Short Review

  • The Huawei U8520 Duplex features a compact design with dimensions of 112 x 57 x 12.7 mm and a weight of 109g, making it portable and easy to handle.
  • Its 3.2-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, providing decent clarity with a pixel density of approximately 180 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7227-1 Snapdragon S1 chipset, a 600 MHz ARM 11 CPU, and 512MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is 3.15 MP, capable of recording video at 480p, though it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The 1500mAh battery supports standard usage without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo), the software experience is limited by modern standards but functional for basic operations.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, along with a standard headphone jack.
  • Overall, the U8520 Duplex is a basic device with essential features suitable for users with minimal smartphone needs.
  • Its build quality and design reflect its era, prioritizing portability over advanced specifications.
