About this deal

Open a command prompt from start menu with admin rights(if windows ask about rights just press YES). Importantly, the Y550 supports the 800MHz band as well as the 1800MHz 2600MHz bands. This means it can be used with any UK 4G network. Some phones not specifically designed for use in the UK leave out 800MHz, which rules-out getting 4G on Tesco, O2 and GiffGaff. Information about the height, i.e. the vertical side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation.

In our video loop test, which involves playing an MP4 video on look until the battery drains down to nothing, the Huawei Ascend Y550 lasted for 12 hours 15 minutes. That’s a fantastic result for a phone this cheap, beating everything we’ve reviewed in this class to date. Selfies suffer from quite a lot of chromatic aberration, but they’re clearly a cut above naff VGA camera shots. Other than 4G, the Huawei Ascend Y550 keeps its connectivity features pretty basic. There’s no NFC or an IR transmitter, but Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-FI are all present as usual. A hardware cut that’s more an issue, albeit a predictable one, is the 4GB of internal storage. While we’ve happily used an 8GB phone like the Moto G for months without complaint, 4GB is far more restrictive. It leaves you with insufficient space to install some data-hungry games as soon as you bite into the storage left after the preinstalled apps and system software has nibbled away at the 4GB you’ll see on the Huawei Ascend Y550’s spec list. In this case that storage is 1.1GB.The phone’s Android 4.4.4 software doesn’t offer native support for the Huawei Ascend Y550’s 64-bit goodness either – fingers crossed the phone will get an official update to Android 5.0 Lollipop, although there’s no word on this. Given the phone’s price, though, the current benchmark performance is pretty impressive already.

A CPU core is the processor unit, which executes software instructions. Presently, besides single-core processors, there are dual-core, quad-core, hexa-core and so on multi-core processors. They increase the performance of the device allowing the execution of multiple instructions in parallel. In some respects, the Huawei Ascend Y550 is a strange mishmash of old and new. Old-style screen resolution, but new processor brains. This seem to do its battery life a world of good.

How to install Huawei Ascend Y550 Y550-L01 firmware

talk time is the time period a battery charge will last, if one is constantly talking on the phone in a 3G cellular network. The Huawei Ascend Y550 uses physical soft keys, rather than building them into the software and taking up part of the screen. They don’t light up for easier use in the dark, but this is common among cheaper phones. Windows 10 users should additionally go into c:\Windows\inf and search for the file " wpdmtp.inf". Press the right button on it and select INSTALL talk time is the time period a battery charge will last, if one is constantly talking on the phone in a 2G cellular network. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) The SAR rating shows the amount of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the human body when using a mobile device, expressed in W/kg. Head SAR (EU)

Install ADB mini with Fastboot tools to get all needed tools and rest of ADB drivers that are required. Strangely enough, it’s actually the front camera that stands out among its peers while the rear one is rather bog-standard. Huawei Ascend Y550 – Battery Life The L2 (level 2) cache memory is slower than L1, but has a larger capacity, instead, which allows it to cache more data. Just like L1, it is much faster than the system memory (RAM). If the CPU does not find the data needed in L2, it proceeds to look for them in the L3 cache memory (if there is such) or in the RAM. Getting a bit more internal storage is one of the most convincing reasons to consider upgrading to a slightly more expensive phone, like the Moto G for example.Product ID(unique for every phone name)and Serial Number you can get it from the phone service menu. Battery The batteries of mobile devices differ in capacity and technology. They provide the electrical charge needed for the functioning of the devices. Capacity The phone has a 2000mAh battery, which is a pretty solid unit for a smaller phone like this. While we’re yet to see how all that many 2015-generation chipset phones perform in stamina terms, the Huawei Ascend Y550 is a sign of a longer-lasting future. This SAR rating shows the maximum level of exposure to electromagnetic radiation taken when the device is placed next to the ear. The applicable limit for the US is 1.6 W/kg per 1 g of tissue. In the US the FCC tests and sets the SAR limits for all mobile devices, which are controlled by the CTIA.

Information about the width, i.e. the horizontal side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation.Information about the electric current (amperes) and voltage (volts) the charger outputs. The higher power output allows faster charging. Information about the process technology used in manufacturing the chip. The value in nanometers represents half the distance between elements that make up the CPU.
