Huawei Ascend Y511 Review

Score: 52.5 / 100

Huawei Ascend Y511 is a decent quality Android cellphone, counting with a 4.5-inches multi-touch display, a high performance 1300 MHz Dual-Core processor, a 3 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

Huawei equipped this cellphone with a MediaTek MT6572 chip, holding a very powerful 1.3 GHz Dual-Core processor with only 512 MB of RAM which is a little low for a cellphone this good. Graphic intensive games and applications often eats lots of processing time, so the Huawei Ascend Y511 counts with an extra ARM Mali-400 graphic processing unit clocking at 500 MHz to help the CPU with those tasks.

This cellphone is thin, while it's not close to being one of the thinnest phones currently available, with a thickness of 0.41". This phone is for sale in 2 colors, black and white. Apparently Huawei forgot about weight optimization in this 5.29 ounces cellphone.

The Huawei Ascend Y511 has two cameras, a 3 megapixels back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera. It is also able to film HD 1280x720 videos.

Huawei equipped this phone with a very good 4.5-inches screen, and a resolution of 854 x 480 , providing this phone with a very nice image quality.

This phone packs a medium 1730 mAh replaceable battery providing this phone with a not very long battery duration. According to Huawei, this cellphone has a reported talk time of 5.2 hs and a stand by time of 310 hs.

This phone includes wifi capability (although it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (HSPA+) connectivity, which is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and fast 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone supports dual SIM cards so it's able to use two different phone lines in the same device.

This phone also features a couple of interesting features like Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Huawei is selling this phone for 155 dollars, which is a really high price for this kind of cellphone.
