72%
Huawei has had a commercial success in Kenya, yet they are not stopping their. Huawei through safaricom recently introduced their new lines of smart phones which is set to take over the market after its successful predecessor the Huawei Ideos u8150. The phone itself is an improvement in terms of build and performance.
Design and Build
The Huawei Ascend Y-100 is a small nice phone that fits nicely in the hand. The Huawei Ascend lives to every aspect of its predecessor, but gives you a more solid feel in your hand thus making it comfortable to use. The Huawei Ascend Y100 runs on a 800 MHz processor with an Adreno 200 GPU. It also has a 256MB RAM and 512MB Rom which makes it more better in handling apps and games. Angry Birds Space run well without a glitch and at a good frame rate although the small screen size makes it a bit more complicated to play the game, games such Temple Run loaded to the splash screen, but forced closed after, but after rooting and over-clocking the game run with lots of lagging.
The Huawei Ascend Y 100 has a 2.8 inch screen with a resolution of 320×240 pixels, which is fairly standard among entry level android devices. The small screen size and the resolution, however, make the apps and the whole OS look very pix-elated. The capacitive screen on the other hand makes the phone very responsive and easy to use, which is a very big plus for the phone.
Software
The Huawei Ascend Y-100 comes packed with Android V2.3 (Gingerbread) out of the box. Huawei has made some effort to customize the software giving it a unique feel and functionality. The device runs its operating system rather well and makes no compromises doing its day to day processes.
It comes with a trial version of Documents To Go, which allows one to view excel, word and powerpoint files. The downside is that you have to pay for the full version so as to be able to edit documents or create your own.
When it comes to comes to texting, the Huawei Ascend becomes a master, as during the usage texting is very comfortable and very few instances of typos was experienced.
Camera and other features
The camera is one part that Huawei really failed. They 2Mp camera does not produce good photos, with washed out colours and noise creeping in especially in less than ideal lighting conditions. The video camera records VGA at 30fps which is quite good at this level.
The Huawei Ascend Y100 has standard Li-Ion 1050 mAh battery, which is very small for a smart phone. However, the battery lives to its expectation and does an exceptional job when it comes to performance, as it was able to handle the phones activity well without a need for quick recharge. The battery can be able to last longer than for more than a day and a half on minimal usage.
Just like the ideos, the Huawei Ascend Y100 has interchangeable back covers, hence users can be able to purchase the handsets based on the colour of their preference.
Wrap Up
The Huawei Ascend Y100 makes quite an impression for a budget entry phone. The phone packs a punch to even some of the other budget level phones such as the Orange San Francisco and the Huawei Ideos. If you are really on budget, this is a recommended phone for you especially if the camera and the resolution is not your priority.
