Evaluation 5

Disadvantages: Not
Comment: I took the phone to replace the old asus and Samsung Note 10.1 tablet. Model l29. The device is really fire, was the owner of Honor 2. The battery, in my mode of use, is one and a half, two days. At prices, why are our heaters so bulging prices? I took for 32

Advantages: The screen is clear, bright and sharp. Pixelization is not at all. As 2k, no less, the resolution looks live.
The speed of work - a jet plane, just do not even have time for him sometimes)
Both cameras shoot very clearly in all conditions.
Great software out of the box. This is the first time when I did not want to flash the phone with custom firmware.
Plastic case complete with the device, convenient for the first time.
The body is cool both in appearance and in sensations. Metal!
4G works very quickly and efficiently.
Two active radio modules are always in touch.
Sim card for the Internet can be any, no need to think about in what slot it is.
The phone does not need to be rebooted if you change the SIM card.
The shell from the manufacturer pleases with its speed and responsiveness.
Fingerprint scanner very well work out the touch.
Disadvantages: You need to be careful with him, not to break, the size is still decent
Not removable cover, the battery is not easy to change.
Nano sim
Comment: The screen is cool on the device. Those who write that they need more permissions are not fully understood. I understand. After the LG G3 with its 1440P screen, with a resolution like on my 27 inch monitor, this screen at first seemed even better. Then, when I clarified the resolution, I was surprised. The quality of the screen is super. Now I doubly confirmed my opinion that, on a smartphone, more than 1080P, the resolution only for measuring is known than. No need more if the right quality display. Only put the battery.
Well, in general, I will say on the device - an excellent device, with a bunch of USEFUL software from the manufacturer, who does not want to cut, as it happens with all other models from famous manufacturers.
The speed of work is fire. There are no interface lags at all. Keeps the battery in a very active mode day with a tail.
This is the first device that completely suits me. Huawei, you surpassed the apple. Keep it up.

Comment: There are no problems with push-notifications of managers - in the settings in the energy saving section, you need to install protection on the required applications. And all messages will always come

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Design, equipment, battery, fast charging, interface (the most beautiful and smooth on android that met), excellent signal reception, fingerprint scanner works quickly and accurately, and a convenient location on the back
Disadvantages: Combined slot for the second SIM card
Comment: I think for today, this is the best (or one of the best) apparatus on the android, a lot of positive impressions, although I have never used China before, and have not written reviews)

