Its a good phone but with third party firmware. The phone was previously configured in Chinese language. |

Exumal:Most of those USA used phones are Chinese phones and when they bring it in here,for u to be able to use it since its always in Chinese language even when you switch the language to English. So they flash new English firmware to permanently erase the Chinese language |

Exumal: After days of research, I got to the bottom of what really happened. Most China Used phones come with Chinese ROM and this one I got was not an exception. Thus it needed a global ROM. This where the engineer made the mistake. Huawei p8 has two variants, the 16gb ROM (mystic champagne and one other color like) and 64gb ROM (Gold and black). Mine is mystic champagne, so I believed a global ROM compatible with it should be used but I presume the engineer used the 64gb variant. In addition, It even carried the label; "China Mobile". China Mobile is a telecommunication company in China, just like Verizon and AT&T in the US. This signified it's an original prototype but with another a wrong ROM.
