If, for you against the NFC functionality is not mandatory and that for the photo you consider that a smartphone is only in troubleshooting, you have all the reasons to buy this device.
Why? Because that apart from that he has the qualities and none of the price smartphone has this homogeneity. 4G First, of course, and after 3 weeks of testing in the Paris region, I can say that it hangs well the network (Bouygues in this case)
What else? The design is successful, recalling its monolithic Sony products. The finish is flawless.
The screen is just beautiful, it is very fair in colorimetry and is a pleasure to watch videos in HD on a 5-inch of this quality. The fluidity of navigation is no real fault (I'm not big user of 3D games) Autonomy is good from my point of view (eg it takes a day without problem with a one hour telephone call, an hour of television, use as a remote Squeezbox, one or two "small" games, wifi, bluetooth and GPS connected much of the time, with less intensive use, it takes two days without problems) The hands-free kit is provided for rather poor quality but this should not obscure the fact that they sound very good with a decent headset. I said at the beginning that the pictures in low light were not great: the surprise is that the videos are pretty good even taken indoors.
A word about the overcoat Huawei: I frankly find good, because going in the direction of simplicity: there are more applications screen, the icons of all is on the desktop with the ability to create easily grouping files (so no space problem and ability to customize). Another nice thing, the presence of a removable battery that is not found in the same niche 4G competition (Alcatel Idol S and Sony Xperia SP) And yeah, GPS is extremely fast and accurate. You understood I highly recommend!
