The only major drawback that I can think of, and that could probably change your mind in getting this, is that it’s still stuck on an ageing version of Android (4.0.4). Nevertheless, we still think that Ascend D1 Quad XL is a viable option if you’re in the market for an affordable quad-core smartphone from a reputable brand.

Doesn’t Huawei upgrade their phones firmware? It’s a good unit. But why is it still on ICS? A JB fw of 4.1 should already be running.

Dapat isara na lang itong comment section, kasi wala namang nagmomoderate. Kung hindi troll posts, spam messages lang nababasa ko. Mabibilang lang sa daliri ang mga worthwhile na comments.

for those who don’t mind having just ics intalled, and isn’t comfortable flashing custom roms, this is a very good choice. from the design, the hardware to the display. If I am not mistaken. I believe it scored 15,500 plus on the Antutu.

I bought the phone when I read this post. The specs and performance is ok even if it’s on ICS. But it would definitely have a performance boost if Huawei will push JB on this handset.

Just bought one. Ok naman siya, sulit talaga sa price na 8k. Naupdate ko na din sa Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and ok naman yung ROM, so far wala pko naencounter na problems. Ang hindi ko lang gusto eh yung UI ng Menu, para siyang UI ng LG, boring tignan. Pero in terms of performance naman ayos na ayos siya. Package also came with 1 year service and parts warranty kaya no worries na din khit pano.

Bought this unit yesterday in MemoExpress SM Pampanga for 7990petot only and all i can say is this phone rocks regardless of its very low price! Daig pa niya halos lahat ng ng 12-15k priced midranged phones XSP lang yata makakapantay. It scored 16000+++ for 10x in different intervals in Antutu Out-of-box. Say, What!? Kapalit ng binenta kong note3 na monstrous sa laki hirap ibulsa. :)

Was able to update to JB ROM B608. This unit is really worth it!
