Around the back of the phone is a 5-megapixel camera, which is about all you can expect on a budget phone. Why you'd need a dedicated app for that, rather than just the button on the side of the phone is a mystery only Huawei can answer. Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year.

The display resolution shows the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. I was also impressed by the “do not disturb” feature, which you can schedule and add certain “important” contacts to. If you’re prepared to have a quick fiddle with the options and you’re not fussed on camera or screen quality then, perhaps if you can get a good deal, it could be worth a punt.It’s an iPhone-style approach, but means you need to be a bit more careful about curating your Y550 than most phones.
