We recently saw leaked shots (via PC Magazine) of a Huawei Glory to hit Cricket with a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, an 8MP camera, front-facing camera, and a 854×480 TFT display. The device will come running the Gingerbread flavor Android, also known as Android 2.3, and rumored possibility of immediate Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade upon release of the update. The number of specifications we know will be coming to the device is petite, but from what we know now the device specifications fit those of almost every popular Android device on the market right now.Tech Higlights[I]

Hardware wise I'm sure you guys did the comparisons and knows the bang-for-buck factor. "How is the actual user experience?" was on my mind.
Answer is: Very good, I think Huawei spent a lot of time on this phone.
*When you hold it in your hands, it rightly, feels like a solid phone. There's no plastic-iky feel (it is made of plastic though); tapping at the touchscreen and tapping at the backcover sounds the same
*Uber fast bootup. It fully boot up before I counted to 6. It turns out Huawei have some sort of Deep Sleep Hibernation feature in it.
*The launcher (AHome) and the pre-installed apps are ok, nothing to shout about. It is a Google phone, so lots of native Google apps.
*Supposingly Huawei will provide 16GB of cloud storage for Honor devices. I'll check that part out later.
- The camera is not as fantastic as the rest though
Summary: Midrange phone @ amazing price.
