The Huawei Ascend G600 is an Android smartphone made by Huawei. It was released in 2012 during August.

Models

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

'csfrank271' published an in-depth article on XDA developers about unlocking the bootloader and gaining root access. The rooting method, though only supposed to work for the U8950D, works perfectly fine on the U8950N-51 model too. The article can be found here:
