The editors didn't like
It's pretty big
Performance doesn't sparkle
Old version of Android
Too much bloatware
Almost impossible to use one handed
Micro SD slot hard to access
You need two hands to use it
Interface is underwhelming
Less pixels than rivals
It's running on an old version of Android
Huawei's software tweaks make it clunky to use and there's loads of bloatware installed as standard
Emotion UI makes needless changes that hamper performance and make the phone less user friendly
Awful UI
Lots of bloatware
May be too big for some
6-inch screen means huge a handset
Default theme is horrid (as are most downloadable ones)
Vibrate alert feeble
Some software irks
Battery life could still be better given 4100mAh capacity
No UHD/4K video
Good battery life
But should be better given the enormous battery capacity
Graphics chip might be a little underpowered for future titles
You have to choose between a second SIM or microSD

Fingerprint reader can be hit and miss depending on hand size; Lockscreen should support other music players, but doesn't seem to; If you use nanoSIM, you won't have a microSD slot available to you; If you use two SIMs, you won't have a microSD slot avail
Huawei's first serious phablet is a hit as far as value goes, packing so much in it's hard not to see the work the manufacturer has put into this product.From the excellent build quality in a phone running two days of battery life, to the amount of extra ...

Solid build, Large display, Finger-print scanner, Elegant design
Huawei sign/charging port not centred, Large display means large phone, Launcher/default apps difficult to change
