I'm Jessica's all court for CNN taking a first look today at the huawei ascend y for US cellular now this phone is basic android and it's running android 2.3 gingerbread so if you don't mind which version you have then this one could still be in the running it's very compact it's got only a 3.5 inch hvga screen so it's not going to be super bright and crisp but it will be just fine it's also a little small if you've got larger fingers you might find that the virtual keyboard is a little bit cramped in terms of the way that the phone looks it's actually pretty nice while we did a good job here sort of an accent on the back little design element and the finish is a little bit rubbery so it feels pretty gripa bowl camera specs are on the low side there's a 3.2 megapixel rear facing camera no flash no autofocus and no front-facing camera either so it's very simple I wasn't thrilled with photo quality so you don't want to ditch your standalone camera just yet there's an 800 megahertz processor in here it's probably okay for what you get with the phone the phone also comes with a 2 gigabyte memory card and there's an external slot that takes up to 32 gigs of memory phone has a little bit of a smaller battery so don't expect terrific life on this the pricing is really nice it will cost you only a penny in US cellular's 3g network area and will cost you 29 99 in the 4g area that is of course with a new two-year service agreement i'm personally not in love with this phone at all and i would recommend other options however if you are looking for an inexpensive starter android smartphone and you might want to check this one out I'm jessica's all core for CNN this is the huawei ascend y with US cellular you
