> 24 hourGreat phone so far. Ive had it three weeks and love the battery life and it charged fast. It was also extremely easy to set up. I was able to make calls immediately. The only thing Im concerned about it is that there are authorized repair shops in the US. If nothing goes wrong its a great phone at a great price. If not for the repair issue, I would have given it five stars.

> 24 hourLove the features... But screen broke in 2 weeks... Well i had a terrible fall... So i dont think its the phones fault. In fact the Phone is working perfectly even after the broken screen

> 24 hourThis is my second Huawei phone. I got this one on amazons next day shipping, slapped in my sim card, and I was good to go. First of all, the battery life is awesome. All day on a charge easily. It sips power like my Corolla sips gas. The screen is amazing. Everything works great. There is a feature where you can swipe left on the home screen and it will bring up articles Google thinks I want to see. That will crash on occasion, but it just reverts to the home screen. People cannot believe how cheaply I got this thing. If I had 700 to spend I would have gotten the One Plus 7. But I got this for 230.00 and I am very happy.

> 24 hourI needed to upgrade from my 16GB iPhone 6s for space and just couldnt rationalize the cost of even upgrading to a used iPhone 8. I was nervous to switch to Android, so I certainly didnt want a cheap phone to be the cause of my frustration, but the whole point of switching was to save money. This phones specs blew the same-price competitors away and was within my price range. So far Im very happy with it (1 month). Speedy, good looking, responsive... really no complaints as far as not doing what I need versus my iPhone. I connect to my car via an external bluetooth, attaching my phone to a mounted magnet for use (I have an older vehicle that doesnt have built-in bluetooth and screen). I only stream music (never use the cars radio/cd player) and I use maps frequently... everything has worked flawlessly. Phone calls have been clear using the phones headset, speaker and bluetooth. Quality check with friends: everyone says I sound just as clear as I did on my iPhone in all scenarios. Ive had no dropped calls and 4G works fine on AT&T. Signal isnt as great in my house (1-2 bars), but my calls have still been perfect. Battery lasts twice as long as my iPhone (and I replaced the battery on it a few months ago, getting the same battery life as I did when new). I can easily get a full day, play white noise overnight, and get through most of a second day. Charging is super fast. I think my biggest concern was the camera, and there are definitely pros and cons. Huawei gets grainy quicker in low light situations vs iPhone, BUT it also does a better job making low light pics look brighter. Pics that simply wouldnt turn out on the iPhone will turn out on Huawei, although grainy. In better light, pics are very similar. Huawei also has a lot of cool picture options that the iPhone didnt have, so overall Im happy with it. I think I actually like the video quality better on Huawei, especially screen resolution. I get a much wider shot. Videos are very sharp with bright colors and clear sound. Regarding Android: Huawei includes a number of apps of their own that cant be deleted, but I think its pretty minimal as far as bloatware goes. I got Nova Launcher from the Play Store, so my home screen is totally customized... which has gotten me hooked on Android now! For anyone else switching from iPhone, this is a must! You can choose custom icons for your apps, double up apps (I have my camera app, but then I just slide up on the app to open my photo viewer instead of having that app on the screen; same with FB and Messenger - tap or slide one icon, the two communication apps my kids teachers use, etc). This seriously reduces clutter! The widgets are super awesome too. I have my music streaming set up as a widget and can control most of it through the home screen now. I also have weather and time (larger print is much easier to use than the little clock on the top, and I can tap on the time to open the timer and the weather to open my weather app). My messaging app is also set up as a widget so I can see my most recent texts at a glance. You can also create rapid dial widgets, so I have 2 groups with custom icons for most common friends and family, so I rarely have to use my dialers contact list or navigate to favorites now. The downside to Android, though, is that all the stuff that comes standard on Apple isnt standard... so many dialer, voicemail, messaging, and keyboard apps, and the crappy ones are useless and full of ads. Its a total time-suck finding what works! To possibly save you some time: I use the Huawei dialer and Visual Voicemail (customize to open when I swipe up on the dialer app). I use Pulse for messaging - it works flawlessly and syncs on multiple devices (I loved using iMessage on my Mac and had no issues migrating to Pulse), plus it is super reasonably priced unlike others that want $80/year subscriptions... might as well get an iPhone at that rate! I liked Digital Clock Xperia as my time, date and weather widget. SwiftKey Keyboard is my favorite, although I dont think its quite as intuitive as Apple, but has other customization options that balance it out. Definitely order a new case - the clear one that comes with it if cheap. Itll prevent scratches, but I doubt theres any shock absorption in falls. The choices were limited when I purchased this because its a new model, but I went with Spigen Rugged Armor. I also ordered a 3 pack of 6 type c cables. The Supershieldz screen protector didnt work (air gap around the edges and loosened after a few weeks, effecting touch screen sensitivity, but at that point peeled off very easily).

> 24 hourI have only used this phone for a week but I DID receive the right model, had no issues popping in my t-mobile US Sim card and using all the features. I LOVE it so far. Amazing cameras, very fast processing, AMAZING battery life. Like, 93% at late evening despite some Hulu streaming. Charges in like 20 mins before bed because I barely lost any power through the day.

> 24 hourJust want to post this review in case anyone is considering purchasing via Amazon (mainly from another region, but this also applies to US citizens considering traveling), it may save a bit of heartache. Bought this phone (SNE-LX3) new 9 months ago (September 2019). Phone was used regularly -and liked - for a few months when the handset developed a reboot problem seemingly after a software update - i.e. rebooting randomly at first, the issue then progressed to rebooting to erecovery screen and eventually to bootloop - from which erecovery screen could be reached by holding down power+vol down. I downloaded the update several times from erecovery screen to no avail - the problem seemed to get worse each time but this may be just a sentiment resulting from frustration on my part. Also, this would not appear to be an isolated problem with this device - Huawei have a page dedicated to resolving issues such as this on their website and mention this type of fault. Contacted Huawei and arranged for the phone to be sent in for repair - returned un-repaired due to this being a US device - (currently residing in EU - so EU purchasers beware). Contacted Huawei again about returning to a repair centre in US. The response was as follows - some Huawei devices are manufactured to only work in specific regions and therefore your device is out of warranty - note for any US citizen traveling abroad who may have this unit. So left with paperweight. Cannot unlock bootloader to reinstall a previous version of the firmware to see if this will fix the problem - Huawei no longer allow this and so will not provide bootloader unlock codes. Pity as it was a nice phone - I have purchased 3 Huawei devices (tablet and 2 phones) - no more.....

> 24 hourGood phone overall. Quick response for daily use apps like Snapshot Facebook, YouTube ext. ... Decent camera. My only complain/dislike will be that depending on the Mate model it will not have NFC. Make sure you check the model, in my case the SNE-LX3 doesnt have NFC. Other than that so far im happy with my purchase. Oh and I do get AT&T LTE.

> 24 hourIs a great phone, for example I charge every night and the next night I have 30% in apps like Instagram, youtube, mail, messaging, calls and other apps. The material quality is good and is very slim. The only bad thing is the sound and the face ID.
