Huawei P smart 2019 - User Reviews

  • 802.11 a-b-g-n 802.11n 5Ghz 802.11ac-Dual Band 2x2 Mimo Wi-fi hotspot Wi-fi direct

  • A great phone .......but..........The Huawei P Smart pre 2019 will NOT find any 5G wifi drone. Don't know about 2.4G but useless for decent drones.

  • I sold my LG g6 so I can buy this phone, with the lgg6 I miss water resistent, typec, nfc, wide camera, but with this phone I love the fast face unlock even in the dark, the battery lasts very long hey even after a heavy use, proccesor is fast, large screen nice resolution ppi, great camera with ai, came with Android 9 and it's definetly gonna get a android10, kirin 710 in par with the likes of p30lite Pros=battery life, fhd+, kirin710, 16mp front cam,ai scenery 64gig,2sim both support 4g,huge screen and small bezells Cons = 3gig ram,no nfc, micro USB

  • No you can't because the phone doesn't have wireless charging

  • is the Huawei P Smart 2019 Fast QI Wireless Charger Charging Pad Dock

  • then Huawei P Smart 2019 is better choise

  • Thanks, but I haven't budget to buy Honor 8, neither the store I have plafond has this phone. So I'm limited to this 2...

  • Huawei Honor 8x , wins both in all

  • Hi, Huawei P Smart 2019 or Huawei P 20 Lite? Why? Tks!

  • Huawei and Honor devices come with a advanced audio optimization system powered either by Dolby or Histen depending on the model of the device. regardless of the make it is located in Settings > Sound > right above the More sound settings. Within them you will find along side a equalizer, several profiles and options to tweak each in accordance to the headset you are using. Also dont forget that the phones prompt you for ear protection - if you tap ok it will be set to lower sound so make sure you tap cancel if you like loud music, also you can try some third party apps - Selenium or NRG Player are free and come with 11 band equalizer and preamp so you can increase the sound and quality.

  • It's due to customers wanting it, micro usb so more available. I'm for one am happy because the amount of times my friends didn't have a type c charger for my OP3 and had to go with no power.

  • It still has a Micro USB port, Huawei never gon care about their budget phones, will they?

  • Yes

  • Yes

  • Yes; Huawei confirmed it

  • The phone is great but the only bad thing is the headphones Jack. I got pretty good headphones and they are quiet so if you like to listen to music regulary other than that its a great device.

  • is it nano-sim?

  • I have it and my cellphone is really cool I think even better than your cellphone.

  • For sure.

  • At this price it is normal to have minuses, low quality cameras, 3gb plastic frame construction, lack of sensors, brightness etc and I also went over the fact that it has usb 2.0, but over the sound quality I could not pass, the sound is absolutely horrible, it is the worst sound I've heard on a phone, I give it back without comments, a plus for the processor and display the rest is cheap.

  • Both have good quality, go for P smart 2019. Slightly better.

  • Both are good, both have a good price, choose which one you want. I'm currently using a Mate 20 Pro and i'm very pleased with it. Planning to get a P30 Pro or P30 Lite.

  • My uncle is getting in the next period one of these phones and i'm super excited to see how powerful it is.

  • P smart 2019 or P20 Lite?

  • Something that i forgot to mention! The quality of the screen is breathtaking, the quality of the cameras are simply amazing, and the speed that the phone unlocks with the finger print sensor is really amazing. An excellent phone.

  • Amazing phone, top performance and blazing fast!! the quality is really awesome, battery life the best i have ever seen. Glad to have it, and the price is really unmatched.

  • advantage for Honor 8x 1= camera 20mpx 2= gyroscope 3= battery 3750mah 4= display 6.5'' + COF chip on flex + corning gorilla glass 3 5= LTE Cat 12 6= USB- on-the-go 7= fast charging 10w = 1% charge per 1 min

  • Hi i like to bye Psmart 2019 or Honor 8x who is better ?

  • Is it going to receive update to Android "Q"?

  • Samsung galaxy A20e or huawei p smart 2019 I'm not an expert in this so I need to know if i should buy the p smart and take the risk of use the new os (hongmeng or ark os) or i "play safe" and i buy the galaxy a20e . Atention: the huawei p smart is better than galaxy a20e ( in my opinion) Thanks

  • i have p smart and it is a great phone, but if someone offer me to change for their A40 I would go for it

  • guys does this phone have 24-bit/192kHz audio?

