Comparisons Featuring Huawei Ascend Y220

Short Review

  • The Huawei Ascend Y220 features a compact design with dimensions of 116.5 x 60.6 x 12.3 mm and a weight of 130g, making it portable but somewhat bulky.
  • Its 3.5-inch TFT display has a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and 256MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking and demanding applications.
  • The camera is limited, offering a VGA rear sensor without optical image stabilization or a front camera, suitable for basic photography.
  • The 1350mAh battery capacity provides minimal endurance, and it lacks fast charging or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software is outdated and may not support many modern applications.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, along with a standard headphone jack.
  • Available in black and white, the Ascend Y220 does not offer water resistance or premium materials.
  • Overall, it serves basic communication needs but falls short in performance and features compared to contemporary smartphones.
