5 Pros of the Huawei Ascend Android Smartphone

The Huawei Ascend is a budget pre-paid smartphone available via MetroPCS, but although it's a low-priced smartphone, the Huawei Ascend packs quite few features that make it a worthy purchase.

Vivid 3.5 inch Display

The touchscreen display of a smartphone is where all the action happens and takes precedence over virtually any other feature on any smartphone. When it comes to advanced touchscreen displays, the Huawei Ascend doesn't disappoint at all and features a 3.5 inch HVGA touchscreen display that's vibrant, responsive, and makes for a better experience on this budget prepaid smartphone.

SWYPE Keyboard

In addition to having a vivid and responsive touchscreen, the Huawei Ascend also features a touchscreen keyboard with SWYPE capabilities. SWYPE technology makes typing, texting, composing emails, social networking, instant messaging, and browsing the internet a lot easier than standard touchscreen keyboards and is bound to save lots of valuable time (and headaches) in the long run.

Durable Build and Form Factor

Not only is the Huawei Ascend a stylish and modern looking smartphone, but it provides a very durable form factor and build '" especially considering its low asking price. Most budget or prepaid cell phones are made cheaply and will likely break after taking a fall, and while I don't recommend dropping the Huawei Ascend, it's durable form factor seems to indicate that it can take a little bit of punishment.

Great Call Quality

Cell phones of olden times only provided one function, making calls, and although modern cell phones have put an emphasis on being do-it-all gadgets (usually by sacrificing call quality), the Huawei Ascend's call quality is one of its most raved about features. With lots of cheap prepaid phones with poor call quality on the market, the Huawei Ascend fairs well with great call quality and great reception.

Great Prepaid Phone Option

Ranging between $50-$100 (depending on the promotion), the Huawei Ascend proves to be a great option for prepaid phone enthusiasts that are looking for a great smartphone while avoiding hefty phone bills. With its great apps, low price, vivid touchscreen display, and great hardware, the Huawei Ascend is one of the best prepaid phones on the market.
