Hi, nI’m smartphone user for around 4 years, previously I used iphoe 3GS, Samsung Ace and Xperia sola. I believe i have enough experience in writing review for a smartphone.nI have been using this mobile for around 2 weeks, 1st week on Andr... oid 4 (ICS) and next week I upgraded to Android Jellybean (4.1). User experience is definitely different on Android Jellybean. nnLooks- The most attractive thing about this phone is it’s slim waistline. It is pretty much thin than most of the smartphones and also weights pretty less. You don’t feel you have phone in your pocket. I have white version, its back is smooth and easily slips from your hand, so hold it carefully. Try to buy some case. Look wise, the phone is pretty decent and definitely won’t disappoints you.nnDisplay – The qHD AMOLED display produces images with crunchy colors and brightness is very good (Better than Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy nexus). Sunlight visibility is also good. In display-wise, the phone is superior than any other 15K phones. If you are new smartphone user, you will definitely love this display. Watching movies and viewing pictures is awesome experience. nnProcessor and RAM - The dual-core processor coupled with 1 GB RAM ensures smooth android experience without any Lag (Both in ICS and Jellybean) even you run bunch of applications in the background. Performance wise its better than any mid-range phone. Hats off to HuaweinnBattery – The battery lost only a day in average use, you can’t expect more than that. You can improve it by reducing brightness, disabling data and GPS. nnHeating Issue – The phone heats up with 30 minutes of continuous Game play and 1 hour of continuous Browsing. But it’s normal in 2012 Android Smartphones. nnInternal Memory – The phone has internal memory of 2.3 GB (ICS) and 1.9 GB (Jellybean) for average user it’s ok and for game geeks it’s not enough . nNote – Mine Running on Jellybean (1 GB full after installing 20 Casual games and 30 Plus Essential Apps ), but still its running smooth like butter.nnCamera - Pretty decent camera, don't expect too much. The camera has lot of features, you will love it, when you try all those camera filters and image enhancement features.nnBundled Accessory - Pretty Ordinary (Charger + Datacable, Headset) nnGreat Headache- There no way to enable 3G only mode (2G only mode is available), so automatically switches between 3g and 2g depending on available strong network. If you are using 3G only data pack, it causes problem of 2g data Charges.nnAndroid 4.03 ICS ReviewnnInterface - The interface (Emotion 1.0) is smooth, attractive and productive. It has three different themes (Stock ICS, 3D theme and another one). The 3D theme looks cool and better than Touchwiz and Sony Launchers., and stock ICS theme gives you a feel like you are using a Nexus device. You can easily switch between themes without a glitch. This Chinese gaint gives one of the better Andorid experience. Pre-installed Music player offers visual-treat to your eyes.nnMusic Quality – The most most worst part of this phone is music quality, sound is very low (But clear). Even 320 Kbps won’t sounds good, even after enabling Dolby support (its integrated to improve sound quality) and connecting high-end headphones. No BASS at all, only Treble. You can’t even hear voice, while watching movies, The problem is due to software bug, if you update your phone to JB the problem solved. I will rate music quality as 3/10.nnAndroid 4.1 JellyBean Review nnIn Jellybean update, Huawei offers user interface update names as Emotion 1.5nUI wise I personally feel Android ICS is better than Jellybean. 3D themes and Stock ICS themes are gone, only one theme is available and its plane. No app drawers, you have to accommodate all apps and widgets on homescreen (Still it’s smooth) , the only good add-on is Me Widget. Music player is pretty normal.nnMusic quality – Music quality wise JB update is astonishing. I can’t figure out, what huawei did, the music will burst out your ears. Pls disable Doby in settings , otherwise you will only hear treble not Bass. Try Google music app, that’s better than stock.nnYou can read complete review on my blog...
