Fantastic phone, will last a long time

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017

We have two Huawei P10 Plus in our family (black and blue - both 6GB memory / 128GB storage variants).

Having used these for ~6 months now, below are my observations:
1. screen is sufficient (5.5")
2. No issues with EMUI or Android 7. There is no lag and no issues with storage / memory even while having multiple apps opened in the background (although I am kind of OCD about closing apps as soon as I'm done with it)
3. Call quality - very good. Of course, this is depending on the area you are in w.r.t cell towers/ signal strength. The only thing I have found sometimes is that if you are on 4G and dial a new call, the call takes a few seconds to go through (again, this could be a T-Mobile thing as well).
4. Speakers - could be a little more louder compared to many other phones, but not a con for (either of) us since we either use headphones, or listen via bluetooth
5. Takes amazing pictures - the clarity really is beautiful. Everyone's expectation differs (obviously), but this definitely is one of THE best phones out there for taking pictures - the Leica lens is simply wonderful
6. Battery life - normal usage the phone is around 40% during bedtime. If GPS is used for long time (long drives), the battery is close to <10%, so pretty much normal expected usage out of any smartphone (that has the non-removable battery). I have always used phones with removable batteries, so thought this would be a deal breaker, but so far so good.
7. Charging - time is ~1 hour for full charge via fast charge (I use steanum charger supporting qualcomm 3.0 quick charge, also available here on amazon)
8. No issues with GPS (waze / google maps / bing) while using this anytime
9. Bluetooth / NFC - seamless.
10. Software update has been pretty good - via either the Huawei suite (via PC, using USB) or via over-the-air upgrades (have had couple of EMUI upgrades already). Will wait to see how Huawei lines the Android 8/9/x/y upgrades, as and when they are announced by google.
11. Fingerprint scanner - played with it during setup, no issues

Definitely recommend a case and a tempered glass protector - but this is for ALL smartphones.

Accessories:
Below are the accessories I have used (and like) for this phone:
1. Cases - have used all of these (between me and my wife) and we like all of these - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZZH2GWK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

2. Tempered glass protector (absolutely the best I have used):

The device works fine and is in very good condition

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018

The device works fine and is in very good condition. This was purchased as a gift, mostly for the camera quality and the internal memory capabilities. However, the specifications said that the phone memory was of 164gb when in reality it only has 64GB of internal memory, besides the RAM of 4GB. This was disappointing as it did not meet the intended specification advertised.

It may have been an error when posting the information, however it can be misleading and even a decisive factor for a buyer when making a decision based on what the customer is looking for.

Excellent phone with fantastic camera/battery life!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2017

This phone is fantastic when it's working, and the camera is outstanding!! I love the fingerprint sensor, and the ability to put the navigation button on the 'home' button instead of on the screen itself. That part takes a little getting used to, but it's worth it for the added screen space. The first day I had the phone, the battery drained super fast, but I was able to rectify this issue with the battery optimizer. After doing that, the life is way better than other phones I've had in the past.

Bonus: FGS Trading's customer service was also on-point. When I thought the phone was either refurbished or defective, they offered to have me return it immediately for a full refund. They're a little slow in responding compared to other companies, but still within the time frame they state (2 business days).

Unfortunately, the case I purchased for it made it seem completely inoperable. You can see the case (and my scathing review) here: Huawei P10 Plus Leather Wallet Case Designed by 32nd, Classic Design With Card Slot, Magnetic Closure and Built In Stand - Aubergine .

Thankfully, once I figured out that the case, and not the phone, was the problem, everything is now running smooth as can be and I couldn't be happier.

It is half of the specifications indicated in the description

I bought this Huawei P10 Plus VKY-L29 for $ 604, the device description says it has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of ROM, but it really only has 4GM of RAM and 64GB of ROM, it's practically half of what it is. advertise.
It is assumed that in a virtual store the equipment is sold as it is in the description of the product, this type of errors can not occur, I am very disappointed, the only solution they gave me is to return the equipment to reimburse me the cost, but the problem is that the purchase I made abroad and the resend would cost approximately $ 100
