I currently have a Moto G (3rd Gen) model with XenonHD 7.1.1 firmware. I was interested in the P9 Lite 3GB RAM model as an upgrade from this phone. What do you think? Is it worth the upgrade? Btw I am planning to root/flash the firmware that comes with it anyway, but what are you thoughts overall? Hardware? Software?

P9 lite is better at performance than P8 lite 2017

Well, the development strength is nowhere near a Qualcomm device, but I see OpenKirin and other people trying to get things going which is very nice. Maybe more android enthusiasts will buy Huawei, maybe Huawei will start to provide source code when it's needed...

I love the design of the phone, the hardware is OK, the only thing that disappoints me is that they released a model with 2GB RAM which was handed to carriers, so if you got the P9 Lite from a carrier like me you won't get that extra 1GB RAM which is a pretty huge deal if you ask me. Other than that, I'm satisfied with it.

Will I buy Huawei again? If they become more open sourced maybe... The design is nice, the hardware is good, the only thing they should be improving is the software and developer relations.

Get the Redmi Note 4 3GB(snapdragon not mtk). Performance is good, and plenty of roms. Go check xda of rn4 right now

I learned how much I like my P9 Lite when it was stolen :crying:

Yes, I think it is worth the upgrade The hardware is good, EMUI comes with too much bloatware in my opinion - some camera features and the backup app are great though. The flashing process can be quirky - unfortunately the use of last resort DC Phoenix comes with charges.

Low price, nice features phone!

P9 lite is a great device with battery and performance at a great price.
However, you can go for HONOR 5C. It's similar to p9 lite in terms of specs.
The difference between those 2 is Honor 5c having a metal body.

The software is just something that really ruins this phone and it's potential

Freezes most of the time when using any app, camera takes forever to load. Using stock rom, not rooted.

I think you have a serious problem. I own p9 lite 2017 and it's smooth and fluid. Overal beeter then other brands for the same budget

Don't buy a huawei phone at all.

I absolutely love my original P9 lite, i have it for almost 3 yrs now and its really one of the best phones i've experienced (99,99% bug/glitch/error free).. Battery life is still amazing getting me trough a whole day and still performs fast and "fluid" even after 3 yrs and the screen quality is beautiful and top notch. I find it funny that this phone has all the great features, more than the newest generation smartphones these days.. features like FM Radio, NFC, 3.5 headphone-jack, excellent fingerprint reader etc etc
