We've conducted a detailed review of the HUAWEI GR5 16GB, looking into its battery, how easy it is to use the camera, and whether the CPU performance is high or low. Not only that, but we've also evaluated how portable and easy to hold it is, as well as how nice the display is.

Features, Performance, and Reviews for the HUAWEI GR5 16GB

The camera function of HUAWEI GR5 16GB

The "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" has a 13.0MP main camera that lets you take photos and videos in a quite high resolution. You may be a little dissatisfied with it in some situations, for example when you want to capture scenery in very high resolution or print out beautiful photos, but this should not be an issue you run into very often.

The "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" comes with a 5.0MP pixel camera, which is a standard level. It's perfectly fine for selfies, but may be not as satisfying if you wish to take photos of large numbers of people, or make printouts.

The battery performance of HUAWEI GR5 16GB

The "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" has a relatively large battery with 3000.0mAh. The "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" has a good battery life compared to other smartphones. You won't feel stressed even if you spend all day surfing the web or on Twitter and you can also watch videos or play games on the go without having to worry too much about the battery. If you watch videos or play games for too long, however, you might want to watch your battery a bit.

HUAWEI GR5 16GB 's size

The "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" is 76.3mm wide, 151.3mm tall, and 8.15mm thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the "HUAWEI GR5 16GB", it weighs about 158.0g. The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.

In giving an overall rating to the "HUAWEI GR5 16GB", while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.

HUAWEI GR5 16GB 's screen

The "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" has a 5.5inch screen. The smartphone has a large, impressive screen, which allows you to enjoy photos and videos to the fullest. It is also very good for writing business documents and doing other work.

The screen of the "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" is extremely clear, and it's able to display everything from images to videos and even video game graphics in perfect clarity.

The CPU performance of HUAWEI GR5 16GB

The processing power of the "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" is, at 1.7GHz×8(8.0-cores), relatively high. Its features would position it somewhere between high and mid-level among currently available smartphones, but it will be rather stress-free in terms of using most apps. Most 3D games that don't burn up too much memory should be playable to a satisfying degree for the most part. 2D games should be no problem at all.

The "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" has 2.0GB of RAM, so it has plenty of space. In rare cases this amount of RAM might not be sufficient, but there shouldn't be too much stress on the machine with this amount.

The overall operational speed of the "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" rates as a mid-range smartphone. While you will probably not experience much sluggishness or lag with normal use, we recommend a phone at least one tier higher if you want to enjoy games or videos.

HUAWEI GR5 16GB 's storage capacity

The "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" has 16.0GB of data storage, which is plenty for taking photos, but for people who frequently shoot videos or have lots of games installed, this may not feel like enough space.

Since the "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" is compatible with SD cards, you'll be able to easily expand your storage capacity; you won't need to worry about how much internal space it has.

Overall assessment of HUAWEI GR5 16GB

The "HUAWEI GR5 16GB" is a relatively high-performance smartphone. If you plan to use it as your main smartphone, you may find it slightly inconvenient, but within tolerable limits.
