          Had used it for around two years. In the end, the motherboard was damaged for no reason :(
          And the replacement would cost around 200 RMB in China. I would be honest that this is the worst Huawei phone I've ever used. Very lagging, bad blurry BS camera. I far love the previous version much better -- The Gentle Giant: Huawei Ascend Mate. It has nice performance with its only 2GB RAM, nice display, and outstanding vivid camera with its HDR!

              I bought a Mt2-l05 phone. AND I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ANY OF THE GOOD APPS!
              I spent hours on the phone with Echo Dot support trying to install my echo dot. I COULD NOT DO IT FROM MY PHONE!
              And I wont attempt to install new ois.
              If I had known this I NEVER would have bought a Huawei. In Summary - (There is only one way to say this) My Mt2-l05 phone is a complete piece of shit!

                    It is only the camera which is not sharp. Very fast and smooth on lollipop.
                    Battery timing is ok.

                        Bought mine August 2015, my only problem is that it stops on music playback. That is very, very annoying. Otherwise I love it. Really no other problems

                          Hi guys, I'm in China right now, bought the phone on August 2016, but I had no weird problems like you guys are mentioning on the comments.

                          The only problem is ... It get freezing very easily! I don't know why, but I always need to refresh my phone to make it back to normal. Only need to open 3-5 apps to make it freezing, totally disappointed.

                          Plus, there is also a problem with the camera, it get blurry very easily, unlike it's little brother (Huawei Ascend MATE 1st gen.) which has an only 8MP Camera but totally unbeatable if you compare it with most phones nowadays.

                          Hope anyone could tell me how to solve this freezing problem. I uninstalled the apps I don't used but still get the same problem after opening several apps.

                            Bought mine - used - from an engineer friend who had purchased two.

                            The 6-inch screen is massive! Great for internetting (or for gaming - tho, i'm not a gamer).

                            Hardly anything bad to say about this besides it being much larger than most phones to where it doesn't fit in a front pocket or small 'cellphone' pocket found in cargo shorts/pants.
                            Even though it has the Gorilla Glass display, I don't like to sit on it while it's in my back pocket.
                            Unlike some, have had NO issues with it suddenly going into airplane mode (or any other settings). My experience has been that settings have been rock solid.

                            Battery life is also massive - using FB, Instagram, Viber & Waze WILL cause it to deplete a bit, but still much better than my previous LG G90 and both HTC phones before that.

                            Guess the worst thing I can say about this Ascend Mate 2 is that (in my experience), the camera isn't as good as I'd hoped. Even though the touch focus tells me it's good-to-go, I still get slightly out-of-focus photos. That said, the colors are still pretty good. Maybe it's me (maybe I need to cut down on the caffeine?)
                            The out-of-the-box Android 4.3 has also been pretty rock solid - though I should probably upgrade.
                            Haven't used the Bluetooth, so I can't comment on that.

                              When using a smart case, this phone auto answers calls after one ring. Is there a way to prevent that... without disabling the "window" feature?

                                  Resets to airplane mode very often causing lost calls. Also resets to mute causing non-receipt of incoming calls. Why?