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Great phone. Holds a charge for a long time. Before him, he used HTC phones for a long time and was afraid for the shell (whether it would be just as beautiful and comfortable) - it turned out to be quite pleasant, fast and pretty. Very good camera.
Disadvantages: There is only one speaker and it is at the bottom of the phone - it turned out to be a small surprise.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: 1. Excellent screen, large size, as I wanted, bright, clear, with very good viewing angles. I am very pleased that the manufacturer did not pursue fashion, and put FullHD instead of the new-fashioned 2k screen, I never understood this technology race, which consumed the battery in vain, on small palm-sized screens.
2. Excellent battery life. It is easy to live 2 days with my use, on the third you have to charge - an excellent result with such a powerful processor and such a large screen. I flew 8.5 hours on an airplane - I watched movies almost all the time, TV shows on the device, by the end of the flight 42% of the charge remained. Very impressed.
3. Performance - well, the most powerful Android device as it did at the beginning of 2016. Not a single lag, brakes are noted, all the most sophisticated games that I installed for the test went very smoothly and smoothly. Even after a couple of hours of play, the phone became a bit warm, there is no heating problem in principle.
4. Excellent build quality, no squeaks, no backlash. The device looks very expensive and solid.
5. Remarkable reception quality of the cellular network. I had before this Sony Z3 +, so in those places where Sony has already switched to 3, and even 2G, this Chinese confidently keeps in touch in LTE. Although the device is of the Chinese version, almost all LTE bands known to science are there. All 3 Russian operators worked for me in 4G.
6. The shell is not bad, although it takes some getting used to. Although the idea with the application icons on the desktops I like is convenient.
7. Fingerprint works great, 9/10 operations are accurate, and very fast. The only pity is that it is on the back of the smart, not conveniently located.
8. The speaker is very loud, and even at full volume it does not wheeze, there is nothing to complain about. I am not a music lover, but I also liked the sound in the headphones, loudly, cleanly, clearly, without distortion.
Disadvantages: 1. What kind of ***** (they don’t miss reviews here, if you call a spade a spade, I think you understand) coming up with these combined SIM card / memory card slots in modern devices, I don’t know. Anecdote reminds - "Do you have tea with sugar or brewing?" Even on a giant 6-inch phone there was no place for a separate slot, which is in grandmas phones for 500 rubles each? What a mockery right. No, of course, I know that you can stick a second SIM card on the SD card, and use this sandwich in one slot - but in a phone for 40 thousand such manipulations look at least strange.
2. The camera could be better, not perfect. For the device, which claims to be the flagship of 2016, the lack of 4k video recording is at least not normal. I don’t need it in general, and I don’t have 4k TV to watch the footage, but in 2016 it is a de facto standard. Yes, and just the video and photo apparatus takes, though good, but not perfect. Let's say 4+. I had a Lg G4, there was a super camera there, just a standard, and the Chinese just have a good, high-quality camera with no frills.
3. The phone supports fast charging, but forgot to put the charger for this case in the box. Inside, only normal charging. And if you want a quick one, pay more. Strange position of the manufacturer.
4. Sometimes there is a problem with push notifications from instant messengers, VC, Viber and so on, not coming, if the application is not open and does not hang in memory. Why is this nonsense marked on all phones of this manufacturer. But despite the constant complaints, the manufacturer is not in a hurry to change the situation.
5. In the menu, no, no, yes, and hieroglyphs will slip, not all built-in china applications are completely removed. However, on 4pd there is a solution to this problem.
6. The device is too heavy, however, this is easily explained by a powerful battery "on board"
7. The name of the company for the Russian ear does not sound very cool :)
Comment: This is the first smart that I don’t want to change at all, because it suits me 99%. Excellent premium smartphone, a little inferior, and in some ways superior to competitors. Unexpected for Huawei device. Stylish, comfortable, beautiful, fast. It is of great interest to all who see it. Immediately discourages skepticism against the “Chinese” after a couple of minutes of its use, no matter who takes it in his hands.

Specially took the version with 3/32 of memory, no longer needed, because a 64GB memory card with a glued SIM card ("Sandwich") was already ready :) And the 3GB RAM is currently enough for everything absolutely. I had 2 games in my memory, Chrome with 118 tabs, and another 5-6 applications of lesser importance was in my memory, but there was still a whole free GB of memory.

Model Nxt-AL10. There are not so many competitors with 6 inches, but with a good screen, autonomy and performance - I don’t see any at all. Asus and Lenovo play in another league, despite the similar screen size))) If you look at 5.7 screens, there is of course a lot of competition, and the latest samsas, iPhones, and nexus (also by the way from Huawei). But they all have their own shoals. There are no memory cards. That battery is weak. That screen is an unnecessary 2k battery, or vice versa - dim and dull. That without the second sim card. That is terribly uncomfortable - the power button on top (asus, hello). That camera is weak, and without wholesale stabilization (a very useful thing by the way - hand shake compensates, this model works very well). There is no perfection in the world :))

This device has only one global flaw - the problem with pushing, and I think it will be corrected with future firmware, the rest is unpleasant, but insignificant. (An update came up yesterday, the camera got better. I think the firmware will be brought to mind in time, and all problems will be solved) And no matter how much it costs, another hundred bucks is cheaper than the flagships of other companies. So I am completely satisfied with it, an excellent device for my money.
