Huawei Ascend Y330 Smartphone (10.1 cm (4 inch) TFT touchscreen, 3 megapixel camera, 4GB internal memory, Android 4.2) (Electronics)

Customer Review

About 6 months ago, just as it came on the market, I bought the Y330 as my first smartphone. In addition to phone calls and write SMS I wanted to occasionally mobile surfing or checking e-mails, otherwise I am not interested in a smart phone as a status symbol. Music I never listen to the phone, and take photos - very rare. Thus I thought cheap brand or not, even the car I drive no BMW, so enough for me that thing.

Until sth one month I was also quite happy with it. Calls, surf the web, download apps, send SMS, everything worked flawlessly. I had, however, to suspend from the beginning a few things, which is why I can not understand quite the enthusiastic 5-star reviews:

- Printed manual not was and manual can be attributed to the manufacturer's site does not call, even months after the model appear on the market, it means that the manual was being prepared; intuitive self-explanatory I find the functions not necessarily;
- The start-up of mobile phones after turning slowly, almost painfully slow
- The display seems to be quite susceptible to scratching me
- And some minor other aspects.

Nevertheless, I would want to say anything bad about the cell phone at the value for money principle. Especially since I then nevertheless times a few photos made on a trip to the mobile phone when I saw a very beautiful motifs and did not have a camera at hand, and the photos were surprisingly excellent. And, although the photo function well is considered vulnerability of mobile phones.

However, almost 6 months after purchase started the mobile, approximately 2-3 times a day off automatically (irrespectively of the charge state). Time at night, sometimes during the day while it was on the table, sometimes just at the moment where you want to answer an incoming call. Any external serious effects (wet, stepped on, etc.) did not go to the advance, also is determined the case, so it also wobbles nothing. When the phone turns on again (with PIN entry, etc.) it's back - until it runs out then again so after 1-6 hours.

Amazon announced on demand with take back the unit for a refund, which I will make use of. It may be that I had bad luck and my unit was one of 1000, where this happens, but anyway, after the experience my next smartphone Huawei will not then but his.
