About this deal

It needs notching up a tad here, and some of the default settings in the phone need tweaking with those camera gremlins squished. However, if you head into the settings again you can actually dig down into “Storage” and actually alter the default storage location to be the SD card.

It’ll show you which apps are draining your battery, how much battery life you have remaining and more. Around the back of the phone is a 5-megapixel camera, which is about all you can expect on a budget phone. There’s a Themes app and a tab that lets you peruse Themes to download, but there simply aren’t any there.It states the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the image, which can also be shown in megapixels that indicate the approximate number of pixels in millions. Operating system Operating system is the system software, which manages and controls the functioning of the hardware components of the device.

Most notably, it removes the app tray, forcing you to keep all your apps and widgets scattered across the multiple homescreens. If you hope to use your phone to capture pictures of your holidays to share on Facebook, it's worth finding a phone with a better camera.

The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other Huawei owners to provide you with a good answer. For the most part, it's sufficient to cope with everyday tasks like tweeting, Instagramming or watching a spot of Netflix. Despite the quite good additions about data management, phone management, memory management and CPU management, all apps start to install on the internal 4GB, and that fills up pretty quickly.

In terms of specs there's not much to choose between the Ascend Y550 and the EE Kestrel, although the design has been changed and the front facing camera gets a bump to 2MP. It’s prone to overexposure too, and the HDR mode is fairly ineffective at fixing this, only really bringing out shadow details rather than calming down highlights. With its low resolution screen and underpowered processor, even getting on with the everyday basics can be a chore. After 2 hours of video streaming at max screen brightness, the battery level had dropped from full to 64 percent, which is distinctly average.

There are different battery types and some of the most commonly used in mobile devices are the lithium-ion (Li-Ion) and the lithium-ion polymer battery (Li-Polymer). There are also non-satellite technologies for locating mobile devices such as the Enhanced Observed Time Difference, Enhanced 911, GSM Cell ID. I’m a big fan of some of their higher-end devices and likewise this is a reassuringly solid construction which feels good in the hand. Its screen has a very low resolution, Huawei's custom Android skin is clunky and awkward to use, the camera is poor, the HDR mode simply doesn't work, it only has 4GB of built-in storage and the underpowered processor sometimes results in sluggish navigation.
