Among the best smartphones in the sub $300 range (works on the Sprint & T-Mobile Networks)!
I needed a replacement phone, due to a swollen battery on my Huawei Mate SE (I discovered overcharging a cell battery increases gasses in the battery from a phone tech, so don't leave your phone constantly charging, folks). I could have had the battery replaced by a tech for $55, but decided to treat myself to a slight upgrade. I was very happy with the Mate SE, so I went to Youtube for reviews of Huawei phones. After seeing a number of very favorable reviews of the P30 Lite, I ordered this phone late last Saturday, and received it the following Monday.I had debated spending $500 or more for a "high end" phone, but learned a lot of the technology in more expensive phones is dedicated to photo-taking technology. I'm not a selfie-addict, so I let common sense take over, and opted for a phone in the $300 range (I found a vendor that sold this phone for $259, and 2 day delivery- I didn't want to wait a week in the event my old phone died).The phone comes with the described accessories- USB-C cord, screen protector, charging brick, and a very thin, rubberized case. The phone is very sleek and slippery. I'd suggest putting the case on immediately, so it doesn't slide out of your hand. I originally placed it on a glass table top, and it slid all over the place.The phone has a massive 128 gig internal storage capacity. I put a 128 gig SD card in the 2nd slot. I can't imagine what I'd fill the phone with, but I think most of us have discovered over time that we tend to fill our phones up with pics and music. I'll have plenty of room to download Netflix vids to watch when I'm on a treadmill.Out of the box, the phone was charged to about 56%, and was loaded with Android version 9.The on speaker at the bottom is very loud. I tend to link to a bluetooth speaker or headphones for music and videos anyway. I haven't tried a phonecall on speakerphone yet.The phone seems only able to pick-up the 2.5 Ghz channel on your wireless network.Exporting all my apps and settings from my old phone to the P-30 was almost seamless, using Huawei's Phone Clone app (you can obtain it in the Google Play Store, for your old phone). This turns both phones into hotspots, and you keep both phones close to each other, and 99% of my apps and settings were exported.By default, ALL your apps will be displayed over multiple screens. I thought I would have to spend hours arranging my apps, but discovered the setting (see attached pic) for "Home screen style" under Settings>Home screen & Wallpaper>Home Screen Style> then select the bottom choice, "Drawer." This brought almost all my app icons I had from my old phone, where I nested similar apps in their own "drawers" labeled "music," "tools,' etc. This saved me HOURS of work. All your apps will now be in a drawer that looks like a circle with 3 rows of 3 dots. You can then drag whatever apps out, and align them how you wish. If you drag one app into another, you create a- I think they're called "drawers" which you can then label. This helps categorize apps."Ease of use" is relative. If you're new to the Android world, going through all the settings can be daunting, and there's LOTS of settings under the hood. I'm still discovering many. I appreciate built-in apps, like App Lock, which enables you to protect your apps like email, and banking by preventing use by other people. You unlock the app either by your fingerprint, or passcode.I enabled fingerprint and facial recognition to unlock the phone. The responsiveness is instantaneous. One trick with the fingerprint scanner on the rear of the phone: when looking at pictures, you can use a finger to swipe to the next picture, so you can view a gallery of of photos with one hand, instead of two.There is a notch at the top of the phone, which can be hidden via settings.I find the camera much faster than my old phone, and more variety in how to take take photos. The photos are crisp, and capture colors fairly accurately. Are they iPhone quality pics? No. The camera isn't a big deal for me, but it's nice to have a camera that takes good quality photos. The digital zoom works very well. Sending pics via MMS seem fine to me, unlike another reviewer.There's no native internet calling feature, but there's 3rd party apps that support that (but you will be issued a new phone number).Scrolling is fast and smooth.I found one little quirk: When viewing Youtube, the video is about 20% smaller than the screen. You can go fullscreen using your thumb and forefinger to stretch to fullscreen. It may be a power saving feature; I'm not sure.Huawei is known for its extremely long power use. You'll have to experiment in Settings to find the one right power setting for you.There's plenty more features to be discovered, but at this price point, this phone is a winner.

Exporting all my apps and settings from my old phone to the P-30 was almost seamless, using Huawei's Phone Clone app (you can obtain it in the Google Play Store, for your old phone). This turns both phones into hotspots, and you keep both phones close to each other, and 99% of my apps and settings were exported.

By default, ALL your apps will be displayed over multiple screens. I thought I would have to spend hours arranging my apps, but discovered the setting (see attached pic) for "Home screen style" under Settings>Home screen & Wallpaper>Home Screen Style> then select the bottom choice, "Drawer." This brought almost all my app icons I had from my old phone, where I nested similar apps in their own "drawers" labeled "music," "tools,' etc. This saved me HOURS of work. All your apps will now be in a drawer that looks like a circle with 3 rows of 3 dots. You can then drag whatever apps out, and align them how you wish. If you drag one app into another, you create a- I think they're called "drawers" which you can then label. This helps categorize apps.

