Huawei Sonic Review

Huawei Sonic has an exceptional 3.5-inch capacitive touch display which is ideal for messaging, gaming and running various apps and also multimedia content. It is indeed commendable that Huawei Sonic feels good in hands despite of its plastic body. In a bid to make the handset affordable, no compromises have been made on the quality of its display. The design of Huawei Sonic is decent too. There are rounded edges for a firm grip and a chrome band around them for a classy look. In simple words, this otherwise simple handset looks much better than its ascendant, Huawei IDEOS X. Coming on to the software part of the Huawei Sonic, we have deciphered that it runs the latest version of Google's Android platform i.e. version 2.3 Gingerbread. There are five homescreens and the user-interface is a standard one only. While swiping between screens, cube animations look very appealing. While there are also toggles for connectivity features viz. Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, etc. It is interesting and also relieving that icons over the homescreen can be altered by downloading some apt launchers from the Android Market. This can be put to use particularly for refreshing the look of the interface. On the whole, the display and innovative UI of Huawei Sonic gives it a nice touch.

For saving data, Huawei Sonic can expand its on-board memory of barely 256 MB via a microSD card. Working on a modest single core processor rated at 600MHz processor, the Huawei Sonic manages to support multi-touch zooming which let users zoom in and out of some apps. There’s a high end app viz. Hi-Space cloud solution in the phone besides an app that takes the data backup and restores it from or on a microSD card. There are other goodies too as in a file manager, Documents to Go suite and a voice dialer. However, the processing power of Huawei Sonic is not high enough to support full-fledged web browsing and that is also due to lack of in built support for Adobe flash player. Consequently, Huwaei Sonic cannot load graphically intense websites.

Huawei Sonic smartphone is flexible whether it is its OS or its user interface and that is truly likeable. A Gingerbread OS-based Android device which is so affordably priced would definitely attract buyers particularly because of the fact that it has a nice set of features too. Huawei Sonic is going to be received well in the budget-constrained segment of mobile market. However, youth may be repelled with some of its poor features. For example, the camera unit of Huawei Sonic is poor. The 3.2-megapixels camera of Huawei Sonic also serves as a video recorder but it does not have flash. Its interface is also poor and devoid of any charm. This camera produces tacky results with plenty of image noise. It is a total put off for many buyers.

Overall Review

The Huawei Sonic is handset good for those who are keen on sticking to a low budget while wishing to owe an Android device.

It has a reasonable features list and at a very affordable price will give you taste of a unique smartphone experience. First time smartphone users and young teens can put their hands on Huawei Sonic despite of its limitations. For instance, it has a poor camera unit devoid of flash option. The menu icons of the device are actually a put off.

But on a positive note, we find Android features and the flexibility of this operating system in Huawei Sonic smartphone extremely likeable. Also, the 3.5 inch capacitive touch display and looks of the phone are enticing.

As far as the availability of the Huawei Sonic is concerned, there are no issues at all since the handset is readily available. It can be bought exclusively from retail stores viz. Big W, Woolworths and Dick Smith at minimalistic price of just 188 dollars.

User Interface and UI functionality

Huawei has given great regard to the significance of a good display and as such their latest device, the Huawei Sonic has a 3.5 inch capacitive touch display screen. The device is surely not capable of getting huge applause for its designing but it’s far from repulsive. Huawei Sonic looks decent and an upscale version of its predecessor also. Huawei had launched another smartphone, the Huawei IDEOS X1 prior to the launch of Huawei Sonic. But following the footprints of its ancestor, the Huawei Sonic has a complete plastic body. But there’s also a chrome band around its rounded edges, which is a good attempt to add a touch of class to this otherwise simple handset. The rounded edges of Huawei Sonic also make it quite comfortable to hold.

Huawei Sonic has a great feel attached to it because of its refurbished built and design. Users can easily use the standard and far more responsive four touch-sensitive shortcut keys below its display for the operations but sadly these aren't backlit. It goes to the credit of the makers that even at such a low price point, they have not let the display and design of the handset suffer.

The Huawei Sonic has an exceptionally good 3.5 inch capacitive touchscreen which is also large enough to comfortably type over it. The size and dimensions of the display are such that the handset remains proportionate. The resolution of the display is little low and stands at 320x480 pixels. This obviously implies that the text isn't as crisp as on other phones and so is the case with the picture quality. And so, the screen also has poor viewing angles which make it difficult to observe anything clearly in direct sunlight. Even otherwise, it is not one phone which can be compared to the phones with higher resolution screens with latest technologies.

The Huawei Sonic runs the latest version 2.3 'Gingerbread' of Google's Android platform but with a slightly standard Android interface. There are buttons which can let users see all the five home screens together. The live widgets remain and the cube animation is quite commendable particularly while swiping between screens. The toggles for Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, data and screen auto-rotate in the notifications drop down are also good.

Huawei has altered the look of the menu icons but they do not look good. Thankfully this scenario can be easily changed by downloading any launchers from the Android market that alter the look and feel of the interface.

Huawei Sonic's display is good enough for daily use and much likeable considering the home-screen innovations and the affordable price tag of the device.

Multimedia features

The 3.2-megapixel camera of Huawei Sonic doubles as a VGA video recorder. There is Android Music player in the phone too. However, one would not be particularly enticed with its multimedia features as they are not that good.

Pictures and Video quality

The camera and its interface are poor in case of Huawei Sonic and the camera of the phone is also devoid of flash. As a consequence, it is not possible to do low light photography with Sonic. The quality of the results produced by the camera is poor as they lack detail and there’s plenty of image noise too.

Internet support

The 600 MHz processor certainly restricts the processing power of Huawei Sonic and it therefore does not offer full flash support for Web browsing. It is very difficult for the Sonic to load graphically intense Web pages. The performance of the phone dampens while surfing Internet.

Internal and External Memory

The Huawei Sonic has a microSD card slot for extra data storage and that is located behind the rear battery cover. With limited internal memory and 256 MB RAM, the memory expansion is a definite plus point.

Applications and Gaming

The Huawei Sonic has a modest single core 600MHz processor but the handset easily manages to support multi-touch zooming. It implies that one can easily zoom in and out of certain apps.

Huawei has straightforward file manager, the Documents to Go suite, a voice dialer and an app to backup and restore the data contents of the phone to or from a microSD card. There’s also Hi-Space cloud solution app in the phone.

Battery Backup

Users will get enough battery life on their Huawei Sonic Android smartphone as the battery of the device is power-packed enough for a full day of use in most cases.

Connectivity Offered

The Huawei Sonic has good connectivity features as in there’s a GPS receiver, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The Sonic also offers full turn-by-turn navigation capabilities.

Compare

Micromax A70 is another budget Android smartphone making news. This phone sports a bit smaller (just a 3.2 inch) capacitive touch-screen display and runs the Google Android (Froyo v 2.2). There’s 5 megapixels autofocus camera (without flash) in Micromax A70 handset and it also has a front-facing VGA camera. This is quite a pleasant inclusion in its specs list which takes it a step ahead of Huawei Sonic. The Micromax A70 is also reasonably priced phone with some added features like 3G HSDPA 7.2 mbps, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Hotspot.

The Huawei Sonic is one good handset for those who are keen on sticking to a low budget while wishing to owe an Android device. It has reasonable features list and at a very affordable price will give you taste of a unique smartphone experience. First time smartphone users and young teens can put their hands on Huawei Sonic despite of its limitations. For instance, it has a poor camera unit devoid of flash option.
