Now that the madness of the launch event is over and all the tech world has crawled back into their respective offices, it is time to get down to the business of seeing what is beyond the shiny Huawei exterior.<\/p>\n

Before I get into the unboxing of the phone, I have to make an announcement, and it’s good news for the readers and the future of Huawei themselves. If you’ve owned a Huawei device then you may have experienced the mixed history of getting updates. However, this may no longer be an issue.<\/p>\n

The review units given out at the press event are running\u00a0pre-release software. Sometimes these devices have a few teething issues which are to be expected. Personally I would say that the software is 99% finished, and it turns out that the missing 1% was found very quickly by the media world. Essentially there was an issue with Google Play services remaining live\u00a0and causing\u00a0excessive battery drain. The phones were given out on Monday and by that evening reports were coming in about flat batteries. Luckily the boffins at both Google and Huawei put their heads together and resolved, tested and pushed out the update within 48 hours! This is great to see and gives me hope that updates will be a lot\u00a0speedier in the future. I guess time will be the deciding factor on this one.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado, let’s have look at the device.<\/p>\n
