Battery - that's the killer feature. I got the Huawei Mate 2, which is a cheap plastic build with a near-useless ROM (tons of anti-features), no upgrades (well now they claim Lollipop sometime next year), no open source for Cyanogen.
But the 4AH battery cannot be beat. I never worry about charging. If I'm tired when I go to bed, I just let my phone fall wherever. The only time it discharged was when I didn't charge it two nights in a row.
That kind of freedom of not constantly dealing with power, it's pretty great. Meanwhile, every other phone manufacturer focuses on getting through the day without charging, as if that's some amazing piece of usability.
It also shows how easy it is to make a fantastic phone. Put some parts together, and ship it. Huawei would have a top-class phone if they hadn't run their crap version of Android. And offer a separate model if you want a non-junk camera.

- stevekemp 12y agoI missed them so much I sold my Android phone and went back to an old-school nokia. These days I charge my phone once a week, or less, and I miss features far less than I expected to.
