No problem of signal. But sometimes, if 4G is down, the 3G/4G switch does not work efficiently.

I'm still working out the bugs. Randomly I get very slow 4g and WiFi that isn't fixed until I start and stop airplane mode. Also it seems like I get slow WiFi when Bluetooth is enabled. Stock unrooted rom. Have a feeling it will be better after I root it and uninstall factory apps.
Before this a50s I had an Oppo F11 pro which performed MUCH better than this phone. Gave it to my wife though because I couldn't figure out how to root it.
Yesterday I got a cheap mYphone x12 to play with. It almost seems like a better phone. Even though it has a slower cpu and less ram.

Scrolling smoothness

I can't rate this because they cancel each other out. Scrolling in Pokemon: Go = AWFUL. Scrolling everywhere else = beautiful.
Majority of the time scrolling is extremely smooth. Only exception is what's already been mentioned, webpages with lots of large images/content. This stupid $60 phone feels faster than my old LG G4!
Agreed, even after loading on the apps I use daily, it's way faster than my Galaxy Note 4... I'm switching my daily for now. Even with 1gb less ram, it handles load way better and when the phone was blank, there was really minimal ram usage. With the note, with nothing additional on the phone there's already 1.5-2gb of ram in active use
Smooth as butter. Better than G2 & G4. As good as S7.
Scrolls particularly well especially for the budget hardware
I agree with everbody here, no negative issues observed

Gday first post. Came from using s5. note 5 better everywhere except no ir scanner removable battery or expandable memory.
I consider my N920A "fast" for everyday use. I can leave my device in power save mode and still play my graphic intensive games like Real Racing 3 smoothly.
Currently mine's struggling to make Captain tsubasa Dream team going....dunno why :/
after two and a half years of usage and zero factory resets .. i would say it is fast for everyday use, but the phone struggles with whatsapp groups that have huge conversations and default internet browser, it is in these two apps where i see the lag.
it also lags a little bit while google play is updating apps in the background and when i connect to WiFi after 2 to 3 hours (or longer) of being disconnected from the internet, but this lag is minimal, the real problem is whatsapp groups that have huge amount of contents.

3GB low-speed DDR3 is not fluid as flagship devices!
Multitasking is satisfying, but not perfect
Good Multitasking, competitive as Xperia X Performance, but short for a Mid-Range that "try to imitate" to Flagship phones.
Little issues with that, 3GB can satisfy most users. I can switch between apps without need to reload, even some games. Can't comlpain...

Well, multitasking is great once it's debloated.
However, 1.5gb ram isn't enough those days, but that depends from user to user. E.g. your grandmother wouldn't need more than that .
well it can multitask 3 or 4 apps at once but sometimes it gets slow when you multitask facebook and messenger
j5 prime
i use the j5 prime and multitask runs very smoothly im so happy with the phone

The P10 has the worst radios i have ever seen on any phone, forget a flagship. It it the first phone i have come across which is not even able to work on 2G in areas where the network is bad. As a result, it is an otherwise good phone which cannot perform its basic duty - to make and receive calls!

Because you bought a phone with C636 customization (Asia) and not C151 (India). there are different bands enabled so thatswhy you have so poor signal. Better read something about it, then spam threads
Sorry for spamming, but I was desperate for a solution.
Thanks a ton for the info about the roms for different countries, despite all my searching I missed it
Now please please say there's a way to flash the C151 rom on the C636 without an unlocked bootloader (and thus root) !! It would be a lifesaver for my $300
Have tried DCUnlocker lots of times but it just doesn't read the phone info. I am on the Nov patch thankfully.

you cannot rebradnd without ROOT.
You can try to use funkyhuawei to get unlock code, and unlock bootloader, then you can rebrand the phone to what ever version (there are threads about rebranding the phone).

BTW, my main complaint in the post is that the phone does not catch even gsm signals well, and gsm frequencies (900/1800) are common to China and all countries in Asia. So it would not matter which region the phone is for.
