Huawei Ascend Y550 Review

Huawei Ascend Y550 is a powerful Android phone, having an extremely powerful Quad-Core processor clocking at 1200 MHz, a 4.5" multi-touch display, and two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera.

The Huawei Ascend Y550 is just 0.37" thick, making its way into the thinnest devices podium. This phone is for sale in two different colors, black and white. It appears that Huawei forgot about weight optimization in this 5.4 oz phone.

Huawei decided to equip this device with an exceptional 64 bits Quad-Core processing unit speeding at 1200 MHz, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 system chip with only 1 GB RAM which is a little low for a cellphone of this quality. Graphic rendering generally consume lots of processing time, so this phone has an extra 450 MHz Adreno 306 GPU to take some work out of the CPU. This cellphone has an average 4 GB internal storage, which is quite good knowing that it also has an SD memory slot .

Huawei equipped this device with a very good 4.5 inches display, and a 854 x 480 resolution, which makes it hard to see the pixels in the display. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone has two cameras, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. The Huawei Ascend Y550 can also shoot HD 1280x720 videos at 30 fps. This cellphone also counts with some good characteristics like auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

The Huawei Ascend Y550 uses a 2000 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for many hours, but you may need to charge it even after moderate usage.

This phone includes WiFi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices around, acting as a router), LTE 4G fast data connection and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM networks.

The Huawei Ascend Y550 also includes a couple cool characteristics as Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Huawei Ascend Y550 is not very convinient considering it is priced 249 dollars, and other similar phones are a lot cheaper than that. No matter whether you will use it mainly for social networks, need a phone for gaming or are looking for a cellphone for work, you will probably be very happy with it.