  • P smart or Samsung A40?

  • P smarty!

  • Which one is better Samsung Galaxy A20e or Huawei pSmart 2019?

  • P30 lite

  • i like

  • P 30 Lite is better then this

  • Huawei P smart 2019 or P 30 LTE??which is better??

  • I have the stupid dim you are talking about. Ive been trying to fix it for 1 month but it seems impossible. Im worried its a hardware problem. I dont know what to do. Its so annoying. Whenever i go to youtube there is this stupid flickery dimming thing going on. Its hard to explain. Maybe someone can help me?

  • How does this guy have problems? I play game son phones with MT6580, MT6737, MT6739 & MT6750 this phone should have no issue! D:

  • I have being unable to lock my phone with d finger print

  • Go to battery option then enable performance mode ...then play pubg without any lag on hd settings

  • Go to battery option then enable performance mode ...then play pubg without any lag on hd settings

  • 1. You berrely can play this game on this phone, after some time heating and unbelievable lag will say hello to you 2. This is not gaming phone. 3. Price 4price what you want from 200euros phone? Be happy her can run this game. 5. Try FreeFire, Ultra setting no LAG. 6. Buy more expencive phone for gaming.

  • Same here. I sent my phone to repair center and they changed the whole front side of the phone. 🙄 So I asked them to give me a new one and they did. After 4 days of using it, I see that it has the same lag, but this one is much stable so I won't change it for sure

  • Overall it is a quite good phone but I am extremely frustrated with one thing: I can't play pubg mobile on this phone. It constantly crashes and freezes. I don't know why but it should't be like this.

  • I welcome your comment

  • I will buy Huawei P smart z when he will release maybe in june

  • Hi. Aware of the efforts of HuaweiIf you continue to do the same, be sure to finally seize Samsung by the end of 2020. Investing among the fullscreen categories with flagships is one hundred percent the biggest weapon to defeat Samsung. I said everywhere and I still say that Huawei will have a spectacular competition for the first or second year of world-class sales. Huawei's executives and hard-working people know that the progress you make is that Samsung officials do not sleep at night.Keep up your effort

  • I know budy, i just meke joke.

  • 2018

  • Not even close ... P Smart is 1 million times better than G510

  • But the P20 lite was only released in April 2019?

  • p smart obviously

  • Bad front camera. Did not liked. Day its ok, but with low light, forget it :(

  • Beautiful and very correct mobile.

  • I wonder wich one to buy Huawei P smart 2019 or Huawei Ascend G510 !

  • Briliant for his price. Just small things like no USB-C and no quick charging. Scrren is big and bright, no lags on daily basics and some gaming, ofcource you cant do a lot of multitasking whit it

  • They compromised the screen, it cracks so easy, fell once and broke

  • How is ram management with 3gb variant

  • own a p20 lite, never used a p smart but after 7 months my p20 lite is extremely good and i couldnt be happier with it

  • I own a P9 Lite and thinking of this one to upgrade. I am using the phone mainly for HEAVY web browsing, emails and a lot of messaging. No games and few photos only. Mainly business use. Is the performance of this phone efficient or it has lags?? Also I find the Huawei P20 with $100 euro higher cost. Is it worth to pay the difference for the use I need it? Thanks a lot!

  • P smart 2019 is a good phone 2 drawbacks: 1. Strange lag in keyboard either swift or google. 2. Somewhat dim screen although acceptable in sun light.

  • Got it today after a short research and I'm absolutely stunned about how good it is at 215€. In the past I've had a lot of phones but there's nothing like this at this price. Good job Huawei ! Note* 1/10 (1 is bad/10 is awesome), please take advice that this unit costs only 215€ and cannot be compared with flagships. *Design 9/10 *Battery (fast charge) 8/10 *Display 8/10 *Rear camera 7/10 *Front camera 7/10 *CPU 7/10 *GPU 8/10 *RAM 6/10 *STORAGE 7/10 *Loudspeaker 7/10 *Call quality 9/10 *Materials 8/10 *Packaging 8/10 Phone can handle some good games in a decent manner but don't expect to play PUBG for example at full details....

  • '' Huawei P 20 Lite'' is with older chipset , go for ''Huawei P smart 2019'' or better ''Honor 8x'' 6.5'' display- cornning gorilla glass protected, LTE Cat 12, 20 mpx Camera, USB on the go, 3750mah battery, your choise.

