The Huawei P Smart is a smart choice if you're after an affordable handset with a big 18:9 display, but you can get better performance and photos elsewhere.

This lower price point means that for a lot of people a Huawei phone is now in their price range whereas before they were something to dream of.It is 14.7x7x.7cm and weighs 144 grams. The viewable screen is 12.7x6.5cm which gives the notional diagonal...

How exactly is the Huawei P Smart smart? Why did we not think of that? Choosing 'smart' as name for a smartphone is just as in-your-face as naming a soccer team 'the team'. And it inadvertently raises the question: what exactly does 'smart' really...

Reviewing the Honor 9 Lite, I said it set the new high bar for the £200 price point. That makes it a tough handset to beat, and the Huawei P Smart doesn't quite manage it: Huawei's budget brand definitely takes the plaudits in this particular...

With a decent 18:9 screen, the P Smart is a fine Android phone that should appeal to anyone looking for a cheap contract phone. However, the fact it's so similar to the Honor 9 Lite (which costs £30 less when bought SIM-free) makes it hard to recommend,...

The Huawei P Smart is a good way to get an ultra-wide 18:9 screen phone at a sensible price, particularly as the budget Moto range is still stuck with 16:9 displays.There are the usual compromises with camera quality and raw power at this price, and the...

Right, sit down people. I need to talk to you. How many of you have a Samsung Galaxy? How many of you have a Galaxy S8?Well, if you break the screen on that, you're facing a bill of over £240. Sometimes more. If you have the Galaxy S7 Edge then it...

The Huawei P Smart is very similar to recent Honor handsets, meaning that it feels all too familiar. However, just as we loved those Honors, the P Smart also proves itself a great value smartphone, packing some sleek design, decent camera tech, awesome...
