“The Huawei Ascend Y550 isn't a top-performing phone but offers decent insides and 4G at a low price.”
“Even with its low price, the Huawei Ascend Y550 leaves a lot to be desired. With its low resolution screen and underpowered processor, even getting on with the everyday basics can be a chore. The camera isn't worth bothering with -- and the HDR mode doesn't even work.Sure, it has 4G LTE, but that doesn't do much to make up for its shortcomings. Even at this cheap price, your money is better spent elsewhere.”
“Despite some pretty uninspiring first impressions, the Huawei Ascend Y550 actually packs a lot of nice and even some distinctive power-user features into a low-to-mid range specced device. There’s obvious work that could be done to improve it but it nails the goals is set out to do well.With this you get a competent everyday 4G smartphone that won’t die on you, shouldn’t crash all that often and for the price, feels like a genuine steal, it looks and feels considerably cheaper than the mighty Motorola Moto G, but we’re OK with that.”
“The Ascend Y550 is another strong showing for Huawei in the entry-level market. It’s refreshingly uncomplicated which makes it a great choice for first-time users. Their Emotion UI might be a bit “marmite” but there’s something quite friendly about it which is a welcome change. It’s also the cheapest 4G phone available so if you’re looking for fast connectivity on a budget this fits the bill perfectly. The screen does mean you may struggle to fully utilise that 4G speed, you can’t watch HD video for example, but if you regularly tether other devices to your phone then you’ll certainly benefit from the speed boost.”
