Huawei Ascend G330

I have been using this phone for a week now, in brief review about the phone

I have to admit, battery life is terrible. Its charged to 100% and then i use it for 2-3 mins of regular phone stuff and battery is drained by 5-6%. So i just tried to use the phone with regular use for a day and it lasted for like 30+ hours with 2-3 hours of talk time, little of browsing and data connection on for half of the time during this testing window.

I have seen battery remains stable for 8-9 hours when i dont use the phone at all! But as i use for min or 2 it drains by 5-6%. Restarting the phone reduces battery % by 8-9%.

If battery performance is improved this phone will rock! Battery should drain exponentially.

Good:
- Hardware
- Stock Android (Almost)
- Display ( ~230+ PPI)
- Pricing
- No Crap applications ( + Huawei Cloud service is free )
- Nice performance

Bad:
- Battery
- No one knows about this brand! or rather i should say no one knows how to even pronounce company name :) so there are no accessories available.

I would recommend this phone for regular use and occasional gaming. Gaming on it drains the battery. But there is no lag in terms of gaming performance.

Hi all,

This review is written after using the phone for more than 3 months. I obviously wanted to share my experience (positive, of course, if not, I wouldn't spend my time for reviews painstakingly) which I believe may help others to decide whether or not to buy this phone.

Pros: Processor, Display (with auto brightness), GPU, ROM (without unnecessary bloat wares), Screensize, Smoothness

Cons: The major turn down point is the battery. However, it improved after a month of complete charge and discharging daily. Roughly lasts for a day. Games are the biggest battery suckers, especially Temple run (Huawei must have considered more amp battery!). Using wifi, browsing etc. wont consume much and if the phone is used only for calls, it stay for amazing 3 days!

For the price I paid, I am more than satisfied. I wouldn't have hesitated to spend some extra bucks for 1GB RAM!

For people who fear about customer support, Huawei maintains it great (both voice and email). And for the ones who compare with Micromax canvas 2, the comment from its user is "Man, this phone is much better than mine, no significant lags except one has to compromise for 4 inch screen instead of 5".

Personally, I am not trying to boast that I made a good purchase but can any one say what brand of processor Micromax uses?

I wanted to buy a Huawei's Phone and was trying to find details abt G330, G500 pro and G600 (these are still not available in India) in a city in China with my Chinese friend. As a few technical details were not known to the sellers we finally reached Huawei's authorized service centre as there was no exclusive Huawei shop. The kind of service and behaviour I came across from them will never encourage me to buy any Huawei's phone, ever ! It might be a big company but if they can not provide good service in their home country how can I expect them to do any thing good out side.

Huawei makes decent phones and the G330 is definitely not a bad phone from specs standpoint.

Here is my feedback and it's going to be short as these may be issues with my phone only (i.e. the piece that I received)

1. Battery drains fast, super fast. In 5 minutes after getting to 100% charge the battery dipped to 92% - Data Off, Screen Brightness on Auto and all apps closed. The phone is new and is not loaded with apps yet.
2. This is very very weird and may not be relevant at all for a lot of you guys out there, but I wear glasses made by polaroid (model P4039C) and I was surprised to find out that I could see nothing on the screen of G330 with these glasses on. Other phones no problem at all. I have Huawei Honor as well and no issues with that one.
3. I tested a game on this phone Beach Buggy Blitz, never worked, it appeared to launch and then crash. The same game on Huawei Honor no issues. I do not necessarily think that this is a phone issue, because a lot of other people have reported the game crashing on their phones.

I am still reviewing the phone, but most likely it's going to go back to where it came from. If you want to buy go for Huawei Honor U8860, which is a much better phone, even though it is a single core phone.
