" ... The three cameras work fine ... "
" ... The reason why I personally don't believe it deserves full 5 stars is because the camera isn't as crisp as I thought it would be, the default UI setup is not as practical and easy-to-use (but can be customized to your preference at least, just extra work), and I also noticed that there's no option to encrypt your data files on this Huawei phone. ... "
" ... I'm very happy with how it functions and the camera is really great. ... "
" ... My favorite function is the food mode on the camera. ... "
" ... Camera is exceptional . ... "
