As a customized mobile phone from China Unicom, this mobile phone supports the WCDMA network. What is the specific performance of this mobile phone? Let me tell you one by one?

Huawei U8220 front

Let’s talk about the appearance first. Huawei U8220 has a rounded shape. The four corners of the fuselage are rounded and feel very comfortable. The curvature of the back is also designed to conform to the design. Ergonomic lines, comfortable to hold in hand. The machine uses a straight touch screen design, so the screen occupies most of the front area of ??the fuselage. The black body looks noble and low-key, but it is still too large for female users.

The back of Huawei U8220 fuselage

Let’s take a look at the details around the fuselage. The overall thickness of the machine is thin, so the buttons arranged around the body are also slim. There are volume keys on the upper right side of the fuselage and camera shortcut keys on the lower side. It also supports the landscape mode of the right-hand single-handheld device. Users can quickly enter the photo interface, making it convenient to take photos at any time.

The top of the fuselage is equipped with a microUSB interface and a 3.5mm headphone jack, both of which are mainstream configurations. It is worth mentioning that Huawei U8220 is equipped with a dust cover above the interface. Compared with other mainstream mobile phones, the workmanship of this machine appears to be relatively fine.

Upper fuselage

As mentioned earlier, Huawei U8220 is equipped with Google Android operating system, version 1.5. The interface style is the traditional Android system style, mainly based on sliding operation, and the icon design is also very cute. The desktop is equipped with a pattern unlock method, which can effectively protect the user's privacy. In addition, the desktop has a high degree of freedom. Users can place their commonly used applications on the desktop in the form of shortcuts.

In terms of calls, the phone’s address book does not support reading directly from the SIM card. Users need to set the contact information into the phone to make calls and send text messages conveniently. The dialing keyboard is also relatively traditional, and the Android robot icon during a call is also very cute. Of course, if you set an avatar for your contact, the contact's avatar will be displayed here when you call.

In terms of text messages, the machine supports the third-party Sogou Pinyin input method, and the received text messages are arranged in a conversational manner. Here I want to tell you a little trick, which is to use the MENU key flexibly. You will find that after entering any interface, press the MENU key to bring up the menu and implement many functions.

In terms of taking pictures, this machine has no outstanding strengths. The 3.2-megapixel configuration is relatively weak among most mainstream mobile phones on the market, but it can still be used for simple daily photography needs. Satisfied. The machine supports the adjustment of white balance and photo effects.

In terms of multimedia functions, the built-in player of the machine has 4 list methods: artist, album, song and playlist. It can display album cover and other related information, and supports random play, loop play and background play. Press the MENU key to call up the menu and set the currently playing music as ringtone. The machine is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a mobile phone that can replace MP3.

In the media library, the machine displays pictures and videos to users in the form of folders, and browses thumbnails with sliding methods, which is very consistent with our daily usage habits.

In terms of other functions, the machine is equipped with more commonly used functions such as calendar, alarm clock, calculator, and recorder. In addition, the machine is also equipped with Google Talk, Google Maps and other functions. Among them, the built-in "electronic market" is the biggest highlight. Users can enter the electronic market to download applications or interesting games for free. But it should be noted that the games provided in the "Electronic Market" are relatively large, so you need to pay attention to the traffic when downloading. The editor said that after downloading 12 games, the data usage was 40Mb. This number is still scary. However, the built-in games are very interesting, and interested friends can give it a try.

In terms of hardware configuration, Huawei U8220 uses Qualcomm 7201 processor with a running frequency of 528MHz and a running memory of about 100MB, which ensures the smooth operation of the system.

UCWEB7 Internet experience

In order to test the Internet function of the mobile phone, we chose the UCWEB 7.0 version. Friends who are familiar with UC will definitely feel the way UC used to display the interface, with cute Instead, the little squirrel no longer uses the UCEWB+number style. You can indeed feel the more humane characteristics of UC. In terms of user interface, UC still inherits its previous advantages and continues to use the navigation category menu. But when it comes to the function selection menu, I personally think Android’s design is more beautiful. Below is a screenshot of the function menu. Although we can already agree with the previous style, small changes will give users a completely new experience.

UC's page browsing capability is quite powerful. Although it is limited by the mobile phone screen when browsing pages, it is still very easy to browse www sites. In the setting options, there will be There are options for zoom mode and screen adaptation mode, which you can choose according to your own preferences. The UC can also be adjusted in terms of reading methods.

We see that the interface on the Android system is more gorgeous than other versions. A lot of content has been preset on the UC7.0 browser in advance. Just click the MENU button on the phone. , a detailed function menu will pop up. Modification methods for basic functional applications can be found here. The powerful functions of the new version of UC Browser combined with the 3G network are really eye-catching.

In terms of connection function, Huawei U8220 supports both Bluetooth and WIFI connections. Users can go to places with WIFI networks and download games in the electronic market without paying. This is still very enjoyable.

The machine is equipped with a 1500 mAh battery, which is currently the largest capacity configuration on the market. However, it is still insufficient for the large screen of Huawei U8220, and users need to prepare an additional spare battery. Usually mobile phones with Android system are more playable, so they also consume more power.

Summary

As the brand’s first mobile phone with Android operating system, Huawei U8220 performs quite well. Coupled with rich expansion functions and WIFI connection functions, it is definitely a mobile phone with high playability. The phone also supports the WCDMA network, the most stable 3G network in China at present. It is a phone worth buying and using.
