                    The stock Android 6.0.1 firmware is incredibly slow. I unlocked the bootloader of mine when Huawei still allowed it officially and installed LineageOS, which makes the old phone much more responsive, and of course the 16 GB of storage lasts much longer without all the useless apps the stock ROM has. Unfortunately it died recently (an obvious hardware problem), but I got a good 6 years of use out of it.

                          Still rocking this in 2021 with custom Android 9 ROM and a new battery, it's a great old school device, certainly not powerful but enough for my needs.

                            Huawei GR5 is my first smartphone, I bought it 6 years ago in late 2015 and it served me pretty good for about 3 years.
                            But now it's time to get a new one. Thank you for all the nice services, my friend!

                                    Overall, it's a good phone for light use or browsing, but the lag is somehow consistent. I've been using the phone for more than 3 years already so I have been dealing with it too.
