Depends on what you want to do with your phone.
Hi HIC hope you are well. I will check this phone out as my daughter needs a replacement for Uni. Are the funcutions the same as andriod on the Huawei and what sort of memory does it have and camera function. Thanks John.Happy in Cyprus wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 2:01 am Agree with JB. My wife's new smart phone is the Huawei Smart P10, available for quite a bit less than the equivalent Samsung product. Though it might be considered a budget model, I was most impressed by it's quality and features as I was setting it up for my wife. We have always been a family of Samsung users, but not any more. My next phone will be the Huawei P20 Pro, which has Leica lenses and three cameras on the front, each performing a different function; important for my business use.
A recent newspaper review of smartphones which I read suggested that Huawei are having to provide more features/functions and at a lower price in order to break Apple and Samsung's stranglehold of the smartphone market. That's what caused us to check out Huawei...I'm glad we did.
Xiaomi (pronounced showme) phones are now also making huge inroads into the mobile market, especially in China; not sure whether they are available locally.
Ta for good information and I will look at this.Happy in Cyprus wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 2:38 am Hi John, I'm good and hope you are too.
Our family in Cyprus (that's four of us) have always had Samsungs and been satisfied with the Android o/s. It was only after I read the newspaper article about Huawei that I though I should check out the brand's offering, rather that simply keep on buying Samsungs. By nature humans tend to be creatures of habit...and sometimes you have to make an effort to be open-minded and see what else is available in the marketplace, rather than simply going for 'same old, same old'. Being a technophobe, my wife didn't want anything too technical, though I would say that in most respects her phone is every bit as good as - if not better than - my now ageing Samsung S5. The price was a bargain. As soon as I started setting it up for use I wanted to switch brands; so too did daughter when she played with it the first time. It's ultra-slim, lightweight and lightning fast in every aspect. If you're familiar with Samsungs, you'll find the switch to Huawei effortless.
This is the spec for the P Smart: https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p_smart-8961.php and this is the Huawei line-up: https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei-phones-f-58-0-r1-p1.php Which one you go for will largely be determined which models your local stores stock.
And this is the drop-dead gorgeous P20 Pro with triple front cameras and Leica optics: https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p20_pro-9106.php
Huawei may be guilty of following some of the not-so-positive trends in the industry such as removing the headphone jack and having a notch on the screen, but we're glad the IR emitter is still on board. It's either Huawei or Xiaomi that you've got left to look to if you want to use your phone to control non-smart stuff around the house. Even the regular P20 won't do - you'll need to step up to the Pro we've got here.STELIOSBWFC wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 3:17 amTa for good information and I will look at this.Happy in Cyprus wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 2:38 am Hi John, I'm good and hope you are too.
