Huawei GR5 2017 32 GB
![]() | Outdated Product A smartphone in metal uniforms would be an unremarkable representative of the middle class, if not for its highlight — a dual main camera. The prerogative in photo and video shooting is given exclusively to the 12-megapixel first “eye”, and the second one with a resolution of 2 MP is involved in measuring the depth of field of the frame to create a more effective background blur (software bokeh). The selfie camera with "improvers" of the skin of the face has a resolution of 8 MP. The middle class of Huawei GR5 2017 is confirmed by the characteristic hardware — a bunch of its own HiSilicon Kirin 655 chip and 3 GB of RAM handles well with the tasks assigned to it. For the autonomous operation of the mobile gadget, the answer is a battery with a capacity of 3340 mAh. And as an OS, the smartph...one uses Android 6.0, changed beyond recognition by the proprietary Emotion UI shell. E-Catalog uses affiliate links compensated by our partners. |

Metal is stronger than glass
If you prefer metal smartphones over glass ones, consider the Huawei GR5 2017. With its processor (Kirin 655), RAM size (3 GB), and lack of an oleophobic screen coating (what a bother), it resembles its glass counterpart, the P8 Lite 2017. However, the display diagonal is slightly larger (5.5 inches), the built-in flash memory is somewhat more capacious (32 GB), and the battery lasts longer (3340 mAh).
Sharp eye
The main advantage of the GR5 2017 is its dual rear camera. Among smartphones from world-renowned brands, the GR5 2017 is the most affordable "two-eyed" option. The first camera has a 12 MP resolution and is based on Huawei engineers' favorite Sony IMX 286 sensor (1/2.9"). Thankfully, they have refined it to perfection through software. The second camera is just 2 MP, but its sole task is to measure the depth of field in a shot, allowing for a blurred background (creating a kind of software bokeh effect). The front selfie camera, with its 8 MP, delivers sharp images only in good lighting.
Delay in updating
For some reason, the GR5 2017 is sold with the now outdated Android 6.0 OS, while its younger sibling, the P8 Lite 2017, has already received an update to 7.0. However, behind the brand's Emotion UI interface, the differences between various Android versions are hard to notice. The target audience for the Huawei GR5 2017 is mobile photography enthusiasts who can fully appreciate the advantages of the dual camera.