  • Should I buy this one or the p20 lite? I want an opinion from people that actually have this devices long term. I want the best phone out of all specifications! Please help me!

  • Good phone Screen resolution is good but brightness is low Smooth with little lags Strange problem is SwiftKey board lag and delay which is disappointing

  • the only thing that prevents is the higher earnings of the money from the mobile in terms of only one chip. remember.

  • in the future can be a lot more, for example, the mobile phones will not exist anymore , so you will install a chip in the head and only with the thought that you will see a hologram in front of you and you will be connected with whom you want

  • They just copied apple lightning cable style in mirror style and remember the future is wireless charging.

  • Modify the tip of the chord and call it C type. Make all the others not fit anymore. Great for business. I say two years there will be a D type and we'll do it again

  • Buy screen protector

  • Does the Huawei P smart have Gorilla Glass ?. Why does this phone scratch so easily and what can I do about it?. Thanks.

  • I am comparing this phone to the original Huawei P Smart. This new one has better screen, better camera, more internal memory, latest android OS,battery is stronger. However it has 2 flaws: 1. The backside looks cheap compared to the original. Its made from plastic, while original has aluminium backside. 2. Original has stronger wifi antena, and can connect from places further from the router than this 2019 version.

  • Redmi note 7 is better

  • redmi note 7 or huawei p smart 2019 ?

  • go for nokia,, has better chipset, 4GB ram vs 3GB, will last longer, and receive longer updates..

  • lol turn of auto brightness ( next to the screen brightness bar there is a tickbox labeled auto)

  • Really? Micro USB 2 in 2019 ????

  • Nokia 7.1 or Huawei P smart 2019? I see in comments below there are some complains on Nokia 7.1. But advantage of Nokia 7.1 is Android One from my point of view. Thanks for help.

  • Help please the brightness of the phone dims on its own to very dim. Thanks

  • Any one knows about psmart+ 2019 it comes with trible cameras huawei realised it in their website any one knows abot the screen is it ltps or ips?and is ther an option for 4 gb of ram

  • After long documentaries about Huawei, I decided to buy a Huawei P Smart 2019 smartphone more for the Kirin processor it comes with, but also for the 64GB internal memory it has. Okay, only 55 GB usable. I have to tell you that I am a fan of Samsung, so far only using Samsung phones. Until today when I bought my first Huawei and I do not regret the pass that I did. Below I want to tell you my first impression of the phone on the first day of use. *Content of the package: In the box you will find the instructions for using the phone, a small book that you need a magnifying glass to read and which is heavier than the phone itself. It's not the phone as hard as that instruction book. In addition, you find the USB cable, charger, sim card and SD card, warranty,headphoned *First impression: The phone is really great, the screen is generous, beautifully lit and I like that you can use it very easily with one hand without having to activate "one-handed use" option that I had on my old Samsung phone with Android 8 Oreo. Huawei does not know if she has this option and I do not think it's necessary because I tell you from my own experience, there's no need for this feature on this phone. At least I do not need it. The Huawei P Smart 2019 fingerprint sensor responds quickly to the touch but is not as sure about the security of the device (I'll tell you below). The pictures are really beautiful, they do not lock in applications, they do not have a lag, the sound is even strong in both the helmet and the loudspeaker. Regarding audio, what I do not like is the "music" app that comes preinstalled on your phone. The application seems to me a little bit bad because there is no equalizer or something to set the bass. And when you download a Bass Booster app from Play Store, you can not use the music player at the same time as playing the music for several seconds at the "Bass Booster" setting, then the music application disables that setting and you must go back to Bass Booster app, set it up, then the music application turns off again. I have refused to use the Music pre-installed app on my phone in favor of a music player that I have paid for. As for gaming all I can say is that I installed Real Racing 3 and PUBG Mobile, the latter to test my performance. The Huawei P Smart 2019 bought it for Real Racing 3. * Real Racing 3 runs smoothly on HIGH graphics. The extra-high graphics do not come into play and the message "The application does not respond." It has not happened to heat the phone too hard by playing this game on the graphics set to high. Demo video here youtu.be/JWFzwvW63Do * The PUBG Mobile game runs up to HD resolution and occasional lag. The bad part that using this graphics makes the phone become iron because the CPU is very hot. Demo video here youtu.be/x93ULRHM2eA ABOUT ASPHALT 9: I tried to download it from Play Store and there is no download. When using "Asphalt 9" search, I only find Asphalt 8 or similar applications. So I do not know how some people say on youtube that they played Asphalt 9 on this phone because it does not exist for download. Calling quality is even WAW. In the loudspeaker I hear, and the interlocutor hears me too. As far as I know, the Huawei P Smart 2019 offers two microphones. AnTuTu Test: Demo video you can see here youtu.be/s9AlWpFGzKA Cons: Does not have Gorilla Glass and is completely plastic. The fingerprint sensor does not provide complete safety to the device. For example, I set the ID with my fingerprint, then I handed my girlfriend's phone and my mom's fingerprint scanner. The phone also unlocks the fingerprint of other people. I set the fingerprint ID with my right hand finger, and the other people I gave them to test the fingerprint sensor unlocked the device with the left hand ring finger or the "middle" finger on the right hand. So the fingerprint sensor does not provide 100% safety, especially if you also have Smart Lock enabled.

