Pros: It’s a lightweight phone that doesn’t lag behind in performance so switching between apps and functions was a breeze. It’s picture quality is great enough for low-lit and bright scenarios. You won’t have to spend too much time setting it up. It powers on fast too. It’s good value for money overall, especially if you can’t afford the Huawei P9 of which this is a lite-r version of.
Cons: If you do get the white model invest in a phone case as the plastic back cover is prone to catching dirt (and facial powder in my case) real quick. You can either use the micro SIM slot for either an actual SIM or a micro-SD card, so you gotta decide, phone calls or storage, for that particular slot. You’re good with the nano SIM slot though.
