" ... Huawei and google are aware of the battery issues plaguing these phones. ... Otherwise it would have been a pretty good phone but the battery turning into crap barely a year after I got it, and the crap customer support I'm getting means I will never bother with this manufacturer again, and likely not bother with google either. ... "

" ... But my battery won't stay charged hardly it drains quick. ... "
" ... The phone arrived with a dead battery that won't hold a charge for more than 15-20 minutes. ... It took me five minutes to realize the battery issue so I'm assuming the seller knew about it. ... "
" ... This model is plagued with battery and power issues. ... "
" ... Phone shuts down by itself when there is still 50% battery life, unable to turn on unless it's charged for a while, when it's on, battery is 0%! ... Google referred me to the manufacturer Huawei, Huaiwei says pay $150 to replace the battery. ... "

" ... The phone was terriffic up until about a month ago. ... It's my understanding that an update caused this issue, but there hasn't been much of a way to fix said issue. ... I'm so angry that I spent this kind of money on a phone, only to have it stop working properly after SEVEN MONTHS. ... "
" ... Now after 6 months, the phone shuts down when it gets to 84%, it goes immediately to 0%. ... "

EDIT: So it has not been 2 years to the day, and now the usb-c port does not function and i cannot charge the phone so now its essentially dead, some how the charge controls beat the battery to their death. ...

After 10 months, The speaker didn't work, neither, I couldn't hear well, I shipped the phone to Huawei in Texas for to repair, after three weeks, they cannot ship the device back to me, I tried to communicate with support, and they didn't give an explanation and they are rude, they never answered my questions clearly. ...
