5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic 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.
