    We bought the huawei g600 yesterday at memoexpress megamall for 14,150php (only black available as of now) and i am very happy wd it! Below r my observations and the particular phone features i use.
    Pros:
    Classy looks and well-built body
    Touch screen very responsive
    Fast n super smooth browsing, esp Facebook, Twitter, Youtube n other websites (thru wifi)
    Vibrant screen
    No lag so far (bought an 8gb micro sd card) and phone is not yet filled wd so much apps, pics, music etc
    Ok camera and vid recording
    Clear call quality and fast receiving text mesgs
    Mid-range price for an Android

    Cons:
    The lowest setting for the volume is on the loud side
    Change network settings to 2g from 3g for better signal and battery life

    Why don’t they keep the same device name for all regions. Nakakalito tuloy. G600 na lang itawag nyo. Iba naman talaga ang Honor 2 na inannounce.

    What about LCD display for the price? Part of the reason why every Chinese and even Japanese competitor can’t beat Samsung…
