Comparisons Featuring Huawei U8220

Short Review

  • The Huawei U8220 features a compact design with dimensions of 116 x 63 x 14 mm and a weight of 135g, making it portable but slightly thick.
  • Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which may appear less vibrant compared to modern standards.
  • Performance is limited, with only 192MB of storage and 192MB of RAM, which may affect multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera is 3.15 MP with autofocus, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front camera for selfies.
  • The 1500mAh battery provides basic power but does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 1.5 (Cupcake), the software experience is outdated, lacking many features found in newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone does not have a headphone jack or stereo speakers, limiting audio options.
  • Overall, the U8220 is a basic device suitable for essential tasks but falls short in performance and features compared to contemporary smartphones.
  • Its build quality and design may appeal to users seeking a simple, functional phone.
