Huawei G7 Plus - User Reviews

  • How can make functional i

  • Isran.i need one cover orginal

  • it's been almost 2 years that i'm using this device without any interruption and problems. I just found two cons out of this device. one is overheating and the other is draining of battery fast. accept these, this device is still giving me outstanding service (I am not a gamer or heavy user). at the end, i realized Huawei is the most reliable brand in mobile industry considering the prices of their devices.

  • I had my G7+ for almost 2 years and was very happy with it. Only replaced it after cracking the screen and noticing that the battery was not lasting as long between charges. Replaced it with an S7 edge and to be honest, I am a little disappointed. While the Sumsung is water resistant and has a better camera, it has worse battery life, an inferior fingerprint sensor, poorer WiFi range and worse mobile singnal reception. Considering the large price difference between the two units, I believe g7+ offers superb value!

  • When update phone G7 plus (G8) to nougat android 7?please say me.

  • Im based in Durban where can i get the Huawei G7 Plus someone please assist....

  • it actually not at opinion, my phone fell in the water and now i tried to charge it just comes on and switch off on it own and the next thing it show the battery on the screen ......but still not charging

  • Huawei promised software updates for 2 years after launching. This phone was launched in November 2015 so not crossed timeline but there is no sign of Android 7 Nougat update! Disappointed...

  • I bought it in December 2015 and yet i havent got any problem with it. Everything nice and smooth...may be you are the most unlucky one!

  • Why Huawei doesn't sell new modern phones in Myanmar? It sells old moderns only. Why?

  • When upgrade g7 plus Android7 ????

  • This is Nur-A-Alam from Bangladesh. I bought Huawei G7 Plus on November 2016.But problem is set become overheating and battery goes to drain very fast. On the other hand whenever I record video program that time overlapping showing on the mobile display. As well as I went to Huawei Boshundhara service centre on 21th January 2017.But their customer care and technicians told me that my mobile is ok no problem.Still now my mobile is in Huawei service center. In this moment I think Huawei customer care is very poor.So brother and sister please never buy Huawei mobile.

  • No they are not .the screen tech different neo ips on g7 plus shows better blacks at any angle vs conventional ips on g8.

  • where to put 2nd sim in g7

  • What a waste of high spec hardware when what you get is a stuttering user experience.

  • Bro same problem here for 20days

  • I just bought it about a month ago...its running cool but need a marshmallow update...there is no official update...

  • I have been using huawei G7 plus or maimang 4(china name), one annoying problem what i have seen is that push notifications doesnot work at all with all right settings. No matter which EM version is.This is something exists only in asia version it seems. i bought also another huawei in europe & push notification is working well. Huawei has to improve in this kind of simple things which maynot be visible while purchasing the mobiles.

  • whats the difference between g8 and g7+ ???

  • I updated my phone in marshmallow but there is no OIS option in photo...How will I konw that my OIS option is on...

  • Hi I am facing problem with my G7+ from the very beginning. While using apps or random browsing suddenly phone gets hangged and restarts automatically. This incident happens after every 2,3 days. I sent my phone to service centre twice. First they soft updated but problem was still there. So I again sent the phone but still the problem is not solved. So can you please suggest me how can I solve the problem. Thanks

  • not normal. see whether mobile data, wi-fi or GPS is kept on overnight. also there is high chance that some app might be running in background causing this. dig into the battery settings to find out. also the phone should notify you what app is causing excessive battery drain in notification panel.

  • Nope. only dual standby.

  • You can set up the g7+ to do the same . I know because I own one , in fact I am typing this reply on one .

  • Very happy with this phone . The phone looks and feels like a quality unit , has a great camera , bright display , good battery life and I have not had a single issue with its performance . Minor criticisms ; speakers could be a little louder , I would prefer that it had a separate micro SD slot so you could have dual sim AND expanded memory. I looked at a lot of units before purchasing this one and it had the best combination of looks and specs for the money . I have owned this phone for several weeks and I do not have the slightest regret regarding the purchase .

  • Very happy with this phone

  • When this phone can upgrade to v 6.0???

  • both speakers are doesn't working in my phone. is this a fault?

  • Great phone, satisfied with its features & price. Available in Bangladesh but not all colour displayed here, requesting to bring them all as many of us went shop by watching the ph colour & specification but get dissapointed when we found out the expected colour not available.

  • Very good phone. I am full satisfied with this mobile.

  • Is there OTG facility in Huawei g7 plus? TIA

  • V nice g7

  • I have used Huawei sets, great phones but there is no resell in our area where i am living,except Karachi and Lahore but the shopkeepers does not give the deserving price hence disappointed for using the sets.

  • How about honor 7? Honor 7 or g7plus???

  • Hello huawei g7 or honor 7?

  • Huawei g7 or huawei honor 7?

  • this mobile is wow , super, oh,oh,oh,active 100%

  • In my experience, Apple is no 1 on terms of quality, then 2nd is HTC. HTC not compromise with quality. Huawei is far behind from HTC.

