Huawei Ascend G525 Review

Score: 56.7 / 100

Huawei Ascend G525 is an interesting Android cellphone, packing a 1.2 gigahertz Quad-Core CPU, a 4.5-inches touch-screen, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera. But let's get into a bit more detail.

Huawei decided to equip this device using an exceptional Quad-Core processing unit speeding at 1200 MHz, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro Play MSM8225Q system chip with only 1 GB RAM memory which is a bit disappointing comparing with this cellphone's awesome processor. Helping with graphic intensive applications, this cellphone also counts with an Adreno 203 graphics processing unit ticking at 245 megahertz. This phone comes with a passable 4 GB internal memory, which is adequate for most users considering that it also has a slot for an SD memory card .

This phone is available in a lot of colors: black, yellow, blue and white. This phone is very slim, with a thickness of just 0.39 inches. Huawei appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 5.47 oz phone.

The Huawei Ascend G525 is equipped with a very good 960 x 540 4.5" display, giving this phone a very good graphic quality. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

The Huawei Ascend G525 provides WiFi capability (and it can be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G connectivity, over HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. The Huawei Ascend G525 has 2 SIM cards so it's able to use 2 different carriers or phone numbers in the same phone.

This device features two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front camera. The camera also counts with auto-focus and geo tagging.

This cellphone also features a few nice characteristics as Bluetooth, GPS Geolocation and Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Huawei Ascend G525 counts with a medium 1700 mAh battery, which is quite low for a demanding cellphone like this. According to Huawei, the Huawei Ascend G525 has an estimated 340 hs stand by time and a 5.8 hs talk time.

Huawei is offering this device for $ 155, which is very expensive for comparing with similar phones. This cellphone is probably a great option for you no matter if you need a device for gaming or want it majorly for social networks and internet browsing.
