Went onto Sainsbury pay as you go, picked up a clam shell type non smartphone. Decided to upgrade and checked online, Sainsburys had these at £35 with a sim, half price top up voucher too! This is a fast phone, fully specced with GPS, accelerometer and a nice screen. For the money it is an absolute steal. It handles calls well, has a logical if unusual Android system. It works though. Calls are handled well and it has the best in call menu system I have encountered. The bluetooth is good and has a reasonable range! If you want a good value smart phone buy the Ascend!

It's really a shame that there is not a menu, but after a while you get used to your home area, or if you really want, you just download the Google Play some laucher and you have a menu. I personally downloaded the Smart Laucher, because menu, and really nice environment (I can highly recommend it). I have got this phone two months and I'm really happy with it, for that price really can not get around better phone. It's realy easy to use and facebook or similar applications work without troubles.

Great phone for someone wanting Iphone5 size without the price. Android 4.1 Jellybean Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon Dual-core 1GHz Cortex A-5 Graphics provided by Adreno 203 (better than the 200 and 205) GPU (anagram of Radeon as its made my ATI) I mainly use it for texting, facebook and games like angry birds, bad piggies, lego star wars and it runs them perfectly. Camera is 5MP with auto-focus but only an LED flash (what happened to xenon ones?) The built in launcher gives the feel of an Iphone (not good I know as im an android nut) but you can download different ones on google play just search launcher. Sound quality from the built in speaker is rather good with a decent amount of bass for the size of speaker. Better than Iphone. I bought mine from carphonewarehouse.com for £69.99 but had to pay an extra £10 for a topup but wasn't bothered as that went to my mum lol. And best of all at carphonwarehouse they're supplied UNLOCKED and UNBRANDED. Great value phone that looks, and feels it should have another £100 at least on the price tag.

I picked this up for £70 from carphonewarehouse on offer. I just needed to get a phone quick that could browse the internet and use facebook ect as my old phone had broken and I couldn't afford a top-end phone. I have to say, for the price I payed I'm very impressed. The phone feels nice in the hand and the screen is neither too big or small so someone with small hands could reach all the corners. It almost feels like an iphone when it's in your hand (Not that I like the iphone). The stock launcher with this is pretty horrible in my opinion, there is no app drawer and all your apps are on the home screen along with a few tacky looking widgets made by Huawei. However, this is android so it's so easy to customize it to how you want it. I currently use Next launcher hd and everything is running as smooth as even a galaxy s3! I haven't tried gaming much on it really but I did have a game of temple run and it ran that nice and smooth (although not at the best framerate in the world) Overall, if you're looking for a phone that won't break the bank but will just serve as something to check your facebook and make phone calls then this is the phone for you.
