Huawei Ascend Y221

Display and Camera

Experience users will be able to tell that Huawei Ascend Y221 is an entry-level smartphone immediately on sighting it. The device packs a 3.5-inch display, which is the approximate screen size of most budget Android smartphones.

The touchscreen has a measly resolution of 480 x 320 pixels for a pixel density of 165 ppi. However, the display has G-sensor, an auto-rotate feature. Huawei Ascend Y221 has a 2 megapixels camera and that’s all! There is no secondary snapper.

Hardware and Software

In consonance with what is obtainable on some of its rivals, Huawei Ascend Y221 is powered by a dual-core MediaTek MT6572M processor with ARM Cortex A7 cores clocked at 1 GHz. Huawei claims this CPU delivers solid performance without consuming significant amount of power, meaning you should expect longer battery life.

The processor is paired with a Mali-400 GPU and low RAM of 512 MB. The Ascend Y221 runs on Android 4.4 KitKat operating system and that is one of its few bright spots. The software brings improved performance over its predecessors and put a number of great features at your fingertip.

Other Specs and Features

For connectivity, Huawei Ascend Y221 comes with Bluetooth, high speed microUSB and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot support. It also supports tethering, OTA sync and computer sync. The budget smartphone boasts dual-band 3G support for high speed connectivity.

Huawei Ascend Y221 is now available in Nigeria. You can buy it at leading online stores in Nigeria. Huawei Ascend Y221 price in Nigeria should range from 12,200 to 20,000 depending on your location in the country.
