The SoC integrates different hardware components such as the CPU, GPU, memory, peripherals, interfaces, etc. That's unlikely to be devastatingly rapid, but it should be enough for the sort of basic tasks a super-budget phone will be used for.

Design Information about the dimensions and weight of the device, shown in different measurement units. Part of the customisation made in the Huawei Y330’s custom interface is that screen transitions glide with a bit more inertia than in standard Android 4.Information about additional software and hardware features of the rear camera which improve its overall performance. Display The display of a mobile device is characterized by its technology, resolution, pixel density, diagonal length, color depth, etc. The L2 (level 2) cache memory is slower than L1, but has a larger capacity, instead, which allows it to cache more data.

On the Y550 however, it simply didn't work, instead just resulting in a completely white picture, with no visible details whatsoever.

Hands on reviews' are a journalist's first impressions of a piece of kit based on spending some time with it. This SAR rating shows the maximum level of exposure to electromagnetic radiation taken when the device is placed next to the ear.

However, if you head into the settings again you can actually dig down into “Storage” and actually alter the default storage location to be the SD card. Originally specializing in phones, tablets and wearables, John is now TechRadar's resident automotive expert, reviewing the latest and greatest EVs and PHEVs on the market. There are different battery types and some of the most commonly used in mobile devices are the lithium-ion (Li-Ion) and the lithium-ion polymer battery (Li-Polymer).This SAR rating shows the highest level of exposure to electromagnetic radiation measured when the device is placed at the hip level. We use industry standard tests to compare features properly and we use the phone as our main device over the review period. There was a lot of thought put into the device by Huawei in terms of providing a pleasant user experience. While I’m here, don’t forget that this newer phone has about the same screen resolution when you consider the fact that the screen is half an inch bigger.

When not testing the latest phones, he can normally be found with his camera in hand, behind his drums or eating his stash of home-cooked food.
