| Bottom line | The Huawei Ascend Y is an inexpensive foray into
Android, but U.S. Cellular offers better phones at similar costs. | The Huawei Ascend II comes at an unbeatable price for an
Android smartphone, but the trade-off is getting lower-end features that sometimes underperform. | The Huawei Ascend is a well-priced prepaid starter smartphone for those who don't mind more-modest specs. |
