Huawei Y 100

 

A sub-£80 Android phone waiting to convert the last of the non-smart stragglers.

Affordable, Sensible design, Decent performance

Small, low resolution screen, …causing limited games support, Poor camera

Huawei Ascend Y100 review

 

Build quality is about what you would expect at this price. The Ascend Y100 doesn't feel like a premium phone, but it doesn't really feel flimsy, either. We like the matte black finish, which Huawei says is an anti-fingerprint surface, though the...

The Huawei Ascend Y100 has a tiny screen, a mediocre camera and average performance. However, it's all about the price in this instance. At £59, we can't fault the Ascend Y100 too much. If you're patient and can live with a cramped screen, then this is...

Huawei Ascend Y 100 Review

 

Last year we knew Huawei primarily as an OEM manufacturer; creating mobile phones for the likes of Orange and Vodafone. But in late 2011 the company released it's first own-branded smartphone, the Huawei…

Android Gingerbread ; 800Mhz processor

Tiny screen ; Touch controls don’t always respond ; Poor camera

Huawei Y 100 Review

 

The Huawei Y 100 is a pretty cheap smartphone. It's only £79.99 and is a diddy little thing which could be the ideal first smartphone for youngsters, pensioners and those that have been scared off smartphones by the price.

Huawei Ascend Y100

 

The Huawei Ascend Y100 is one of the smallest smartphones we've encountered and offers a budget means of enjoying your usual smartphone oferings. But that small display and mediocre snapper will be a letdown for media fans and photographers

Neat build, excellent battery life, amazingly usable keyboard

Small and pixelated display, mediocre camera

If you’re on a tight budget but want to play with apps, surf the net and take a few pictures, you’d be better off with one of the large budget handsets such as the HTC Explorer or Orange San Francisco II. The display on the Huawei Y100 is too small for...

The Ascend Y100 has a tiny screen, a mediocre camera and average performance but for under $100, can you really complain?

The new $99 phone: Huawei’s Y100 reviewed

 

It's hard to beat a handset for $99, and the Huawei Ascend Y100 could prove to be a decent smartphone for anyone after a cheap net-capable mobile handset, but it's certainly not going to steal the crown from Apple's iPhone or Samsung's Galaxy S3 any...

Very friendly to the wallet, Surprisingly responsive screen

Tiny screen doesn't fit much text or make it easy to use the on-screen keyboard, Some apps and games can offer weak performance, Terrible camera, Locked to Vodafone