  • a good phone in to use

  • Better to for Huawei . HTC has no future . I had 3rd class experience with HTC

  • you should go for HTC A9, I am using G& plus for last 40 days, performance is not comply with G7 Plus performance. I strongly recomand u for hyc a9 or samsung a7.

  • guess amoled display it's better than IPS.....and htc...more better than huawei....more updates

  • go with Huawei...

  • SAMSUNG A7 (2016) is your best choice! You can answer or reject calls with a single tap on the screen. No need to swipe anymore!

  • I am confused between HTC one A9 and Huawei G7 plus. I want to purchase a quality product with good outlook. Could anyone help me to choose phone either HTC one A9 or Huawei G7 plus. Thanks

  • finally i am able to unlock the SIM tray just by pulling little hard..thank god!!!

  • Very Nice Phone.Works all new High-end games.Music is also better with the DTS sound

  • Actually they just rename it from G8 to G7 plus

  • ********* Please give me suggestion *********** I want to buy the Huawei G 7 plus. Who use the phone how is the performance overall should buy the phone please give me suggestion

  • Hi all.... i am using this phone for the last 15 days...everything is ok except while i tried to remove my SIM for the first time, the tray got stuck... still now i am unable remove the SIM...does anyone can help me on the issue?....service center told me they can free it by removing the display but i m afraid to be damage my screen...

  • g7 plus is better

  • But g8 and g7+ have same things

  • Galaxy A5 was way bad in battery life . I use to took it with full charge at 8 in the morning to university , but when I return home by 5 only 10-15 % left . I am not a gamer just using facebook , music and phone calls . But my Honor 4X has far better battery life . So, I think your one needs to be rechecked again . Take it to service centre they may help .

  • I am using G7 plus set for last 20 days, I found my Galaxy A5 better performance than G7 plus although G7 plus has 3gb ram. If u want to buy you should go for G8. As far I know G7 plus only for South Asia region. But G8 for rest of the region. Therefore I hope G8 will be better than G7 plus.

  • I am using Huawei G7 Plus set for last 20 days, this set does not worth according to it's price (BDT 34990). it has 3GB RAM but I found my Samsung Galaxy A5 (2GB RAM) faster than Huawei G7 plus. it also take 3.20 hr for full charge. Actually I dont find this better than my Galaxy A5 except the display.

  • Hello everyone I want to buy a huawei phone and I want to buy huawei mate 8 but mate 8 not fit in my pocket so I look for other huawei phone and I like huawei g7+ and g8 and now I am confused bcoz both phones have same speciafications so any one can help to choose that phone which is good for games display and in performance can any one help mee to choose a good phone...

  • Oppo r7 plus

  • xiaomi mi note or huawei g7 plus?

  • otg- on the go cable

  • Please what is full word of (Otg)?

  • Hi! You dont need to install tempered glass since its already in gorilla glass.

  • All are perfect without battery life..Full charge only enough for one day.. :(

  • G7 Plus is known as G8 in the Philippines

  • This is the greatest phone i ever had. Everything is perfect but still i couldn't find tempered glass because this has curved glass. Battery life, options and camera is perfect...

  • Hello everyone. I would like to ask if the Huawei G7 Plus support USB On-The-Go or Usb Host or not? Thank you everyone.

  • Can tell me about battery, is it removable or non-removal? Though I've purchased one but not sure yet. My usages experience, except battery, others up to the mark undoubtedly. Battery is 3000mAH but performance not like that. Also the battery charging, its not fast charging, it took almost 3 hrs for full charge.

  • Very smart phone with clear camera compared to tecno phantom 5

  • Very useful comment. Thank you

  • Huawei G7 Plus.

  • i don't know

  • is it has USB host(otg)? can i conect usb pen drive to huawei g8? please reply anyone...!

  • Which one of better Huawei G7 plus or oppo R7 plus. Please some one tell me. I want to buy better one from these 2

  • Which is better Huawei G7 plus or Oppo R7 plus . Can any one suggest me. I want to buy any one of them

  • Use that , very good mobile phone . I like it

  • I bought G7+ (gold) few weeks back. I would like to share the real impression in short. It has a premium Look mostly due to 2.5D Arc glass + metal body. Good impression on display. Colors and brightness in day time even in outdoor given a good impression. Speaker is loud enough and clear. It has really a fast and accurate fingerprint sensor with some gesture recognition also sensor can use in do so much more task (show/hide some contacts albums apps can set to different fingerprint) those are convenient feature. Multi tasking is smooth here due to 3 GB RAM. No abnormal heating issues with making calls, web browsing, watching videos. (But get easily warm with camera; other than to heavy app like games - mostly that is common to others also) Very good impression on camera performance ("life has no replay" really matching here.) and headset audio quality may be due to DTS sound system. * Only displeased thing that I experience up to now is battery, 3000 mAh just enough for only one day with working screen on about 6 hours (without gaming). Overall it gives a great impression!!

  • Huawei G7 Plus is available in philippines?

  • Which is better huawei G8 vs Huaweei G7 plus?

