Comparing the Huawei Ascend Y330 vs DL700 aka Alcatel One Touch Pop C3 – Heralds for another Budget Smartphone, the DL800

The JA$4,999 Huawei Ascend Y330 smartphone was previously on sale from Wednesday May 28th 2014 to Friday May 30th 2014 as show in the advertisement below.


However, based on a good source from within a Call Center, this iconic smartphone will be going on sale once more in a Game of Phones. This sale is slated to start on Tuesday July 1st 2014, the Official Start of Summer 2014 as predicted in my blog article entitled “LIME JA$4999 Huawei Y330 and Digicel's JA$100 2 Day Data Plans - Voice and Data Summer War as CET Removal coming on July 1st 2014”.

If you’ve glossed over that article, you’d have seen the two (2) adverts. If you’ve read my blog article on the Telecom Provider Digicel’s DL700 aka Alcatel One Touch Pop C3 entitled “Digicel has launched the DL700, an upgrade to the DL600 on Friday December 6th 2013 - The Alcatel One Touch Pop C3 is Digicel’s latest Unicorn that may be harder to catch”, you’d have seen the specs for their offering, which weighs in at JA$8,760 Prepaid and JA$10,950 Postpaid.

So what are the specs of Telecom Provider LIME’s JA$4999 Huawei Ascend Y330? I recently took one out for a spin here in Milk River Clarendon and albeit it’s clearly plastic, it’s got some features, based on comments by Milk River peeps, that make it stand out.

First I’ll put up a table comparing the Specs of Telecom Provider LIME’s JA$4999 Huawei Ascend Y330 to Telecom Provider Digicel’s DL700 aka Alcatel One Touch Pop C3 as gleaned from GSM Arena.

Clearly both these smartphones are equally matched. In fact, they’re basically offering the same level of performance. The main difference is price, the main point that was expressed in my blog article entitled “JA$4999 Huawei Ascend Y330 vs JA$7599 Digicel DL700 Game of Phones - Tablets to drop on Emancipation and Independence Day in a Game of Phones”.

As for that standout feature that Milk River peeps, a rough and tumble, football and Domino loving set love about the Huawei Ascend Y330? It doesn’t overheat like the DL700, which also freezes often and has to restarted whenever this happens. Albeit both are basically running Google Android Jellybean, Huawei’s integration of the OS with their hardware is better, never mind the smaller Camera.

Who will win the War for the Iron Throne come Tuesday July 1st 2014 in this Game of Phones? Will it be the Telecom Provider Digicel’s DL700 aka Alcatel One Touch Pop C3 or the Telecom Provider LIME’s JA$4999 Huawei Ascend Y330? Or will Digicel roll out a new Budget smartphone to compete, possibly a version of their Branded smartphone, the DL800?
