Huawei P Smart
A sponsored budget phone with a surprisingly capable camera for around £200, strong in daylight, macro and low light, though portrait mode is weaker.

What I liked
- fast shutter with little blur in daylight
- good contrast and detail
- strong macro
- decent low-light and light painting mode
- Good 5.65-inch Full HD+ 18:9 screen
- Feature-rich cameras for the price
What I didn't
- portrait mode less convincing due to 2MP secondary sensor
- saturation lacking in stock photos
- Noticeable bezels
- Micro USB rather than USB-C
- Only 32GB storage with about 10GB used
- Aluminium back feels less premium than glass
In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“when you do this they actually turn out really well there's a high level of detail”
“considering how cheap the phone is it's one of the most fully featured cameras I've come across”
“UI operation is very fluid and applications load almost instantly”
