Comparisons Featuring Huawei Ascend G300
Short Review
- The Huawei Ascend G300 features a compact design with dimensions of 122.5 x 63 x 10.5 mm and a weight of 140g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon S1 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 512MB of RAM, providing sufficient power for everyday applications.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of capturing decent images, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1350mAh, which may require frequent recharging given the device's performance demands.
- It runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) but can be upgraded to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), offering limited software features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, although it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device lacks advanced features like HDR and wireless charging, which are common in newer models.
- The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality, but it does include a headphone jack for wired listening.
- Overall, the Huawei Ascend G300 is a basic smartphone suitable for users with minimal requirements.
