Background and Identification

The Huawei Ascend Y600 Android smartphone was produced by Huawei as part of the Huawei Ascend series. It was released in June 2014 under the model number Y600-U20 in black and white colors.

The Huawei Ascend Y600 features a 5.0-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 480 by 854 pixels and a screen-to-body ratio of 64-percent. It includes 4 GB of internal storage and 512 MB of RAM. The phone has a dedicated microSDHC card slot to expand the phone’s internal storage. The Ascend Y600 includes a 5-megapixel main camera and a VGA (Video Graphics Array) selfie camera. A VGA camera is equivalent to a 0.3-megapixel camera. The Ascend Y600 includes a 2100 mAh removable battery, meaning its battery's adhesive is not permanent, making repair and replacement easier than for non-removable batteries.

The Huawei Ascend Y600 includes the name “Huawei” in capital letters in the center of the phone’s top bezel. The phone also includes Android’s three-button navigation system, which includes a “back” button (indicated with an arrow on the left side of the bottom bezel), a “home” button in the center of the phone’s bottom bezel, and a “show-all-open-applications” button (indicated by a rectangle on the right side of the phone’s bottom bezel).
