Huawei Ascend Y300 Phone Review

ValueDecent good screen, internal storageSome lagNot reflectionsLimited bar the intuitive UIThe more Huawei Ascend Y300 is typical of that Huawei used to be all over before it began to make high-end phones like the P6 Ascend. Is an affordable Android phone that cost a shade more than £ 100. But to achieve the same degree of Samsung phone, you have to spend about £180. And if you live with some of its peculiarities, is one of the best budget Android phones around.

Most budget phones of Huawei are not designed to inspire lust gadgets – are here to offer specific and cracking a good Android experience for little money. That's why we find it quite easy to forgive the Huawei Ascend Y300 for its looks pretty bland.

Is a black plastic phone that embraces its seams, rather than trying to look at flash as a 620 Lumia. To 11.2 mm thick, is slightly too, highlighted by the corpulent frame, block, brick as Y300. This is not a phone obsessed with drawing.
There are some nice little tricks, though. The back cover is rubberized and has a texture of raised lines, making it much grippier than most.

Camera back of Huawei Ascend Y300 also has more visual appeal than most budget phones, which often have a simple lens in a sea of faceless plastic. It may not have bags of personality, but it's a visually inoffensive phone.

Has a screen of healthy size, too. The Y300 Ascend has a 4-inch display, which is becoming a staple size for low-end phones like this.

Such a screen makes the Huawei Ascend Y300 a direct rival for phones like the Samsung Galaxy 3 and Sony Xperia Ace U. The beauty of Huawei is that is usually selling a good 50-£ 70 cheaper.

Viewing has the ascending Y300 down pretty well. Its screen of 800 x 480 pixels IPS is incredibly strong and has no immediate screen pop of a high-end phone, but is brilliant, daring and decent viewing angles. We are on the verge of maturity phone that also entry-level phones can have good enough screens.

There are a couple of obvious limitations. The display appears a bit recessed upper layer (which is partly why the images pop not spectacularly) and the screen does not use an anti-reflective coating particularly good. Virtually all phones are reflective enough these days, but with a less effective, the effects become quite pushy when going outdoors.

For a phone of this class, however, the screen is decent enough – it does not suffer from the soft colours sadly sometimes we see in budget phones.

Like almost all Huawei phones, Y300 Ascend runs Android. It uses Android 4.1 at the moment and there is no word of when – or if – will get a Boost up to Android 4.2 or 4.3.

However, mostly it is questionable why Y300 ascending runs a custom interface rather invasive. Is a smaller version of the UI emotion that is common in high-end phones Huawei, but is only occasionally in low-end ones, historically used at least.

Is an interface that is quite strange and unusual because cuts completely off the side menu of Android apps. All the Apps Ascend Y300, all his games and all its usefulness (including the menu settings) are placed throughout the home six screens, which can be increased to nine, if you need more space.

Is initially a very puzzling layout and one that requires more organization than any other interface – why it doesn't auto-arrange apps in itself, how does a dedicated applications menu. You have the tools, like Y300 Ascend apps and folders allow fairly easy rearrangements of apps. But it is far from a custom user interface to save effort. New applications to get to the home screen very whizzed far too, which seems absurd to us.

Because Huawei has done this? Our best bet is that it's giving the company's phones more than a taste of iOS. iOS is the software used by the iPhone and – like the user interface of emotion – all the phone's features and apps are arranged through home screens. However, as you can imagine, it works much better than an iPhone.

A slightly more positive side to the user interface of emotion is that allows you to choose between a bunch of themes that alter the wallpaper of Y300 Ascend, app icons and even lock screen in one go. They can also alter system fonts.

Five themes available, but hardly dynamic, are pre-installed. You can download a few more UI Web site of emotion, but they are labeled as for Ascend P1, so few will realize this. Should be a fun, defining the user interface features of emotion, but Huawei did not complete successfully.
