This is my first smart phone and I've had it for two years. I have the Ascend H881C version and it has worked fine with one exception. Although it allows for 32 GB micro SD card, all the apps run on the internal storage (even if the SD card is chosen as primary), so I'm always running out of memory for app updates and have to uninstall and then reinstall apps to get the latest versions. Other than the lack of internal storage for apps, it's been a great phone and I would recommend it for beginners and those that just want basic functions.

This is actually one of the best (cheap) smartphones I have had. It runs fine (my old one took forever to do anything) and actually has a fairly recent version of the Android OS on it. My only complaint is the low amount of built in storage space, since not all apps can be installed on an SD card. I only paid $30 for it, so am still happy with the purchase.

Some people complained that battery life was horrible. There was a period of time when this was true. It was temporary problem caused by Google Play Services. I had installed an update and suddenly my battery wouldn't last more than a couple of hours. I had to uninstall Google Play Services, which is needed by a number of other apps, but not apps that I was really using, although Google Maps was among them. Eventually I accepted an update to Google Play Services and they had resolved the problem. I can go about a day on a single battery charge, but I don't typically use my phone a lot.

ablemicky, 11 Apr 2015i wish i had read this earlier..it would have saved me a lo... moreThis is my first smartphone and so maybe I don't realize how crappy a phone it is, but still it is not so bad as people are making it out to be. I've been using mine for a year and a half now and it does what I need it to do. It runs the apps I've wanted to run. I've mostly been happy with the quality of my phone service. If you see it as just a paper weight then you probably have a defective phone or have unreasonable expectations.
The biggest downside of the phone is that it can be slower than molasses at times. I haven't really compared it against other phones, but it can sometimes take 20 seconds to get out of an app and start up the phone app and get to the point where I can make a phone call. That seems excessive, but I don't make make many calls so that it is not really an issue for me. Receiving calls has never been a problem. I find the sound quality is good and the speaker phone works well.
Sometimes the text messaging app won't stay open. Apparently it's not good at managing memory and I sometimes have to run a memory booster app such as Clean Master to get it to run reliably. Usually I don't have to, but when I have problems with the messaging app closing spontaneously I know it's time to run the memory booster.
The browser that comes with it is not very reliable. It would frequently close spontaneously and I'd have to restart it and try to get back to the desired web page. That can be very frustrating. I found that there are other browsers that are much more reliable. I prefer UC Browser or CM Browser. Google Chrome works well, but uses a tremendous amount of memory.
For some reason although it comes with 2.7 GB of storage built-in they only make 630 MB of that available for apps. I assume this is just to frustrate people to force them to move to higher end phones so they can install all the apps they want. I was running out of app storage even with moving all the apps that I could to a 32 GB SD card using the built-in function for doing that. Eventually I rooted my phone and installed Link2SD which allowed me to move a lot more app related data to the SD card and thus allows me to install many more apps.
The touch screen works well and I've been satisfied with the quality of the graphics. I've never had problems watching streaming videos. Youtube works well both via the app and on a browser. I've used Netflix and streamed other video using browsers with no problems. I sometimes stream music using Pandora or Spotify. I've never tried video games more demanding than Angry Birds, so I can't say how it performs in that respect.
The camera is adequate and I wish it had a flash. One thing that is good about the camera is that it takes good pics of documents with normal lighting. The auto focus worked well on closeup objects. This is probably not a big plus for many people, but I recently had need of taking many such pics and was pleased with the results compared to other cameras I tried.
One thing I like about the phone is that it has an easily replaceable battery. I recommend buying extra batteries and an external battery charger. I like to carry one or two fully charged batteries with me so I can swap one in if the battery dies. I think it's easier to carry extra batteries than other external battery devices. The batteries are light and thin and will fit in any pocket. You can buy batteries for about $5 each on Amazon or Ebay.

Worst phone ever. This phone has caused me so many issues that I cannot wait to move on to a different phone. I have tried to call people and the phone calls others; most of the time numbers that I don't even have saved in my phone! Its starting to text random text messages to people and even worse than that, the battery is dying constantly even though it is right after I've taken it off the charger. Literally the worst phone ever created. I am frightened by this phone and how it works because I don't know if or when it is going to call someone that could possibly hurt me. I am furious that they are still allowing this phone on the market actually and highly suggest people steer clear of this phone, no matter what. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE- END OF STORY!

Not a good phone why Huawei made such a Sluggish and outdated mobile not enough memory not using OIS camra although rivals are using those Technology already also the other issue is that Huawei market discrimination not found their Mobile sets in the certain counntry???????
