Hi Nairalanders,

Again, I'm here to seek comments before embarking on "Huawei Mate 10 Lite" adventure.
I have checked some reviews online and not sure if I am missing something.

Would appreciate your inputs (alternatives/pros&cons/...) before purchasing it.

Thanks in advance.

Why not take a look at the huawei honor 7x, same chipset and enjoy so many XDA support already except you are after the band 28 in the mate 10 lite.

Thank you for your recommendation. I have checked both gadgets and below are the few points that discovered:

* Honor's 2nd camera is only 8MP compare to 13MP in MATE 10 Lite
* Honor has no usb on-the-go
* There is no Document editor in Honor, only document viewer
* I bet you agree that the band may be handy for faster internet

It does support OTG, this is basic standard in most phones these days, you are really nitpicking re the document editor. Yes the band is good if Glo 4G is great in your Area. Have you been to YouTube to watch the selfie camera comparison between both? It is not about the numbers of MP most times, sensor and aperture play a great role.

This is a great phone bro!

I have tested several Huawei phones and they work great. I must say they are the best phones after Samsung.

Since you said "after" Samsung, do you mean Samsung is better? Anyway, I am not a fan of Samsung owing to the fact that I once worked with LG Electronics in Nigeria

Well, for the band, it's no problem here as I live and work in Dubai.
Today, an Indian colleague informed me that the security level in Huawei is quite low compared to Samsung. I don't know how true that it is because they are both androids and prone to same categories of bugs.

What does he mean by security level? They aren't cloud eccentric and does he mean security patches? In terms of security, you should be looking at Xiaomi as they have cloud services.

Download 3rd party apps for editing your docs.

Huawei can easily be hacked, he said. I did not agree with him though.
Xiaomi? From which country? Never gave that a thought as I am a bit brand conscious... lol. Will check out some Xiaomi models and see.

Trust me, this is one way to make your device vulnerable to attacks, I'm kinda skeptical on downloading stuffs.

Are you just hearing about Xiaomi? One of the biggest phone brands in the world.

I use a Huawei p10 lite. Great phone, smooth multitasking and after over 6 months, no lags or slow downs. Only their gpu which seems to be a let down for gaming freaks. The android skin overlay isn't to everyones taste but aside that it's a great phone. Huawei devices to me is second only to Samsung in the android world. Keeping an eye for HMD'S NOKIA resurgence.

nice one. Wel, I think Samsung has some of the best smartphones at the moment. I mean, they have so many devices and models that it's a probability that some of them are actually good ones

Not just hearing about it but it's not popular in the market

What would you say about Huawei phones, particularly Huawei Mate 10 Lite?

GbengaOGA:

Maybe it isn't over there.

Today, I purchased my Huawei Mate 10 Lite and hopefully it is value for money.
Thank you guys for your contributions, I do appreciate.
Cheers

Well, you may be right but which market do you think it is popular? Here in Dubai, it is not.

Price approximately N117,000.00, though it comes with a gift of Philips hair shaver

First observation is the battery life, not shocked because someone already mentioned it above. lol
