Anyone heard of Huawei W2?? Is it good?

[Doris Pan]

My friend is using Huawei P6 and it is just amazing...

I heard this brand also has Windows Phone and I am thinking to buy one.

Anyone heard of this phone? Is it good??

Here's the links they posted on their FB page. Anyone can provide a suggestion??

I don't think it is available yet. You might want to check this forum. I'm sure people will post more information once they actually buy this device.

It is a great budget device, but I would suggest the 520, 620, 625, 720, or 820, as those are better budget phones. The Nokia updates and exclusive apps are amazing.

I don't believe it is sold in the US, so those of us who live in the US will not be familiar with the brand.

Actually, Huawei is present in the US, mainly in the prepaid sector for smartphones. High end models (like the P6) have not been made available in the USA, which could explain why people see them as throw away (i.e cheap) phones. They have sold a sizable chunk of W1 phones, the previous model. Though if you are in the US, getting a 520/521would be around half the price, plus a few exclusive apps. Outside the US, prices for the W2 and 520 should be similar, and it would be best to test both phones to see which one you like best. Even the W2 has a few nice exclusive features, such as the changing color for the capacitive buttons and being able to clear temporary files (something not found on a similar 520). Either way, getting a WP8 phone is a great option!

I was actually referring to the P6 when I said I didn't think it was sold in the US.

Oh alright. It's because I thought that brand referred to Huawei in general, and wanted to make sure the OP was well-informed about that company.

I actually have a Huawei w2 and a Nokia 720.

Using bench marking apps the Huawei is better than the Nokia.
The screen quality is better on the Nokia since it's true black technology.
The Huawei doesn't have flash and the camera on the Nokia is better.
The touch and the speed is much better on the Huawei phone.
Battery last longer on the Huawei phone

So if you don't care about the camera which is not bad I would suggest the Huawei W2
