  • I own this phone for 8 months. I realize that I am wasting my money coz of very low signal strength and I can't even browse internet. So annoying....

  • i like the droid ascent Q best phone i have owned yet!

  • its not pure,you only see pure droid on nexus devices

  • hi gprs gyus???

  • Excellent phone.Comes with a pure android 4.0. Everything works, all the drivers, a bunch of alternative firmware, and ample opportunities for customization of the interface.

  • It consumes battery like hell and has issues with antenna - with weaker signal consumption rises to 2-2,5% per hour ... in standby. There is no driver avaible for phones USB, so I can't see phone's SD from computer. SD slot is inside and blocked by battery, so I have to turn off the phone, and open it to read content of the SD. No HDMI. No NFC Can't see that hardware acceleration on HD. Video is choppy or just play sound. I have tried using MX Player and MoboPlayer.

  • I've got such a phone since november. I bought it from China (at aliexpress.com). I like it very much. Good quality. I bought multi lingual and it has Google Play. It supports 2 sims - one is only gsm and another is gsm or wcdma (you can select). There are 2 cameras but both are poor quality. It does not matter for me. Screen is good. Batery is good. Good choise for reasonable price.

  • Use the phone one month. Everything is fine. High-quality and reliable. Did not expect this from Huawei. I live in Ukraine, their price is $ 300

  • Totally awesome i have been xpecting this from huawei. I'll go for it its better than alcatel 997D!.

  • Bought this phone in China two weeks ago on a business trip. This is my first Android phone. Been using Blackberry for almost 4 years. Pros: Nice solid feel. Bright screen , very usable in direct sunlight. Touchscreen is very responsive. Dual sim works very well. Cons: Back cover is a PITA to take off. Call volume is low even on highest volume setting Camera pics are not very clear. Overall: Great phone for what I paid. Will be using this for many months.
