Best first or beginner'so smart phone.
And this is a SMART phone.
Android is easy to learn and operate.
Especially compared with Windows.
So, if you couldn't use a smart phone before, you can now!
Get a good deal though as the newer models are also well under $100.
Even new!

For its price it is a fantastic phone. Underrated for its capabilities and most people are put off by the cheap price.

I have dropped this phone face first onto concrete and on its edge. No cracked screen and still works.

Mine is locked to Optus on the 4G network and I have had no issues with it.

For the price you can't go wrong.

Worth much more than I had to pay. This one is locked to Telstra and gets a tick for country use. It is 4GX and also works on the 3G network. All the apps work well and there is a button that turns off apps that are not being used so it stays fast. After 2 years you can unlock Telstra phones FREE. The 5 MP camera works well and you can take landscape or as small as ants. The keyboard works well for me. The voice and transmit sound is OK too.

This is a reliable fine very fast stat up presentation is very good .phone powerful.The battery last a long time and recharges up fast.The phone is priced reasonably good.It's multi function are great such as WiFi hotspot function and Bluetooth function .This fone is reliable and should last a long time if it is looked after.

This phone is great value for money, simple and easy to use and has heaps of the features the more expensive phones do. The battery lasts forever which is great when working making business calls and sending emails and it has fantastic rural coverage. I love this phone so much I bought my Mum one too. I can not fault this phone and recommend it highly.

This is a very easy phone to use, has a great big screen, and great price i love it, if i had to buy another phone it would be this one, as i have had no trouble at all, and would have no hesitation in recomending it to any one who was planing on buying a phone

bought 2 of these online from Telstra shop as local shop had sold out, phone is excellent quality although battery has to be recharged daily if i use it a lot, glass screensaver is not advisable as not sensitive enough but plastic ones work fine, highly recommend this phone as we have had no problems so far.

-Within 12months the phone has been returned 3 times as it will not charge or turn on.
-Again after the phone not turning it was returned for repair. The phone has a very small crack in the screen. So Huawei, will not authorise repairs if there is any damage.
-Huawei have advised "as the phone was bought through Telstra then Telstra provide the warranty to repair and therefore I have to go back to Telstra."
-Even though I have the box with the 24month warranty slip from Huawei.
I stated the crack would not be an issue or be in for repair if the phone was not faulty.

I have one and it has taken me 3 months to get to know how to get around it and change the ring tones I still have a lot to learn but you cannot loose it in your bag, and I am very happy with it charges up quickly and it's life is 5-6 days before recharging,the Face is as big or small as you want and the photo resolution is exceptionally clear, once you have used a Huawei you won't want any other .

I have travelled over seas and took lots of great photos ..Great screen ...But sticks occasionally ...Very good price ...A s good as any Samsung ..Screen seems to hold up better to scratching ....Screen is a good size and very clear ...I would not swap unless it was another huawei

great cheap phone.up there with the brand names and speed of phone is very good.most impressive phone for the price.well done.very similar to Samsung galaxy,and can not tell them apart with performance.battery life is on par with all other leading brands.this brand needs to be promoted more to keep the competitors honest.great phone,great price,great performance

I lost my previous phone, needed a replacement I could afford so a Huawei Y560. It does everything I want, phone calls, SMS, email, internet surfing, pics and videos, limitless Apps easily and quickly for less than $150. I watch my grandchildren with their IPhones and don't feel I have been left behind when it comes to a mobile phone.

From the beginning, I found this phone annoying, to say the least. It if far too touch sensitive, if that's possible. For instance, when scrolling down the list of contacts, if you go too slowly, it stops on someone you don't want --go too fast and it whizzes straight past..All the settings seem awkward, and getting rid of unwanted messages is a pain. Avoid at all costs!

Thought I was doing the right thing by buying this mobile for my husband for his birthday - wrong! He has not stopped complaining about it since. It is bulky to use, keyboard is so touchy and he is a male with tradie fingers and is all thumbs! I was told it was sooooo easy, and it's not. I am upgrading my IPhone 5 to a 7 in next few weeks and in ordeer to save my marriage, will give hubby the 5 and put the Huawei in the cupboard where it belongs. As the old saying goes - you get what you pay for!

poor visibility of screen, poor volume settings, message notification hard to get rid of, general settings are just to messy to set up, overall the worst phone i have purchased, one thing tht does work well for me is camera but as I wanted a phone not a camera its apain

Problems from the start. It is hard to find and manage settings. From day 2 I have had a message notification that I simply can't get rid of. Today I want to find call blocking, and it's not there. There doesn't seem to be much help via google and the manual is next to useless. Save yourself a lot of frustration and buy another brand.

It just isn't fast at anything and quite often gets stuck between tasks or apps - I hate it.

Poor visibility on screen in daylight.

Camera is hopeless. Many blurry shots and low output quality.

Ignore using the bundled or associated software as it is simply confusing.

But! ... it is/was cheap to buy and I guess cannot complain therefore.
