You won't believe, i am still using the phone since 2016. Never heated or hanged during use. Camera still better than many high grade vivo, oppo etc. Amazing to have all these years. This is how companies should make products. Obviously volume is not eligible to perform many updated duties or handle apps who have increased in size and it has no app store as Huawei was banned.

I had this phone from 2017, and it worked fine untill 2023. The version i had was ALE-L21 with last update Android 6, EMUI 4 before the ban of this brand.
As a phone, it was great, with verry litlle use on the internet. When speacking it was loud and clear with no audio artefacts. I had no problems with bluetooth, wifi or other hardware or software.
In 2023 was forced to change the phone, so i powered it down.
Sadly,in 2024, when i tried to power it up, i discovered that even it was turned off it tried to update itself wich bricked the phone.
The phone had the original firmware. A sad end for a good phone.

This was my first smartphone that a friend gifted to me, I'm not a heavy user but it's been running without fault for 9 years. It is finally time for me to upgrade because I need an app that requires Android 7 and above while this phone only upgrade to 6.0.
I will miss it and I can only hope my next phone is as stable as this one has been for me.

The phone is still functional, though obviously there are new budget phones twice as good for half the price these days available.
The battery life has significantly degraded. From full charge to zero it takes approximately 2 hours of active browsing, which is reduced to about 1h if active data transmission like GPS or BT is used and the screen is at maximum brightness. Recharging takes about 4 hours with the charger.
Oftentimes apps become unresponsive and crash, though this has only started as of late. You cannot run heavy apps or really watch videos above 480p on the device anymore. The power button broke down and got stuck inside the phone frame after about 7 years of service but the phone can still be turned on with backup boot.
The screen has sustained moderate blemishing from mechanical wear but no actual cracks on the surface. The backside is a bit deformed due to slight swelling of the battery.
The flip cover I got with it has sustained major blemishes and scratches, wear and tear. It does still hold together although the magnet now merely clings to the cover.
I would not buy Huawei again considering the information security issues with Chinese smartphones, but from a technical standpoint this was a good phone.
