Hardware wise I'm sure you guys did the comparisons and knows the bang-for-buck factor. "How is the actual user experience?" was on my mind.

Answer is: Very good, I think Huawei spent a lot of time on this phone.
*When you hold it in your hands, it rightly, feels like a solid phone. There's no plastic-iky feel (it is made of plastic though); tapping at the touchscreen and tapping at the backcover sounds the same
*Uber fast bootup. It fully boot up before I counted to 6. It turns out Huawei have some sort of Deep Sleep Hibernation feature in it.
*The launcher (AHome) and the pre-installed apps are ok, nothing to shout about. It is a Google phone, so lots of native Google apps.
*Supposingly Huawei will provide 16GB of cloud storage for Honor devices. I'll check that part out later.
- The camera is not as fantastic as the rest though

Summary: Midrange phone @ amazing price.
