Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L29 64GB Black, Dual SIM, 5.9", Dual 20 MP +12 MP, GSM Unlocked International Model, No Warranty

Admittedly I bought this phone from ebay after the amazon seller sent me an obvious open box dirty phone but this is a phone review, not seller review.I've had just about everything quality out there. Disclaimer I am a blackberry and iPhone person but have also used everything else made by major companies. I've used the mate 8, 9, 10 pro and now the standard mate 10.I like this over the mate 10 pro for the simple reason that the screen is a true 16:9 ratio. Almost all of YouTube and other content is in this format and I like the full screen being utilized without any letterbox issues.Speed wise they are the same. Battery wise I see no difference.The screen on this doesn't quite "pop" as much being an LCD but to me it actually seems sharper. I was able to distinguish pixels on the pro version and I cant on this.The 4gb of ram is plenty adequate for everything I've thrown at it. I use blackberry software on this including the hub which is very ram intensive and have no issues.The camera on this phone is amazing. If you like the simplicity of a point and shoot in auto mode, it may not be better than an iPhone 8 or X, but close. However, if you like to swap over to the pro mode now and then like I do (which you can't do with the iPhone e) it truly is incredible.I always carry a nikon d7500 in my car and fully understand no phone camera ever can rival a dslr, but this is as close as I've gotten. Period.I do not believe for one second that the Chinese are spying on me by me using this phone. I have not seen a single iota of proof from anyone of any backdoor or other software backdoor. Scare tactics and loud chants. I believe that this witchhunt is 100% political and corporate sabotage motivated.If you are looking for a phone that is an a around excellent package and doesn't break the bank, you've found it. Stop reading anymore about it and just buy it. If you hate it return it but I don't believe you'll be able to put it down.I will continue in using this along with my BlackBerry Key2 for when I feel like using a slab.Here is a couple of completely random photos taken with the mate 10.

This divice was delivered in Aug 20, 2018 so i have it for almost a month of use now, and so far is the perfect smartphone for my needs, i will depend on what you want from your own needs, i try to put the pros and cons so you have an idea of what you are getting. PROS: powerfull hardware (not the best but more than requier for almost everything you trow at), IPS diplay in my case i prefer realistic colors than the OLED cause i do a lot of photgraphy with it, dual sim (i do not use it) but i do use the second slot for my SD to store lots of content (microSD, up to 256 GB, uses SIM 2 slot), front facing fingerprint scanner that i use a lot when wonking in my desk pc, headphone connector which i love so i can use my existing hifi headphones (sound is great, very good D/A converter), Non-removable Li-Po 4000 mAh battery wich get you to end of the day with almost 1/4 life with more than usual use, simulated stereo speakers using the auricular one just for high reproduction (not the best but better than just the one facing botton), IR that can control almost any divice TVs, ACs, Recivers, etc., and the last thing i like a lot is the pc mode with just a cable adapter from USB-C to HDMI that is about $9 to 15 here in amazon. I do want to say that it includes a silicon acrilic case that i am using. CONS: Because of the glass back finish it is very slippery so you need to use a covercase, very dirty with fingerpints and it is a bit heavy. I hope you found this info usefull. I included all the photos i think you may find of use.

Battery drains too fast don't know if is a hardware bug

Here's the important stuff I couldn't get a user experience answer on:Yes, it does work on AT&T including their LTE and LTE-A(dvanced) network where applicable. You may need to contact AT&T and have them update your imei, but everything has been working great (I have the L29 model and am using it in Cincinnati on AT&T, and I have a friend with the same model using it on AT&T in Los Angeles)Huawei's antennas and modems are top notch. On both wifi and cellular I consistently get better speeds than my iPhone 7 Plus and my wife's iPhone 8 Plus.The phone is smaller than my iPhone 7 Plus, but has a larger sceenHeadphone jack is awesome and the on board audio dac is incredible. Makes listening to music through headphones sound greatFingerprint sensor is the best in the biz. Even faster than Apple's, which is really saying somethingSpeakers are nice and loudCameras are solidBattery life is absolutely phenomenal... I could go on. Huawei is the new Samsung as far as I'm concerned, but their phones don't slow down like other Android phones due to their AI tech.I can't speak highly enough of this phone. Best device on the market in my opinion, especially when considering the price My favorite device I've ever used since the Galaxy Note II. Their Android "skin" EMUI is also really powerful. Gives me a lot of customization optimizations/control that I used to only be able to get via rooting and installing a custom ROM.

I have used Many Huawei phones. But, None of them is as bad as this one. I don’t know whether or not my SIM card is incompatible with the phone, but I can’t use it since I even can’t catch the signal. Besides, I can’t open message in ordinary way. I hope those error is attributable to the delivery, not phone itself.

It was 3g hd, AT&T would not let me use it.The description does not detail that information. I use AT&T they refused to activate this cell phone. Because of the change to 4 and 5g hd cell phones that makes 3g useless after Feb 2022. The restocking fee is a bad joke. You should be protecting your customers better. Not reaping them off...
