Comparisons Featuring Huawei Ascend II

Short Review

  • The Huawei Ascend II features a compact design with dimensions of 117 x 61 x 13 mm and a weight of 120g, available in white and black.
  • Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
  • Performance is powered by a 600 MHz CPU and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking and demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of video recording, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The 1400 mAh battery provides basic longevity but does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is limited compared to more recent versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device has a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
  • Overall, the Ascend II is a basic smartphone with essential features, suitable for users with minimal requirements.
  • Its design and build quality are functional, but it lacks advanced capabilities found in newer models.