  • I totally agree, had the Nokia 7.1 before but after problems and awful sound and call quality I got this phone instead. Feels a lot better and call quality is great on this! Would recommend this over many phones that cost a lot more.

  • P smart

  • Amazing phone! For such price there are no better phone, just be sure. Good screen with good angle view, pure sound and hi quality cameras, and for the end fast processor with a similar to Snap 660. Just check comparison test with Redmi Note 7, which is more expensive. I think Huawei made amazing phone for low cost level.

  • Kirin 710 is somewhere between SD636 and SD660. SD660 is better.

  • I found that Huawei made stupid shortcut for android. Now you CAN NOT turn of GPS and Google positioning. Only the choise is everything is off or everything is on (and wasting battery).

  • I would go for the p smart 2019 personally as I would consider it a more up to date p20 lite as it has a newer chipset and has ai camera which guarantees you good photos, it also has a newer android version.

  • the kirin 710 has a similar performance to the snapdragon 660 so it will be a good experience but don't expect flagship performance. if im not mistaken it would be similar to a 2015-2016 flagship in performance

  • P Smart 2019 or the P20 Lite??? I can upgrade in a few days and these are my choices.

  • I have infra-red on my phone and i'm using it for tv, ac and bunch of other stuff so its not useless

  • Will the phone last for longer perspective or will it be puggy and laggy after few months?

  • useless feature today.

  • Why aren't this manufactures have Infra-red on their phones

  • Xiaomi mi A2 lite has android one hence more frequent software updates.

  • Is Huawei keeping up their devices with monthly security updates? Thank you for reply

  • I just buy Huawei P smart 2019 and it's perfect i suggest you to choose Huawei.

  • I'd pick the P Smart 2019 for the bigger screen, thinner body, lighter, waterdrop notch and newer version of android. The only drawback is worse battery life compared to the Mi A2 Lite, but most heavy users carry a powerbank anyway.

  • Please i need help i want to buy new smartphone which one do you recommend Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite or Huawei P Smart 2019?

  • this a very good phone beating almost every samsung phone semi design phones if u know what i mean(**,)

  • people are talking shit about a phone they havent used.. The phone is almost perfect... Design, screen and quality is amazing for the price. Yes, its olastic but imo it feels nice in hands. only bad thing I can say is that cameras arent reallygood, but aint bad either. It's average for the price. Baterry is kinda okay, couldve been better, for average users it will be good ' , for heavy ones not so much..

  • having a Huawei phone is like being in Hawaii on holiday!!!!

  • plastic (not great) and no protection (Gorilla glass) for the screen...this is a cheap phone made to look expensive, no thanks!!!!!!!

  • Yep

  • Do you know what Αι γαμί&#96­2; means?

  • listen apparently, you don't have a clue about mobiles. secondly what the hell you're talking thirdly you need some spell correction, u macedonian batty boy

  • Yes it's at the bottom of the display, slightly offset to the left.

  • 250USD$, not even worth that price. It got premiered in my country Macedonia, but it's still not worth it. Imo, Redmi Note 7 is far far better than this for price and performance. Even the Honor 8X is far better than this,yet built by the same company. Either ways, this phone will sell hot (even beat the Redmi Note 7)in my country, for some weird unknown reasons. People just like to stick with Huawei, rather than Xiaomi, even tho Xiaomi offers more for less.

  • USB 2.0 in 2019 ?! WTF!!!