  • Very Nice Huawei G7 Plus

  • Dearest gsmArena friendr and followers.G7 plus is an upper ascending midrange quality in design,features and qualities but too far from qualities of Ascend mate8!!?Instead of Snapdragon615,it could have used 616 for much more better results like chinse native users....But if the price is just and affordabe,it could have much wore sucess with such good qualities,especially an incredible promise of of upgrading to google android 6 Marshmallow plus FHD and almost complete WALN etc.in the crowdest upper midrangers of nowadays!!Of course gsm complete review discloses many unknowns with its perfect amazing labs!!Unfortunately Huvawi does not have a powerful strong answerable public relations to share and answer its knowledge!!!?More hopes+gsm success+Huavie more ascends but no more ups and downs++++hiding waln details in g750!!?Thanks all+Justice Rights++++much better news....

  • G7 plus is much better than p8lite go for G7 plus

  • you should but g7 plus

  • Hi, overall the g7 plus it´s better. If you want to spend little money i recommend you the p8 lite

  • Plz give me suggestion... should I buy p8 lite or g7 plus? Which one is better ?

  • Anyone knows what LTE bands do it support and where to buy?

  • This time Huawei has shown some real attitude with their brand new handset, G7 Plus. The set performance is awesome. The best part is less heat generation and unbelievable battery backup. And also the touch is so smooth and sensitive. And nevertheless, I feel good when I take the phone in my hand. Kudos to Huawei!!!

  • I bought it nearly two months. I like it so much. Awesome phone with suitable price.

  • really awesome g7+ I like thid

  • me too!!

  • Have this phone. NOT impressed. Camera is good but also temperamental, occasionally poor shots. Battery life is not great. It is very laggy. Regret this very very much. Should have waited for Mate 8.

  • The phone is pretty cool...Great design!!Very good battery life-18 hours non stop use(wifi,3G etc.)..2-3 days normal use!Sounds is very good!Fingerprint is relaible..Gorilla glass..The display is also bright even sunlight.So,I have to say that I am really impressed

  • I what this mobile

  • That means they are selling fake phones on their official online store there!

  • Same as literally all phones with the 615...

  • forget about it. In thist price u will get mi4c or oneplus one or asus zenfone 2 4/32

  • What GPU.......?

  • I mean in which countries? Because in Pakistan, it is still not available..

  • What's the difference between it and G8 ? The same .....

  • no nfc

  • Stores (almost all) around the world.

  • Sorry to say you buy a fake phone

  • It shows, "In stores now". Where and in which stores is it available?

  • Yeah, i watched many reviews & certain websites also stated G7 Plus comes with Optical Image Stabilization...but this is not stated in GSMArena...

  • The first day I use Huawei, the phone get hang! The first day my friend get the new Huawei, the screen got serious yellowish problem and Huawei refuse to change a new phone with his defect phone!

  • Good economy phone and design is par with that of apple products.

  • It has ois and RGBW sensor like p8 and in Malaysia it called g8 but other country I dont know.I saw the price are very good and will be my nextt phone I think

  • Coz most of the people just buy Sony and Samsung phones, that's why nobody send Huawei and Alcatel phone to service center...

  • why not show mw a bout Network LTE ???

  • Great finish

  • I`ll buy these Phone

  • Totally agree with you... I'm having Lenovo tablet A5500, Lenovo Yoga tablet 2 & Huawei Honor 4X... They all didn't give me any problem at all! I'm impressed...

  • I work in a Phone Service Center and they receive more Sony, Samsung and LG phones with hardware problems than ZTE Huawei and Alcatel ones, event here is better sold ZTE, Im amazed of the new chinesse brands, also Alcatel is getting better qaulity build.

  • Fingerprint with multiple functions!! nice!

  • I have the old g7 for about an year and I've found no problems with it (i don't play games). All of my frends have hTC or Samsung and almost all my friends had to send them for repairs. Now I'm getting a g7 plus or p8. And all I have to say to you is stop being phone-racist - chinese phones are phones too.

  • i dont like these chinese product it would get repair soonly so frds get some others mobile for long use. sony, moto, infocus, these all are good companies i recmd my frds

  • There is no difference. Huawei did make an announcement that the G8 will be re-branded as a G7 Plus for the international market. I guess because of it's size and in keeping in line with the Apple brand. Strange but true

  • wow this is good mobile 32 gb mamry 3gb ram i buy this one

  • Nothing different between them! Huawei is just fooling us by different name and different prices only.

  • Nice one huawei but we wont be fooled this time. Having 2 variants with the same specs witj just different names?!

  • Hahahahahahahah...... so funny only difference in name.... G8 incoded to G7 plus

  • just because g8(giba) in chinese pronounce the same as DICK

  • It has ois and RGBW like P8 so the camera are great

  • Is the box available with any back-cover like previous G7 ?

  • ahh .. it has Gorilla glass? if it is priced good, I may buy it.

  • WTF Huawei... the same damn G8 with a different name.......

  • I think adreno 405

  • what is the GPU???

  • What's the difference between G8 and G7 Plus?

  • This is the same G8 that be called in Asia Pacific and China as G7 plus.

  • This is same G8 that be called in China and Asia Pacific G7 plus.

  • What is the different between this phone and G8? Almost same only.....
