First thing you see after you open the box is the phone resting a top the other accessories.

Eager to feel the phone, I had to remove the not so transparent bag it came with.

And of course remove the annoying but informative screen cover.

Just like the Huawei G Power, the phone comes with a transparent plastic protector which nearly adds any weight at all to the phone.

What else is in the box?

The box also contains a white USB cable, a white charger head and a black ear piece which doesn't blend with the all white concept and looks out of place.

First Impressions

Holding down the power button to put on the phone reveals the Huawei logo on the screen and the customary powered by android on the bottom of the screen.

The light weight definitely accounts for the battery power being at 2,200mAh. I am sure not expecting the phone to last for long hours on 3G network. The metallic body has a nice grip with or without the back plastic cover.

The Huawei GR3 has a strong build and with the 1.5GHz processor and 2GB RAM, the phone is already looking like a high performance device. The small screen size makes it sit well in my pocket and I am already loving it.

The gold version of the Huawei GR3 retails on Konga at ₦63,000 and  65,000 on Jumia. 

Can't wait to review the device and put it to the test with some high-end mobile applications to confirm if it's worth the buy. So be on the lookout for the full review. I will look into its workings and see if the phone’s performance matches its fine build.
