The Huawei P smart 2021 has been available from us in Germany and Austria for a few days. This is an entry-level device that is offered relatively cheaply for 229 euros. You can find out what it has to offer for this in this article.
The new Huawei P smart 2021 also comes without Google services, which means that many apps do not work properly and have to be installed indirectly, as the in-house AppGallery is not yet at the level of the Google Play Store. If you are more interested in this, we recommend our detailed one Review to the Huawei P40 Pro.
Huawei P smart 2021: Specs
The display is an IPS panel with a sufficiently sharp resolution of 2.400 x 1.080 pixels. It measures an impressive 6,67 inches and runs at 60 Hertz, which is perfectly fine for 229 euros. There is a tiny punch hole for the selfie camera in the top center.
As the ProThe processor uses the in-house Kirin 710A, together with 4 GB RAM and 128 GB flash memory, which can be expanded to up to 512 GB via a micro SD card. The P smart 2021 comes with Android 10 and above that is EMUI version 10.1.
The 5.000 mAh battery, which can be quickly charged with up to 22,5 watts, is without question the highlight of the device. The appropriate charger and the associated cable are included. Headphones are also included in the box, as the P smart 2021 has a 3,5 mm jack connection.
Finally, let's take a closer look at the cameras. The Chinese manufacturer uses 4 cameras, including a 48 megapixel (f / 1.8) main camera, an 8 megapixel (f / 2.4) 120 ° ultra-wide-angle camera and 2 sensors with 2 megapixels each and an aperture of f / 2.4 for macro shots and depth effects . The last two cameras could probably have been saved again. The front camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels (f / 2.0) and, as already mentioned, sits in a small punch hole in the display.

Hello, I bought the phone because it is cheapprowhere Huawei is today without Google Services. And I have to say: That doesn't make any sense at all. So maybe for someone who has nothing to do with Google, but if you have a Google email address and use it to log into some apps, for example, you will have difficulties. I found many apps to download, but couldn't use them due to the lack of Google Services. It's a shame - hardware seems to be fun. Haven't found a way to get Google Services on that thing yet...
Hello derkaip,
You are so right. It's such a shame, because Huawei builds smartphones that are so good in terms of hardware technology, but for many they are unfortunately unusable due to the lack of Google services.
Among other things, I use the Huawei P40 privately Pro+ and don't have any with my email Proproblem and can also use it to log into apps.
Have a look on YouTube, there are sure to be some videos on how you can install the Google services. Unfortunately, I don't know whether these methods are currently still working.
