Huawei Ascend G525 lands, sells for under Php7K

It seems that Huawei is taking a page out of the local brands’ game by releasing a competitively priced quad-core dual-SIM handset in the form of Huawei Ascend G525.

This smartphone has all the basic stuff that one would look for in a decent Android handset. That includes a 4.5-inch IPS display with qHD resolution, a pair of cameras placed on the back (5MP w/o flash) and on the front (VGA).

Handling the workload for this handset is the tandem of 1.2GHz processor quad-core processor and 1GB RAM. It comes with Android Jelly bean which takes up a good amount of the phone’s 4GB internal storage. Good thing though that the ROM can be expanded through a micro-SD card slot.

4.5-inch qHD display @960×540 pixels, 244ppi

    Try mo po kayang magdownload ng mga third party apps. Hindi kasi nyan supported ang flash eh.

    magandang araw po, ask ko lang kung may naeexperience kayong problems sa video playback? When i bought the phone i tried to access the net to watch movies and vids particularly livestream and recorded vids from shakeys v-league, to my surprise a quad-core phone cannot play these and even adobe flash player is not compatible. help naman po. i have a new dual-core alcatel soleil and it can do the job

    I’ve been using it for 3 days! Well, this phone really performs great!

    Pero ang pinaka draw back lang talaga nito is yung battery nya! Ang bilis malobat! Sa experience ko, from being full battery, it only takes 4 hours to drain when using the phone heavily with browsing, downloading apps and playing some games.

    So lagi nakaconnect sa charger :-(

    Sa ibang gumagamit nito kamusta ang experience nyo?

    Magandang brand ang Huawie..actually malakas sumagap ng signal.even wi-fi ang 3G.. sila ang maker/manufacturer ng nga broad band kagaya ng Smartbro/globe tattoo/sun cellular etc…at ang isa pa customer namin ang Huawie mataas ang standard nila lalo na sa quality.
    sa phone naman like ng phone ko ngayon na Huawie G525, masasabi kong maganda talaga…high speed. sa mga hindi nakakasiguro sa quality ng Huawie compare nyo na lang sa ibang brand.try nyo din..

      @ five-0 same din sakin sir, 12 hrs basta hindi HD games. heavy texting, few calls, heavy on wifi and moderate on games. may power saving app kasi na pre-installed. malaking tulong i think.
