I just would stay out of Huawei. They are ok, but have lousy network connections.

I'm posting on mine now. 

I bought it 1 or 2 years ago to replace my broken iPhone. 

I will never buy another iPhone again. 

This is a great phone for me.

Sounds good, I just bought a Y5P from Powerbuy, it's great and I'm happy with it. I was looking at Lazada too, but I had a really bad experience of buying a USB flash drive from a lazada vendor that was fake. I went through the returns process and Lazada basically didn't care and only replied with 'return to sender' after the time period had elapsed so all I could do was leave the seller bad feedback. Because of that I wouldn't go with a cheap phone, but I'm sure they're fine. 
The thing I found out from the PowerBuy seller is that all the latest Huawei phone don't have Google services - so no Youtube app, no Play store and no location on LINE (so you can use location-related services). I don't really care about that stuff - the Huawei app store seems fine and I can watch Youtube through the browser.

why buy Chinese goods from a company asscociated strongly with the oppressive CCP, get one from a country that treat people better.

Almost everything I buy, wear, and use is made in China (and therefore associated with the CCP) so opting out is a little tough! Even if you buy Apple or Samsung, it's made in China. Huawei are actually really good value and reliable - I just bought a Y5p and it came with screen protection film already applied and a free silicone case in the box. It's a different buying experience from buying Samsung or Apple where the first trip is the local phone shop for film and a case (500baht+). 

[Patanawet]

I've had an earlier model Y7 2019 for some time. This is the first phone of many over the years that I have had NOTHING to complain about.

[Orton Rd]

So it's money over principles and cruelty, not all phones are made in China, there is a choice.

Lousy network connections?  What does that mean? 

 

I've got a P9 and a P20, never had any problems with either.  Which ones do you have personal experience of that were so bad?

So you have nothing that was made in, or had parts supplied from, China?

I think you would be able to download YouTube, by typing in the search engine, "download YouTube apk android" then downloading the apk and installing it onto your phone. 

You may have to give permission to download from unknown sources in your settings. 

If it asks, it's OK, then you'll have the YouTube app on your homescreen.

Sounds like BS from a salesman pushing another product ..... just checking.

"For its part, Huawei says it "will continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to all existing Huawei and Honor smartphone and tablet products covering those which have been sold or are still in stock globally.""

 

So yep, it was BS, the Y9 (notch or pop-up) were 2019 models, so not part of the ban on Google.

My apps still update, just did google photos, Line, Youtube now.

New Huawei phones (I think from release of Mate 30 onwards) do indeed not have Google services anymore, thanks to that great old man in Washington. The Huawei Y9 was released before the bann came into force, so there are no problems.

4 GB RAM & 4000 mAh battery is budget performance, will be insufficient with more software updates,

and the battery will with predictable decay not keep the thing running without constant recharge at all time.

not at all, 4 Gb 4000 mAh is scraping the bottom of the barrel,

and the speed with which phones advance means its obsolete very soon

[johng]

4Gb of ram is quite sufficient,but as always more ram is better.

for now... i note i consume a little less then 4 GB RAM,

and i am a very light user, like, just about the only thing i use the phone for is

to get inside 7/11.

its not going to be long before an update pushes that to a bit over 4 GB RAM,

at which point the phone has to load from ROM, if 4 GB RAM is all it has,

and that will add lag.

like with pc & new operating systems, its a never ending power creep,

but it happen much faster in android world

that is a short list, how many accounts are you sync up with ?

how many system apps ?

are you on a battery saving mode ?

meaning 3.2 GB isnt free
