huawei e5151

Huawei's newest iteration of their pocket WiFi is slightly different from the previous ones. The E5151 comes with a built-in LAN port just in case you want to hook it up to a wired line. In my previous foreign trips, I would always bring with me a Huawei pocket WiFi and a portable WiFi router (like this one). The Huawei E5151 solves that problem by incorporating a full-sized LAN port into the pocket WiFi. The E5151 has a removable Li-Ion battery that lasts about 5 hours on a full single charge (uses a micro-USB port for charging via laptop or wall socket). The device is a bit chunkier than the usual pocket WiFis from Huawei, probably because of the LAN port (92.8×63.5×16.3mm dimension). However, you can download the iOS or Android app to allow you to manage the settings and monitor resources like signal, battery life and number of connected devices (in this case, the E5151 supports up to 10). We still don't have an idea about pricing and local availability but we'll update this post once we get info from Huawei Philippines (some online stores peg it at $186).
