Huawei Gr3 2017 Black |
It is so stunningly beautiful! with its crystalized look because of its 2.5D dual glass sandwiching chroma (polycarbonate plastic) frame in premium colors of black and gold. It is indeed one of most eye-catching smartphones by Huawei that feels so solid, well made and handy. Its size is just right that comfortably sits in your hand and can be easily put in your pocket. Surprising enough with its premium materials, Huawei Gr3 is very light and so might think it is not with you.

GR3 2017 Antutu Benchmark |
No Dual cam nor Bokeh feature here as Gr3 2017 packs only a single rear camera at 12MP but it is BSI as well as has 1.25μm Large Pixel Size with 5P Lens. Per EXIF of outputs, it is revealed that aperture size is at f/2.2. Samples were provided by good friend Eugie Entera! Big Shout out to you buddy!
Daylight and Indoor shots |
Here is a Night shot. This is Auto by the way and oddly enough it went for a 13.3 sec shutter speed. Guess Huawei needs to adjust its auto algorithms, good thing it did'nt turn out blurry. Sensor is sensitive as you can see the lens flare produced. This is good as you will get better indoor and low light.
Pattern Shots are also good with clear geometric lines and shapes. Even at night, it can capture colors of wild flowers and green lawn. |
Light Painting Mode - Light Trails and Silky Water Mode |
Selfie! Nice... Right? lol
As expected Huawei new device has better optics. Offers Professional mode for more creative control (ISO 100-1600, Shutter Speed up to 8 secs and Manual Focus) and other modes like Light painting mode that includes Tail Light trails, Light Grafitti, Silky water and Star Track that lets you create shots you thought might not be possible on a mobile phone. For Video Recording Full HD 1080p at 16:9 aspect ratio.
At the back lies the circular fingerprint sensor for personalized security to keep prying eyes from using your smartphone.
As for connectivity it comes regular set as WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS. This is a Dual Sim Dual Standby Handset BUT if you need more storage then you need to make use of the other sim slot for MicroSD.
