    Is huawei p smart 2018 a good phone?

    I will say that some corners have been cut on the performance, but not by anywhere near as much as I would have expected. The Huawei P Smart comes equipped with the HiSilicon Kirin 659 processor and 3GB of RAM. In real world performance, I've found this setup to be excellent for smooth operation, say, 90% of the time.
