Was it at flagship level when released?
Never thought it was or is personally.
In no way is it at flagship level currently.
Looks good of course.
I think the way it looked dazzled buyers who overlooked things the phone didn't have.
When I unboxed mine I was very impressed...with the look of it.
Camera with it's features along with EMUI 4 were sweet at first.
Honor then decided to turn a great phone into a good phone.
The phone fell from grace with me rather quickly due to a glitch or two...then came EMUI 5
