Engineering:Huawei Ascend G600
The Huawei Ascend G600 is an Android smartphone made by Huawei. It was released in 2012 during August.
Models
The phone comes in the following 4 different models, all supported by the Google Play Store:
- HUAWEI U8950N-1
- HUAWEI U8950N-51
- HUAWEI U8950-1
- HUAWEI U8950D
The first letter of each model is the network: U = UMTS (WCDMA) and C = CDMA. The last D stands for Dual Sim feature. Note that the U8950 G600 sold outside China, is single sim. C8950D is the CDMA dual sim version.
The HUAWEI U8950N-1 & HUAWEI U8950N-51 appear to be American / Australian models, while the HUAWEI U8950D is the Chinese model.
Specifications
Though the phone would be classed as 'mid range', its hardware and features allow it to fall into the upper range of mid range phones. So essentially, it just borderlines high range.

Rooting and Unlocking Bootloader
