This was my first smartphone back in 2011. Crazy how bad it was compared to today's phones. I have the Galaxy S10 plus and it's a completely different animal.

AnonD-509532, 01 Mar 2016I had used huawei honor 6 phone for 11 months without any i... moreI had an order flip phone for years. I finally decided to get a "smart" phone. I purchased a refurbished Huawei 3.6.? and it worked alright. It'd boot me off the internet 20-3 times per day and return me to the desk top. It'd shut off and turn itself back on once or twice per day, but for $20 I figured WTH.
Than I knelt down on the phone and cracked the screen.
I was kindda happy with the phone so I bought an upgraded refurbished phone (Huawei H868C 4.0.4). What a complete POS!!! It'd boot me off the net 15-20 per day and return me to the desk top. It'd turn itself on and off 8-10 per day.
I tried everything, even to go as far as completely wiping out everything and returning it to it's original state.
I'll NEVER purchase another thing from Huawei (Who Are We. You're a company that sells GARBAGE) ever again.

I had used huawei honor 6 phone for 11 months without any issue except it gets restarts automatically. After 11 months, auto restart issue arises, as phone was under warranty, I submitted in one of the authorized center for repair. As per service center executive, it takes 15 days for a phone to get repaired (as phone sent to Chennai for repairing) and reach back to customer, and max 20 days. But in my case even after 30 days, I was not have any idea or status about the phone. Forget me, even service center executive is not aware about phone status and more surprisingly even the huawei customer care support team also dont know about the phone status. Every time I call customer care, they said sorry to me, ask me to wait, and keep on saying me that my issue is escalated and forwarded to concern department and they are dealing this issue on priority. This drama keeps going for around 1 week. After 37 days, when I again call to service center executive, he said that he got the update from huawei that they lost/misplaced my cell phone. This appears as a shock, and when I call on customer care they used to give same reply, then even keep on sending me same kind of emails containing apology and my issue has escalated to concern department.
This experience with Huawei service was very pathetic, disappointing and bad.
And after 38 days they said that they would provide me a refurbished phone instead of new one. I asked them to provide me a new replacement as my cell was in good condition and has lost by them under their custody.
I am about to receive phone, If I will get a new replacement then it would be ok else legal actions to be taken against them as I had suffer so many days due to their irresponsible and non cooperative attitude and behavior.

This is really the most ridiculous phone I've ever had, and I"m old, so I"ve had many.
Great screen size, but the type face is uselessly small, so they don't make use of it.
It's really just a camera - the pictures are clear, but everything else is nonsensical. Have the inventors of this phone ever use ANY other smartphone before? I have an cheap LG phone that is head and shoulders better!
It's really just awful, and it isn't cheap. If you can't get an iPhone, go for one of the known brands - LG, Samsung, anybody else. Seriously.

Going to try to be calm because I'm actually quite frustrated right now. I got this phone a year ago and had problems with it since the beginning. First it would randomly restart whenever I sent a text. At least then it would boot up normally at first but then after I had it for half a year, it started giving me errors after every restart and the only way to fix it was to remove the battery and hope it decided to work. I am not exaggerating when I say this would take an hour at the very least. And yes, it has reset during emergencies.
When I came home for Summer break, it got so bad that I had to wipe the data files. It would simply not boot up. Yes, I tried clearing the caches first. It did nothing. I am a college student and I lost all the numbers of people I had met over the semester so this was more than a little inconvenient.
It worked fine for three months before it started resetting again.
This month marks the year I have had it and it has been giving me the error message for three hours straight. It's been resetting multiple times throughout the day (which is unfortunately considered normal for me) but this is the first time it's taken over an hour to reset since I last wiped it. I see no other option but to wipe it's data files again and once more, lose all the numbers I've collected over this new semester.
I have not used it for the internet. I used it strictly for calling and texting people, which given its behavior, that alone was near impossible. I can't imagine what it'd have been like to try and use the internet.
I'm writing this so hopefully anyone thinking of getting a new phone will read what a worthless brand this is and will move past it. You should not waste your money on this phone. I mean it when I say this is the worst phone I've ever had in my life. Thankfully I got a new phone and hopefully it comes soon so I can actually keep the numbers of my contacts this time.
Huawei, I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Never ever again. Good and cheap only if you want to ring someone. Do not rely on it for internet or text. Heard that the CIA were investigating and tried to type a text to a news channel about the phone. As soon as I typed in Chinese government the phone shut down for 2 hours came back on by itself and now can type anything.DO NOT TRUST THIS PHONE OR WHO MAKES IT

SO this was the first smart phone I ever had, so beware, yes, nostalgia is a factor. but not to much, I actually didn't see this as a half bad phone.
yes, it did lag sometimes, and I had to watch my apps, but at the time I didn't know anything else and it was fine, I just got another one and used it, yes, it was a step down from the HTC One I am used to, but it wasn't terrible, I was able to get my favorite little fun game, I got my favorite social media app, and the had room for my music, but that's about it, but honestly People are saying this is a bad phone, but its context, this isn't meant to be a flagship, and it was a low end phone released in 2011 (I think) so its not great, but the deign is great, its thick, but I really don't see a need for a super thin phone.
this phone is durable as all hell, I threw this thing across rooms and it was fine (just to test of course)
it is a very nice size, I love the one handedness of this phone, it was so nice to be able to not have to shuffle my hand around the phone to use it.
now the cons,
it has very little storage, 4.5gbs counting the sd card, but that was enough at the time, now, maybe not now, but its not meant for the big apps,
one thing that really bugged me though, is no multi touch, yes you heard me, no pinching the screen or anything like that, nothing. It really bugged me the whole time and is and was my biggest complaint.
Now the camera, it doesn't have a front facing, and the rear facing is 5 megapixels, but for the price, its a decent camera, I was able to take some photos that I still use on my new phone for backgrounds and things, so it is a good camera, but not every time, low light was grainy and very dark, and also forget you selfie game.
battery
battery on this thing is great, my experience with it was just great, I streamed video, played music, gamed on simple games, and texted non stop all day, and it would be at 20% at the end of the day, it was reliable and if yours isnt, well remove the back and pop in another battery. so my experience with it was great.
Overall it is phone that you get what you pay for, $30 isn't alot of money at all for a phone and its a good phone for what you pay for, now would I suggest this to you? no. not in early 2015, you should get something better now, go for $100 and you got yourself a good phone. But at the time it was a darn good phone, running stock Android (mine did at least) and a great size with a "good" camera.

PMSL this is one of the worst mobiles out there
It will call out at random. It will not phone out when you need it to. it will phone the last number you tried to ring. It will lock up from time to time. Very little memory on board the mobile its self. I gave this phone up after one month. Refurbished I'm glad I did not pay full price for this mobile. I got 19 dollars of amusement out of the mobile plus the 40 dollars to activate it. End of the day don't spend anything on this mobile.

No memory, can't get updates, has actually deleted apps that wouldn't update, so now I have no watsapp or viber , no TVs portal, no games at all, it is the worst phone I have ever had the misfortune of owning, and the battery only lasts 12hrs Max. Can't wait to get a new non-Huawei phone.

Im starting to think this phone is driving me insane! Keyboard vanishes when I am mid typing and it is so slow that I could throw it out the window. I decides for itself when to switch off and the screen jumps, therefore selecting something on the screen when I have actually selected something else. As soon as I can change my phone I will.

Android phones all seem to be pretty much the same. I really like the screen size on this Ascend and the bettery life is amazing. Can't see much difference between this Huawei and a Samsung except the price. Save $300 and buy an Ascend.
