Huawei U8150 IDEOS User Reviews

Camera quality is good. camera really works wonders. nice music. Browsing is faster in this phone. It is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7225 chipset that originally runs at 528MHz clock speed which is decently fast and performs better.

The capacitive touch works very fine.phone is very fast for the 521mhz processor.best android phone in this price range. Nice form factor. LOVEEE ITTTT!!!! The capacitive touch works very fine.phone is very fast for the 521mhz processor.best android phone in this price range. Nice form factor.

Low-end Android smartphones are becoming more popular and Chinese manufacturer Huawei is one of the first to release a budget-priced handset that runs the latest version of . The Huawei IDEOS U8150 smartphone is equipped with Android 2.2, called Froyo, as well as a 2.8in capacitive touchscreen

The touch screen is accurate and responsive. The UI is quick enough but can “lag” badly if a CPU intensive app is running. All my favourtie android apps install and run fine though (eg skymap, google maps, stock quote etc). I installed and tested the latest google navigation and it works perfectly – complete with voice generation for street names…

Jut got one of these in Mumbai. Great value phone. These cheap mobiles are really going to open up android to the world's masses. So far very happy with the phone. Capacitive touch screen works really well. 2.8" screen is big enough.. means the phone is nice and compact. Only weak point so far is the camera... it's terrible. But otherwise, this is a fantastic and cheap entry to andriod OS.

hello. I'm currently using Ideos u8150, the performance is good. to be able to track your phone, you need an antivirus with antilost feature. I'm using Avast Mobile Security because it is free in the market. earlier I used Kaspersky Mobile Security 9 but I have to state here that Avast is a better option.

After installing it, you will need to instal the antilost feature thereafter.

I wish this helps you.

I am using Ideos since 3 days as my 2nd phone (got it from Zong). I have a HTC Desire and I have used HTC Hero too.

For people who are planning to buy it, please dont hesitate, just go for it. Its an excellent phone. Its specs and performance is comparable with Hero.

The only issue which you will learn to overcome with time is the small screen; virtual keyboard is small to type sms or email in portrait view but to type in landscape view is perfect.

Very nice looking device. Screen is definitely capacitive. Froyo should run fine on this as it is leaner than 2.1, and it was created "with Google" which is officially branded on the back.
It is faster than my expectation, all software available for Froyo is compatible, There are no Zong Logos on phone or shown during startup (but it is carrier locked).

Camera result is not good indoors, but quite good outdoors (in sun light).

I am using this phone from past 6 months, it actually does not have any issue. it works perfect. Apps like Whatsapp & Viber works so smooth. camera clarity is mind blowing. Music is crystal clear in loudspeaker. and touch is awesome...

The camera quality is really good. didnt expect such good quality in such cheap price. 3.2 mp camera really works wonders. I am very fond of clicking pictures and i was not disaapointed. the pixels are also preety good.

the capacitive touch response is very quick good phone for such a low price...camera quality is fine didn't expect much at this rate battery life in good.good for gaming purpose.a complete package with all android goodness..

good phone for this price but the camera quality is a poor. The body pannel of the phone is good quality. The battery life is good but if using 3g internet the battery drains quickly. but overall a good android phone

a good phone at a very good price. battery life is fine.just the camera quality is not that good.rest everything is great for a price like that. android froyo version works fine with the handset. speaker are really good and inear headsets work just fine. good exterior body panel.

it is a great phone with a very decent camera and a very good battery life. best android phone in its price range.a very fast phone instead of having just 512mhz processor. decent internal storage memory as well as supports upto 32 gb microsd card.

Not a bad phone for the price, the camera is a bit poor. The plastic case for the phone is better quality than I thought it would be, the call quality is OK. However the battery life is poor and frustrating, but then again most Android phones that I have had seem to have this problem.

+ --> capacitive touch, android froyo, good music sound, good call sound, andrano 200 gpu, no additional layer on android, well build quality, can install lot..lot..lots of applications, 14.4Mbps 3G, 300Mbps wifi,

- --> low battery life especialy in 3G, very small keyboard (obviusly due to 320x 240 screen -- but any how, its small ), no next line key in messaging, no equlizer ( but music player with equlizer can be installed ), 20+ application and phone lags.., some time problem with wifi, camera low quality video, simple ear piece and microphone attachment at wrong place, third party ear phone sounds slow ( i use Shure ),

i was very disappointed when knew that its not capable of sending audio files via bluetooth. it doesnt have any options for exporting such type of files. im stil hoping that i might be able to find solutions to this. another fact is i might have difficulties lookng for spare accessories for this model because of its limited availability in the market.

For starters, the first impression you get, where the heck is the user manual? At first I thought I was mistaken but looking at the box I didn't find any other.
The battery life as to be expected cannot last more than a day without charge.
The qwerty keyboard is only useful in landscape mode.
earphone is cannot be compared to what Sony Ericksson gives even on their cheaper handsets. Internal speaker output is quite good.
Wifi connectivity is pretty seamless and tethering to pc is easy and even first time users can easily figure out.
The good thing is the availability of thousands of applications downloadable for free from the android market.

Right Size for portability. Best Price for unlocked phone. Navigating on the internet is an amazing experience as you are able to go to websites with flash applications. However, battery life is not good even as stand by. Users must be quite familiar Android

Easy to use once you know how. However, the manual is an absolute disgrace with some 20 pages of text squeezed down onto a sheet of paper that is slightly larger than "Legal" size. If you want to read it, BUY A MICROSCOPE.

Mind you, why you should read it is beyond me for it is just about useless for anyone unfamiliar with a smart phone. Cop this for the opening statement:

"Note:
All the pictures in this guide are for your reference only. The actual appearance and display features depend on tyhe mobile phone you purchased".

It is all down hill from there. The "guide" is for all smart phones from the manuacturer; it is NOT model specific. Smart phones need to be accompanied by clear, legible, readable manuals or guides that show the specific features of a model. What you get is a great entry level smart phone that is spoiled by a lousy elcheapo "guide" that anyone over 35 cannot read without a good quality microscope.

The bottom line is a smart phone that is spoilt by a very poor manual and that is just plain lousy marketing.
