I have the 3+32gb variant and it works very well still. But since I have this last 2018, I purchased a new battery from the center to get it working longer.

    Cameras are still great. Love the mono lens a lot. For games, it would only run casual ones properly. I would suggest to minimize the use of floating apps like Messenger's chat head because it stutters due to the animations and apps now needed more resources.

    I'll use this phone until it dies.

      How limited are we nowadays with this phone?
      Wanderind to buy one used to do basic smartphone functions like social media, youtube and whatsapp. Is it still doable nowadays?

                      Huawei has one of the best after sales service in the world for call centres, repair centres, and technical support. I would recommend you give it a try, if you haven't done so already.

                      I recently (early July 2022) had a P9 battery replacement done by Huawei repair centre. The total cost was < USD10. They can change all other parts such as screen, main board, camera module, etc.. The service was door to door by courier at no courier cost to the customer. Their services are just exceptional.

                          I've been using this phone since 2017, and all I can say is that Huawei P9 is very durable. Although it is outdated, I'm still afraid to upgrade as the camera and the durability of this phone is way better than the peak mid-tier phones nowadays 2022. Even though this is just a 12mp camera but its strong processor and leica features would just top those 64+mp camera with bad processors.
                          I've lost count on how many times my Huawei P9 fell even at 1m+ height, there is still no scratch on its screen and just very minor scratches at the back, and all that without the case. (coz its hard to find one)

                          The only thing I dont like is the updates and the memory. My phone is also stuck at EMUI 5.0.4 and just wouldn't update. Due to this, I think I need a phone upgrade.
