Huawei GR5 Now Available In Canada

Huawei has officially released its first non-terrible smartphone here in Canada, the GR5 (no, I’m not saying the 6P is terrible, but it’s not really Huawei’s).  Here’s a rundown of the specs:

• 5.5″ 1080p display
• Snapdragon 616
• 2GB of RAM
• 16GB of expandable storage
  • 3000 mAh battery
• 13MP camera
• 5MP front facing camera

The device, which is now available at both Rogers and Fido, will hopefully usher in a new era of Huawei devices available here in Canada.  Historically, Huawei has only sent their entry level devices to North America, devices that are just not fun to use.  But Huawei had committed to bringing some of their higher end stuff to North America and the GR5 definitely fits the bill.  No, it’s not a flagship caliber phone but it’s a solid mid ranger at a solid price.
