Product Information

Once you've downloaded your essential social networking apps, you won't have much room left for anything else. Of course, as with other phones that have fairly rubbish screens, the prospect of browsing the web or watching video on them just isn’t that attractive, which does their anecdotal battery report a favour.

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) was developed to replace the analog cellular network (1G), therefore it is referred to as a 2G mobile network. Some processors have a level 0 cache memory, which is accessed quicker than the L1, L2, L3, and so one cache memories.

I don’t know quite what’s happening with the camera but, for reasons I can’t fathom, the HDR mode just doesn’t function. It’s an iPhone-style approach, but means you need to be a bit more careful about curating your Y550 than most phones. The instruction set architecture (ISA) is a set of commands used by the software to manage the CPU's work. That’s a slight improvement, but not one that pushes the Snapdragon 410 into a new class (beyond that of 64-bit CPUs, of course).

Hands on reviews' are a journalist's first impressions of a piece of kit based on spending some time with it. We use industry standard tests to compare features properly and we use the phone as our main device over the review period.While we’re yet to see how all that many 2015-generation chipset phones perform in stamina terms, the Huawei Ascend Y550 is a sign of a longer-lasting future. There are also non-satellite technologies for locating mobile devices such as the Enhanced Observed Time Difference, Enhanced 911, GSM Cell ID. inch display has an 854x480-pixel resolution, which is at the bottom end of what I'd expect to see on any smartphone's screen, even one this cheap. Fresh out of the box the Huawei Ascend Y550 has a pretty tasteful skin, not something we can say about all Huawei phones.
