HUAWEI SCL Smartphone FAQs 

 

 

70/82 

2.31 How does the status indicator work? 

 

Blinking: There are unread messages or missed calls.   

 

On: The phone is connected to a USB cable to a charger.   

 

Red: The battery level is low. 

Orange: The battery level is medium. 

Green: The battery level is higher than 90%.   

2.32 Can I use other power adapters than the provided one 
to charge my phone? 

Yes. Your phone has a charging protection circuit. Nevertheless, it is recommended that you 
use the power adapter provided with your phone, because non-standard power adapters may 
generate excessive current that shortens your battery's life span or insufficient current that 
prolongs the charging time. 

2.33 

What are the features of my phone?

 

 

LTE 4G high-speed downloads up to 150 Mbit/s (For whether your phone supports LTE, see 
the specifications.)   

Fashionable ID design: Ultra-thin body, three-segment design, middle frame with metallic 
coating, 3D fading texture on the rear cover, and multiple color options for the rear cover   

5-inch 720p full-laminated on-cell screen   

1 GB RAM and quad-core high-speed CPU (For details about the storage, see the 
specifications.)   

8 MP+2 MP HD cameras with SmartFace algorithm   

Screen off gestures   

Integrated sound chamber, broadband large-power receiver, realistic reproduction of the 
human voice   

Latest Android version (5.1) and latest EMUI version (3.1)
