I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching

[@sidarthagaur4969]

@@RedskullPro Your welcome. Also, just wanted to know if it as smooth as any other phone with a Snapdragon processor. The reason I am this question is because I had bought the Honor 8x which had the same processor Kirin 710 as this phone and it had a lagged while using it. So, please let me know if this also lags or stutters in the sane way.

[@brett3075]

Thanks for an awesome review, mate. 👍💝 Probably this is the best day-to-day phone at current market with value for money. Hisilicon seems to have done a good job when it comes to performance in its range(12nm chip). No wonder Huawei gained 50% sales in the quarter. I feel like the camera quality is still better compared to other mid range phones. NFC might be a drawback however, other things compensate. Good to know juice still lasts a day.👍👍

[@RedskullPro]

Yeah, too bad about the NFC chip...i mean...it would have been pretty cheap for them to include one...Thanks for watchign!

Hi Alex I would like to ask you Is there any news about Honor 9x Max?

[@RedskullPro]

no...nothing :(

[@BabanFlorin]

Salut Alex! 😉 I need your advice please , what would you choose/recommend between Huawei P30 lite 6GB/128Gb , Xiaomi Pocophone F1 6GB/64GB and Xiaomi Mi 9 SE 6GB/64GB? All three of them at the same price almost ( €255) . My first and biggest requirement is camera quality for every day use ( previous phone Galaxy S7 , super delighted with camera quality , actual phone Nokia 8 very disappointed with the camera). My second requirement would be battery life , not a heavy user but would like to squeeze a full day battery life without problem out of it. Thank you very much for your answer and keep up the good work!! 😉😉😉

[@RedskullPro]

salut, as lua Pocophone

[@BantonOrg]

Redskull, I have been planning to get this phone but some reviews say there are better at the price point. granted, the price is now £220 new so has anything changed ? Hoping you can reply. Thanks :)

[@RedskullPro]

you can get a refurbished LG G7 for around $150...that one will be better in every way....

[@BantonOrg]

@@RedskullPro here in uk, prices for the 64GB version with 4GB ram are about the same, listed brand new however second hand 128 versions are a lot more. New still over £400. Looks like a great phone, currently running an S8 and can't justify the extra for a 9. I've done a life of chinese phones all mediatek so crap satnav and crap camera but now the prices are finally falling for octa core non-mediatek phones. That said, this S8 only downfall is my eye sight and the smaller screen. The battery is a little disappointing for what I am used to too. I do love the bezelless (I know right) screens now though. The S8 cost me £105 second hand with a unaffected cracked screen. It's time to rule out the basics fully now and the only real thing putting me off the p30lite is the lack of waterproofing. In about a week I am ready to move on. Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate it. However the LGg7 is too much new.

Hi Alex, need your expert insight. Have a Huawei Mate SE and I am now upgrading, Love budget phones and their costs and I'm deciding between the following: Huawei P30 Lite for $270 (think it's almost $250 +/- at amazon) Huawei Mate 20 Life for $200 Huawei Mate 10 Pro (renewed via amazon) for $300 Umidigi S3 Pro for $270 What do you feel could be the "best bang for your buck"? thanks in advance!

[@mayattv4986]

I am not an expert certainly, but for the sake of BEST UI and usabilty features, Good Camera and Better Overall Experience, expandable plus 2 4G Simcard and 4000 mAh, get Samsung Galaxy A50 or A70. For the sake of Good to GREAT Camera, Good UI and usability, Hybrid sim card and sd card expansion and 3,340 mAh, get the Huawei P30 Lite (Best speaker) For the budget, you can get GOOD camera, smooth gaming and GREAT Battery, get the Xiaomi Redmi 7. (IT WILL SURPRISE YOU AT $150)

[@Andrewx4]

For me personally I'd say it's more midrange than budget. I'd say under $300 is budget. Good review as always though dude

[@albeefrom335]

@@RedskullPro Thanks! I have a question, do you think the Samsung a50 is a good budget phone?

[@ThomasTVP]

As a budget phone I think the Redmi Note 7 is the better choice, especially as far as the camera is concerned. With its (fake) 48MP Samsung lens you can get great daytime pictures and [with GCam] decent night shots, better than the ones you demonstrated for the Huawei. Also, the build quality is even better, a bit at least. Even below the P30 Lite price you can also get the Note 7 Pro, with an even better Sony lens. And they also have great battery life with their 4,000mA batteries. I had the not dissimilar Mate 20 Lite for a while. A short while.

[@RedskullPro]

absolutely, there are a lot of phones cheaper than this that offer great performance...the problem with some of those is the fact that you have to import them from China and cannot get them from a carrier... I know Xiaomi has stores across Europe..however...not in North America where I am located :(
