Huawei Y360 budget Android smartphone comes full circle (hands-on)

If you want an all-round cheap phone, then circle back to the Huawei Y360. It’s super-cheap, although the specs won’t spin you in a circle.

OK, I’m out of 360-degree jokes, I promise. Exact prices have yet to be confirmed for the Y360, but Chinese manufacture Huawei tells us it will cost less than £100 in the UK. Huawei hasn’t confirmed which countries will see the Y360 or how much it will cost internationally, but a direct conversion of that British price suggests it could be less than $150 or AU$200.

For your money you get a relatively low-power 1.2GHz quad-core processor with a measly 512MB of RAM. There’s 4GB of storage built-in, some of which will be taken up by the software, but you can add extra leg room by slotting in a microSD memory card.

The 4-inch, 854×480-pixel screen gives you 244 pixels per inch. That’s a pretty low resolution, so this isn’t the phone if you want to spend lots of time watching movies, videos and games. The phone we laid hands on wasn’t a working sample, so we can’t comment on how the screen looks. In terms of pixel density at least, it’s slightly better than its 4G LTE sibling the Y635, which has the same number of pixels but on a bigger screen.
