Short Review

  • The Huawei Ascend Y520 features a compact design with dimensions of 134.2 x 67 x 10.2 mm and a weight of 150g, available in black, white, blue, and pink.
  • Its 4.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6572 chipset with a dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which is adequate for light usage.
  • The Mali-400 GPU handles graphics, although the overall performance may struggle with demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • Battery capacity stands at 1750 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
  • The device runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat), providing a basic user experience without the latest features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers is noted, but it does include a headphone jack.
  • Overall, the Ascend Y520 is a basic smartphone with essential features for everyday use.
