The Official Huawei Ascend 2 Review
The first thing I want to talk about is the over all speed and major graphical increase over the first marketed Ascend. With a 600 Mhz processor witch is a little bump up from the 1st Ascend's 528 Mhz you will notice overall a performance increase between doing everyday tasks as in txting and browsing the web and email. Another awesome feat is had is a dedicated Adreno 200 GPU witch is going to make most of your game playing and overall anything with android graphically Ex. Animations go smooth. With a 5 megapixel camera it's also added more quality to the camera and takes decent shot in well lighted areas. Video quality is sub-par but good for the average user. The con's about the camera are no flash and no auto focus bummer. So is this phone worth buying ? Absolutely I think you will get a overall good Gingerbread Android experience from this phone and at 150 It's a steal.
