I bought this product on Amazon and for the month that I've been using it, this phone has performed quite well. There have been no heating issues either.

The Good

Good battery life
Quick fingerprint detection
Excellent camera

The Bad

The onboard storage
Lack of a hybrid sim card-external memory slot
The back of the phone attracts fingerprints

Good looking, premium body, snappy and flagship for 15k is a steal. The dual cameras take very nice and sharp pictures. Low light photos can be disappointing because of lack of optical image stabilization, but if you manage to keep your hands steady you'll get some great low light photographs as well. Given the home produced hisilicon Kirin 950 processor and 4gb ram make sure that you never experience any lag. The mono speaker does an amazing job in producing clear and high quality sound. It is not too loud but the volume is enough that you'll not have any complaints. Battery life is quite impressive after Huawei provided an updated and it gives me 10hrs of extensive use(WiFi, social media, lil gaming, photography, etc) with 100% charge. It doesn't support 4k recording given that others in this price range does.

The Good

Fast and snappy processor
Great camera quality
Premium looks
Supports fast charging
More than average battery life given its just 3000mah battery

The Bad

Doesn't support 4k recording
Average low light photography
Might not recieve Oreo update (there is no official word yet though, still have some hopes)

I'm using this device since last 15 days. In those days I have tested it every mean possible. This phone is really a champ when it comes to bulid quality. Super thin, lightweight too. Display is sharp and crisp. I haven't noticed any lag. Battery is good. Camera is very nice and well in daylight. But heating issues and fingerprint sensor is slow. Overall a good choice. No regret, no disappointment.

The Good

Display is gorgeous
Top notch build quality
Smooth multitasking performance
Rear dual camera works very well

The Bad

Heating issues while playing games or using camera
Slow charging
Low storage space

Awesome looks, great build quality, fantastic EMOUI, value for money features. Only con is it's slippery as hell. Using a cover hides it's beauty. But at no tables did it not turn heads.. A very good phone by Huawei.

The Good

1. Eye catcher. Amazing looks
2. Perfect size. Not too large not too small.
3. Great screen. Amazing color output.
4. Outstanding camera.
5. EMUI is wonderful.
6. Kirin processor is great. There is slight heat but its only normal.
7. Speedy fingerprint sensor and useful for other functions.
8. IR Blaster is really nifty with the built in app having profiles for most devices in the world. It could even control my local cable stb!

The Bad

1. This phone is a fingerprint magnet.
2. All glass body makes it really slippery. Better use it with a cover.
3. Single sim. This depends on preference though.
4. No usb 3 or quick charge. At this price point, such features are expected.
5. The battery saver app is quite weird.

A good phone overall. Big bezels but the overall performance is good. The software experience could be better. I like the phone and would recommend this.
