Huawei have decided to move against the flow of MT6577
phone and have decided to spec the new
Huawei G510 with a
qualcomm dual-core chip.
Mediatek may have the dual-core (and possibly quad-core) low-cost
market segment sewn up in
China, but the
CPU does have its issues. Numerous complaints of users not getting quality GPS signal and lack of
international support for chips like the MT6577 make them only really usable here in
China.
Fortunately not all
Chinese brands are contact with the
Chinese market alone, and want to grab themselves a share of the
international smartphone
market.
Huawei's latest dual-core phone, the Huawei G510, could be a great option for international buyers looking for a low-cost Chinese phone, but without sacrificing performance.
Rather than using the popular MT6577 dual-core CPU,
Huawei have chosen a Qualcomm 1.2Ghz
CPU. Full specification is not yet available but the
phone does get a
4.5 inch display, 1700mAh battery and runs
Android 4.0.4.
For those of you interested in the G510 be sure to check that the version you are looking at is in fact the Qualcomm model, as
Huawei have also launched a
China Mobiile specific MT6577 model with just 512mb
RAM for the local
Chinese market.
