Huawei Ascend G730 Review

Huawei Ascend G730 is a giant phone. This dual SIM phablet with giant 5.5-inch screen comes with a very affordable price, so if you are looking for such a device, with the intent not to spend too much money, check the lines below about this new Huawei. The quick look on specs, tells us Huawei Ascend G730 belongs to the middle class, where there are already many similar models, such as the Alcatel One Touch Pop C7 and LG G Pro Lite Dual. This is a solid device that doesn’t offer anything spectacular, but all user requirements take very serious and it costs low. Wining combination? Let’s look together.

Huawei Ascend G730 Design

Unlike the Ascend P7 or Ascend G6, Huawei Ascend G730 doesn’t have a lot of things to offer when it comes to aesthetics. Packaged in a decent plastic suit, Huawei Ascend G730 is actually tempting. The front side reassembles the Samsung's models, and the slightly larger thickness of 9.6 mm makes him little chubby, even a little awkward. Despite major dimensions, the device doesn’t seem hard to use (due to the big screen) and it’s not a problem holding it in one hand. Beside it has only 180g in weight.

Huawei Ascend G730 Screen

Despite the low price, Huawei Ascend G730 has a large 5.5-inch IPS display with a very well presented colors and great viewing angles, which is very important. Otherwise, it would be a shame to make a device with such a large screen that you must look solely on 90 degrees angle. The resolution is not bad too. With 960x540 pixels Huawei has reached the demands of the middle class. The screen has a very high level of brightness, so we didn’t see any major problems using the device outdoors. However, in direct sunlight, there is a reflection that hinders the readability of the screen. Also, the sharpness of the image and its purity were also a pleasant surprise.

Huawei Ascend G730 Specs and Performance

Somehow it seems that the G730 doesn’t intend to stand out of the crowd. Quite slowly Ascend G730 reveals its potentials. Firstly, the device runs on a quad-core MediaTek processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz in combination with 1GB of RAM. This configuration is sufficient for most apps, which can’t be said for most modest 4GB of internal memory, of which, when you start the phone, there is only 2GB available. However, you can purchase microSD card and increase the memory. Phone or phablet, how do you like better, runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system with distinctive and visually appealing Emotion UI, which guarantee a pleasant and easy to work. This is a dual SIM device and this feature is nice integrated. Thanks to the big screen, the numbers in the dialer are large and easy to find. However, it’s interesting and somewhat strange why Huawei decided the first SIM slot to be reserved for standard SIM card, while the other is designed for micro SIM card. As a result, you only one SIM port provides access to the 3G network. When it comes to playing games, many of you will opt for this phone because of the big screen. The screen responds to touch and therefore is suitable for games, but to those more demanding, the level of detail must be kept to a minimum.

Huawei Ascend G730 Camera

The Huawei’s phablet has two cameras. It comes with front-facing VGA cam, which gives a low quality photos. The main camera is much better and comes with a resolution of 5MP with LED flash, but it doesn’t give significantly better results. Just a sunny day photos can be nicely done. When the brightness goes down, the photos get more noise, and there is a lot of dark areas.

Huawei Ascend G730 Battery Life

The problem for the big screen models is high energy consumption. With maximum use, and hence the battery draining, Huawei Ascend G730 can hold about 4-5 hours. But if you use your phone sparingly, then the battery life can be extended over the entire day. Generally, the phone holds battery very good, so the one charge per day is quite enough.

Huawei Ascend G730 Conclusion

In making the final score we should start from a large, bright and decent quality 5.5-inch screen. In combination with two SIM slots, Ascend G730 is one of many such devices that come to us from Huawei and other less established manufacturers. Also, solid battery life is another trump card up his sleeve, and enough smooth performances. Of course, the Huawei Ascend G730 is not a big-budget device, which has to be equally good in all aspects, so it lacks the strength of the speaker, the more pixels in front-facing camera etc. However, Huawei Ascend G730 is a good phablet and very affordable, but even he has enough alternatives worth looking for and after which you can make a decision of buying some.
