The Red, Pink…? Huawei Ascend Y330

These day it’s a given to have a phone that’s able to use What’s App, Facebook, and Twitter if you’re in to that stuff. The Huawei Y330 is a great mid-range android phone that is here to corner the market with an aggressive price point. So aggressive that it might be the new Nokia flashlight phone trend for LIME customers.


What makes this phone tick?
The fact that it was stated mid-range phone should give you the clue that you shouldn’t expect anything close to a Samsung Galaxy S5 specification, but that doesn’t make it a horrible phone. 

  • Display - 4.0 inches (~245 ppi pixel density)
  • Memory Card slot microSD, up to 32 GB
  • Internal Storage 4 GB, 512 MB RAM
  • Bluetooth v4.0, A2DP
  • microUSB v2.0
  • Camera - 3.15 Mega Pixel
  • Android OS - v4.2 (Jelly Bean)
  • CPU - Dual-core 1.3 GHz
  • Sensors - Accelerometer, proximity
  • FM Radio with RDS
Camera
A phone without a camera is considered antique these days and thus won’t sell or attract the masses. The Y330 wants to be sold and the outstanding 3MP camera on the back takes lovely photos in the days. There is no flash to help take pictures in low-light conditions, but it is still produces attractive low light photos. One minor problem I had with this phone was that absence of a front facing camera. So forget about video calls on Skype, Google Hangouts or on any other application you may think of.


Processor and Memory
This phone comes with a Dual Core 1.3GHz processor that is actually powerful enough to run most of the apps on the Google Play Store. The 512MB of RAM that the Huawei Y330 has is small compared to the top of the line Smartphone’s out there, but it gets the job done. Although, you should expect some slow down in the Operating System while running more than two applications in the back ground at a time. If you are a new comer to Smartphones then this won't be a problem, you'll probably want to do one task at a time until you figure out the phone’s full potential.

Battery Life
Although this phone doesn't offer a large battery, it has built-in apps to maximize the most of what it has to work with. The power saving options will show applications that are installed and using up most of the phone resources. Also, the fact that this phone isn’t quad or octa-core makes it very easy to last an entire day on a full charge.  It offers up to 5 hours of talk time, and 320 hours on standby, which is average for most Smartphone’s on the market now.


Final Thoughts
The options for a Smartphone that cost below the $10,000 mark are limited or nonexistent in most cases, but the Huawei Ascend Y330 from LIME is the perfect solution for persons looking to enter the new age of phone tech without putting too much of a dent in your finances.
