A complete failure from Huawei.

Gaurav Francis (Jun 29, 2018) on Gadgets 360

The phone is a complete disappointment, lags while using basic applications as well. UI is not refined and no updates. My Moto G4 Plus with 3 GB RAM was far better in performance when compared with it's 4 GB RAM.

Absolutely Amazing!

Dolang Tagung (Jan 24, 2018) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

It's been only a week since I bought this phone and considering its price tag (which was around 12k) I was completely blown away by just how good it is. It's compact, stylish and at the same time comes with some great specifications altogether. Its the device which I always desired since the nexus 5. Full paisa vasool!
