" ... Oh and it constantly updates it's software which makes me super happy. ... "
" ... This is a pretty good Android phone. ... "
" ... Check the Hauwei web site to find other unmentioned features the phone does have. ... Buy the phone and enjoy all that it can do including Android 8.0 which will update when you start the phone. ... "
" ... I placed the order for a new Huawei Mate SE phone Sunday and got it 2 days later as anyone would expect via Amazon Prime. ... After finishing my order at Amazon, I can't wait for receiving the new phone - Huawei Mate SE. ... Installing a few popular Apps runs very smooth. ... "
" ... Amazing interface the phone is lightweight, and everything is just good. ... I've been an Apple user and this was such a different kind of place, but a good kind of place you know? ... "
" ... I had a BLU Advanced 5.0 prior to getting the Huawei Mate SE, and it was a decent starting smartphone. ... The phone runs fairly smoothly when I run three or four apps at once - especially Google Maps, Amazon Music, and the camera (I use the phone as a dash monitor). ... "

" ... I made with good resistant materials and screen pictures look amazing and is very fast. ... "
" ... The phone looks great, has a good screen, excellent battery life, the camera is good, but the main thing I use my phone for is tracking with Strava, and other GPS based apps for kayaking and hiking. ... "
" ... It feels solid and screen quality is pretty good too. ... "
" ... Here you have a phone, as with all their phones, that has excellent battery life, a really nice screen, acceptable sound, and everything on it works pretty much flawlessly. ... Why does anyone need a supposed high end, super bright phone? ... It takes calls flawlessly (my note 8 has issues with calls, especially on Bluetooth), it works well searching on the net, screen is plenty bright at just over 50%, sound is more than acceptable (I am not looking to use it as my stereo), and I don't game so I could care less for that. ... "
" ... If you have eyes that don't see so well, you may have to download a text enhancer for bigger text. ... "
" ... This phone was a step down in terms of display size from my Ascend Mate 2. ... However having used it for a day or two, I realized that it is a gorgeous phone with an amazing screen and some really cool features having Android 8.0. ... "
" ... Lots of storage (more than I need), enough RAM, fast enough CPU, bright screen . ... "

" ... -long battery life ... I was most hoping for at least a similar experience however while there are some great aspects (screen, battery life) I found there to be many things surprisingly lacking. ... The battery life is amazing, and I do love the screen size and quality. ... There are definitely better options in this price range out there if you're someone who uses a phone beyond battery life and general practical use. ... "
" ... I upgraded from Galaxy S4 and this Huawei is quick and fast, the camera is great, and the battery lasts me about 36 hours with normal usage. ... "