  • Led notification ?

  • Good looking phone, smooth running.

  • xiaomi note 7 pro copy

  • Honor 10 lite is cheaper and has better selfie camera

  • p dumb? oh but its fine for samsung to bring out something like a j4 plus or a j6 plus which are physically bigger and weaker powered phones with a lower battery capacity and cost around the same and they dont have android pie yet ?? lol

  • Honer 10 lite

  • For shure the p smart its overall beter

  • So... If it's so bad maybe a suggestion for a better device with the same price?

  • Compare a photo from this "13 MP" camera to that of a Samsung from 2015. Huawei is ditchinnggg cameras on phones that aren't premium

  • Because this is the Mid Tier device.

  • this or the honor 10 lite? Which one has the better design and camera? the rest looks pretty similar !

  • Why isn't Huawei using Usb-C

  • the only regret with recent huawei phones that only premium comes with a USB-C.

  • So I got this phone yesterday and I must tell you it's quite good for the price. here are a few things that I liked: -good display -the battery even with no fast charging it charges the phone quite fast -performance is very good at browsing, youtube, twitch tv and even gaming -the camera is good enough -NFC for paying and easy connecting with other devices like a camera or headphones For the money I spend (236 Euro) and getting Android 9.0 out of the box is worth it. I'll give it 8/10.

  • huawei p20 pro cost in austria 555 Euro

  • Do you know that p20 pro costs 3-4 times the price of this phone?

  • Almost everything, from prehistoric microusb which should never existed in the first place, to no fast charging or wireless one, or LCD display. Price and battery are decent so NOT EVERYTHING. Otherwise add more cash and buy p20 pro

  • 250 is too much for this smartphone. Huawei is pricing thier devices higher and higher. Same strategy as Ssmsung had .

  • What's wrong with this phone ?

  • Does it have fast battery charge?

  • Nokia 7.1 is the one for you

  • I just want a proper mid-range with nfc, usb c, no more than 5.84". Is. It. That. Hard?

  • Another budget meal, for nova 3i

  • Just saying if you don't like it, you don't need to buy it. It is good for the price. Lot's of the iPhones have had this capacity, even the P20 lite doesn't which was more expensive than this at launch. With the camera, don't expect some top notch quality for a phone this price. If you want a good camera. Get a more expensive one. Overall it still has some nice features for the price.

  • Iphone xs have 12MP Samsung note have 12 MP Google pixel 3 have 12MP Only huawei mate 20 pro have 48 MP So who cares ? The bad thing about the camera is the f2.2 apertue which seems bad at 2019

  • 13 MP ?! Really, Huawei ??

  • I think that p smart will be cheaper

  • Not really

  • why it is so expensive when you compare it with honor 10 lite ? less feature and more price ?!

  • I guess it's cheaper Kirin 710 device , they downgrade specs as well as price

  • there is nothing new here.. i think its downgrade 3400 mah? really?

  • Is it haw good fast 2g-4g internet reception to pc?

  • it will be available in all country or just in specific country?? waiting for the unboxing and some review when they lunch it

  • Huawei, 2019 coming soon, we are willing to pay more extra money for the USB type-CCCCC!

  • Not really smart.

  • I like that it still has a jack, but the battery is not as big as I had hoped... :s

  • And people complain about rumor lol

  • This is the first time someone on GSMArena had ever mentioned about that lol

  • Where is WiFi abgn+Ac dual band chipset?This is a joke...,And Type-C!?

  • ohh no. again hybrid sim, why? I need dedicated sim card slot with dual sim

  • Who makes beter phones Huawei or LG compenents, build quality, protection. I think 200 is something premium. I dont want another waisted phone.

  • And where is the Type -C?

  • Catherine I always say it... you are great!

  • Silikon kirin processor?snapdragon is a legend proccessor in android phone today..

  • Rumors aren't always 100% accurate though

  • What P smart is this who doesn't even have type C port.

  • Stupid junk. What the hell they found in that stupid 2.2 aperture camera? Its so boring with huawei with same shit in new colors.

  • It may still be rumored. But it only has a tiny bit of improvement from the previous PSmart. Why??

  • With that camera? How I wish it would not be the same camera they used in PSmart + (nova 3i) . Good in daylight but disappointing in lowlight.

  • WOW with that battery, more like P Dumb...

  • its another usb charger ?? not type-c
