Huawei Ideos X5 - Pros & Cons

feels pleasant to hold and sturdy to boot
better sound performance and enhancement
the build quality is quite good and the software (vanilla Android
fast and silky smooth
great feedback and easy to use when holding
The battery life is quite good when compared to other Android handsets

Wi-Fi adapter in the phone
The earpiece speaker was a bit crackly on some calls
an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network
There is no media sharing app or HDMI output on the X5
Needless to say it s not fixed
resistive screen really is frustrating
is sound quality of speakers and call quality
Their limits are far too tiny and useless
The video quality might not be top-notch
many colours will result in distortion and blurring
it took a bit of time before the battery was broken in
The camera has a nasty habit of over compensating
it's a fingerprint magnet
Low level light photographs are no different
