Comparisons Featuring Huawei Ascend G330

Short Review

  • The Huawei Ascend G330 features a compact design with dimensions of 122.5 x 62.6 x 11.2 mm and a weight of 130g, making it easy to handle.
  • Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, offering a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 processor and Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon S4 Play chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM, which provides adequate functionality for everyday use.
  • The 5 MP rear camera captures decent images but lacks optical image stabilization and only supports video recording at 480p.
  • The 1500mAh battery capacity is modest, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
  • Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is dated but functional for basic applications.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone is available in Matt Black and Luxury Silver colors, offering a simple aesthetic.
  • There is a headphone jack for audio output, but stereo speakers are not included.
  • Overall, the Ascend G330 serves as a basic smartphone with essential features.
