Huawei doesn't want to be left behind in the Android race in Indonesian market. One of its offer is the Boulder U8350 Android phone with QWERTY keyboard. Seems like its designed for chatting and social networking.Seeing the internal specifications, this is a minimum offer from Huawei. The main Processor is only based on ARM 11 running on 600 MHz without special GPU to render 3D and very limited on Android internal renderer.
So, do not expect to play any complex game on this Huawei smartphone.
Despite the above, Huawei Boulder U8350 is more than enough for standard usage such as social networking app, office app, and minimum games. What's more, the user interaction is also increased because of the touch-screen capacitive display.
The display is considered moderate with 320 x 240 resolution. Image quality isn't seems to be the main focus.
The battery is standard, but an extra battery is included in the package.
The main flaw in this smartphone is its performance. Test result showed that it doesn't have the ability for complex rendering.
At least, Huawei Boulder U8350 supports all the features in Android OS.
