Design and Quality

Huawei has worked a lot on the quality of its products over the past many years. It is made up of aluminum unibody similar to HTC One M8. Though the side of the phone is large and heavy but Huawei has supported many features to let it be easily handled with single hand like the volume rocker and the power button is located at the right side of the device so reaching them with single finger is easy. The length of the device is 157mm which is larger than 153.5mm Samsung Galaxy Note 4. There are no traces of any bezel around the 6-inch screen. The corners of the handset are nicely curved besides having back of the phone curved as well in order to make it rest comfortable in hand. The space above and below the larger screen is minimum but enough to support the front facing camera and speaker above while the Huawei logo below the screen. There is little issue with the sound of the set. It has only one speaker in front and a speaker grill at the back of the phone rather than employing dual speakers in front as done by HTC One Max. So the back grill can be easily covered by hand while holding the phone and this may stop the proper sound. At the top of the handset is 3.5mm headset jack while at the bottom is microUSB charging outlet. Towards the left side is the microSD card slot and micro/nano SIM slot. MicroSD card slot can also be used to insert another SIM thus making the device dual SIM. Unlike Samsung Note all series, Huawei has not added any stylus to be used with this set and all functionalities are to be done with fingers.
