Huawei Ascend G510

“It might sound as if we don't like the G510. In fact, we think it's a capable enough phone, and that's reflected in its score. The problem for us is really just that we've seen it all in this price range. Each year, or even more frequently, there's a new low-cost handset from Huawei that fills a need, but it's nothing to get really excited about.”

“The Ascend G510 is another solid release from Huawei. It may be a bit functional but it’s also fairly cheap with some useful features that you won’t find on other comparable phones. It’s perhaps a little bit hard to see where exactly it fits as it is very similar to the Ascend Y300, but I suppose the larger screen will be enough of a difference for some. Android purists tend to dislike the Emotion UI but newer users usually find it a bit easier to get on with, so it’s very much a case of ‘horses for courses’!If you’re in the market for a budget Android phone then the Ascend 510 shouldn’t disappoint. It would certainly make an excellent first Android phone for children as it’s not overly expensive. I think Huawei’s phones offer better value for money than the other manufacturers, but crucially I don’t think there’s a trade off in reliability or functionality either. Whilst the G510 may not be particularly exciting, that doesn’t stop it being an ideal entry-level model if you’re looking for smooth functionality over flashy looks.”

“The Huawei Ascend G510 is a decent mid-range phone at a reasonable price tag. It runs on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) OS out of the box and has LED notification light. The chip and the UX is similar to the Y300. Wish it had a better design since this looks like a larger variant of the Y300. The camera is decent for photos in daylight, but it can record videos only at VGA resolution, which is disappointing. At a price tag of Rs. 10,990, if you need a mid-range Android device with good display, good audio quality, but can live with an average camera, go for it.”

“As a smartphone with the latest version of Android, a good-sized screen, and a decent camera (for stills, not video), the G510 is a good choice for anyone with reasonable expectations. However, as time goes on you're likely to be tempted to try more than just the simple apps and games, and this is where you'll discover that the phone can't really keep up.”
