Huawei Ascend G600: Ascends, but just about

But one area where the G600 does stand out is capturing vision. Its 8MP BSI camera with dual LED flash lets you record hi-definition images and videos. BSI means that the camera works well during low-light conditions as well. Then you have a front-facing 0.3MP camera that is useful for video chatting. Yet another feature where the G600 impresses is in its ability to reproduce sound via its Dolby DTS 5.1 dual speakers. Lastly, the G600 supports seven Indian languages—Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu, Punjabi, Kannada and Gujarati.

Now there can be some overly-enthusiastic smartphone fans who might miss the fact that the G600 is not upgradeable to Jelly Bean 4.1, but I don’t see this as problem since the Ice Cream Sandwich works well for the phone.

Overall, the Ascend G600 is a decent smartphone that impresses with its sound, camera and screen clarity, but what really works for the phone is its sticker price that makes it a whole lot value-for-money proposition.
