Lifestyle: Huawei Ideos U8150 Smartphone



Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another gadget review brought to you by alexleow-kimmy.com. This time around, I am going to introduce a budget Android Phone for you and I bet you'll simply love this phone at least based on its price and its functions. Also the design of the phone where it's nice and  Introducing the Huawei Ideos U8150 Smartphone that I've bought and I've used it for a couple of days now (if you read this post was posted today). Huawei did put an effort to partner with Google to come out with this phone and it's good overall.


Basically it's a level entry Android Smartphone that was introduced by Huawei to penetrate the market to fight with Samsung Galaxy Y. It has what it takes as this is a great budget phone in the market. The screen is 2.8" only and it's pretty small and I would say it's very suitable for girls to own this phone as the design is sleek and beautiful design too. It's running on the Android Froyo 2.2 platform and the processor is only about 600MHZ with a 256MB build in RAM and 512MB of ROM. The internal memory is 200MB only. You can just image the speed and when I tried to open certain apps such as Facebook, Foursquare or Whatsapps, it was pretty slow in loading and you definitely have to wait a while. The touch screen uses the capacitive touchscreen and it's pretty smooth too. It has a 3.2 Megapixel Camera (without auto focus and flash) and the quality of the picture isn't look impressive. You can also store a Micro SD card and it can support up to 32GB of space.It has WIFI and a HSDPA connection and can support up to 7.2MBps too. The best part is this phone is it can also act as MIFI and you can share the connection to other users as well. However despite the good of this phone, it has some bad part as well. The battery life was pretty short and you need to charge daily as the battery drains too fast although you did not use the phone or uses the phone excessively. Then the apps offen hang and it forces you to close as well.



This phone was released back in September 2010 and it was about 2 years from now and it's already obsolete. But I guess you can still get the phone online or walk in to any mobile stores to ask for its availability. Overall, it was a budget phone and you cannot expect much on this phone. If you are a previous keypad phone owners, this phone would be suitable for you to play around first before upgrading to a more powerful Android devices. The price of the Huawei Ideos U8150 is ranging from RM259 to RM350 in the market now and it depends on the free items given such as memory card and others accessories and so on. A great budget phone to look into and you will at least not regret of getting it at least a backup phone :) MY RATING: 4/5
