What's in the box?
The Huawei G Power comes in eye-catching red boxing sealed on both edges
It's a minor annoyance having to peel off the sealing on both edges but it's probably worth it because ...
Coming from a bigger 6-inch device, the Huawei G Power initially appears small to me till I'm reminded it is actually a standard 5-inch device.
Now if we could just take off that nylon wrap...
There you have the 5MP front camera and speakers. The phone is packaged with a plastic protector which makes it feel bulky on initial handling. I'm not sure why they couldn't package the protector separately.
You'll find other usual suspects in the box
The power and volume buttons are to the right of the device
The charging port and external speakers are at the bottom

The earphone jack is all alone at the top edge
At the back, you'll find the 13MP camera and flash
I'm already starting to find that plastic protector annoying.
I'm just gonna take it off ..
You want to take extra care opening the back cover (from the left edge, with phone facing down)
Make sure you push it up all the way to the top before pulling off the back cover
Inside, you'll find the Dual SIM slots, memory card slot and (non-removable) battery
Insert your SIMs and memory card and dazall. All that's left is to setup the phone
First Impressions
"The Huawei G Power is pretty neat" is most of what I can say for now. I've only had it for a few hours. Judging by the specs, I expect it to run pretty smoothly and have solid battery life. It does feel a bit bulky though. That's a price to pay for the big battery.
The Huawei G Power comes in White, Black and Gold and retails exclusively on Jumia for ₦46,500.