"Ease of use" is relative. If you're new to the Android world, going through all the settings can be daunting, and there's LOTS of settings under the hood. I'm still discovering many. I appreciate built-in apps, like App Lock, which enables you to protect your apps like email, and banking by preventing use by other people. You unlock the app either by your fingerprint, or passcode.

I enabled fingerprint and facial recognition to unlock the phone. The responsiveness is instantaneous. One trick with the fingerprint scanner on the rear of the phone: when looking at pictures, you can use a finger to swipe to the next picture, so you can view a gallery of of photos with one hand, instead of two.

There is a notch at the top of the phone, which can be hidden via settings.

I find the camera much faster than my old phone, and more variety in how to take take photos. The photos are crisp, and capture colors fairly accurately. Are they iPhone quality pics? No. The camera isn't a big deal for me, but it's nice to have a camera that takes good quality photos. The digital zoom works very well. Sending pics via MMS seem fine to me, unlike another reviewer.

There's no native internet calling feature, but there's 3rd party apps that support that (but you will be issued a new phone number).

Scrolling is fast and smooth.

I found one little quirk: When viewing Youtube, the video is about 20% smaller than the screen. You can go fullscreen using your thumb and forefinger to stretch to fullscreen. It may be a power saving feature; I'm not sure.

Huawei is known for its extremely long power use. You'll have to experiment in Settings to find the one right power setting for you.

There's plenty more features to be discovered, but at this price point, this phone is a winner.

I use a samsung note 9. I bought this phone for fun. Let me tell you, specs aside, this phone is pretty damn good. Cameras are great, app systems are great and devices works flawlessly. Unfortunately you cannot registed your device to the us using the Huawei system but that doesnt matter at all because ive made two accounts, one for china and one for canada, to get the best out of my phone i just switch between them. The great thing about this andriod phone is it looks better the lollipop, it uses exumi or something like that. I dont know, but i love this phone. I couldnt connect it to my 5gh wifi but 2.4 ghz worked fine. The functionality of this thing is just so fun and makes laugh that i paid 1200 for my samsung and only 200 for this. The two interface systems on both are really beutiful and comparible but honestly i like the huawei one more and the themes that my chinese account provides are very beautiful. As far as service goes, dude just pop the micro sim in and bam your good to do. I hate using google, i dont like google, so having the Huawei app system is really nice and i can disable/ delete most of the google bs. Ive got my phone in English but sometimes spanish or chinese pops up and its kinda weird but its nothing important had to download netflix apk from website because i didnt want to use google play and Huawei didnt offer it in updated version but its all good and works no problem. The phone itself is much more superior than compared to apple devices, long battery, flawless transitions, good quality pictures, charging port usb c with normal headphone jack just like my note 9

Anyways, if you live in the us, dont fret, this phone is bad ass and you should buy it.

Worked for about a year and half and then suddenly got IMEI blocked. We use Tmobile as our carrier, but this phone got an IMEI block from Mexico. Called our T-mobile and all they said was they are unable to unblock this. We have to call this random telecom provider in Mexico to get it blocked, pretty sure that is going to be a wasted effort. I assume it is because this phone is either internationally unlocked or was originally manufactured to be used in Mexico and the seller is selling it in the US Market. T-mobile customer rep also "suggested" something was fishy going on with phone from the seller (their words not mine). Also msg the seller, NO response whatsoever. Also the Manufacturer Huawei has zero support in the US, you call the number and it goes to VM automatically.

This is an Excellent phone. It has all the features that I need and more. The speaker volume is LOUD for me and my wife. (We are in our mid 60s.) The picture quality is great. It is easy to navigate. The camera is great. Huge storage. Fast charge. Playing YouTube video is smooth.

One concern I had before I purchased the phone is whether it is compatible with T-Mobile services. I chatted with a T-Mobile rep online and was told it should work based on the specs I read about it. After I got the phone, when I put the IMEI number in T-Mobile web site to check compatibility. This message comes up "Good news! You should have a great experience using your own phone with T-Mobile—it has features that typically perform well on our network." I took it to the local T-Mobile store. The rep installed the SIM card for the prepaid service, I called home and it worked!

I am very happy with this purchase. And I ordered a second one for myself. (The first one was for my wife.)

The price is very reasonable. My son bought a USED older Samsung phone (I am not sure about the model.) and that phone costs $270, which is MORE than this phone. And I do not see any better feature that Samsung phone has over this Huawei P30 Lite.

So overall, I am very happy with this phone. I recommend it to anyone, especially older folks who do not need the bells and whistles of the high end phones.
