Design and Build Quality:
The first thing you will notice about Ascend G610 is that its big, though its not at all categorized as phablet but still its huge in size. The well-crafted phone body is entirely made of plastic and if I may speak frankly, despite the low price-tag, the Ascend G610 will give you a premium feel.

Huawei Ascend G610 dimensions are 142mm x 73.6mm and its 9.9mm thick, though a clever design on the back panel gives a lot thinner feel. The phone weighs 170 grams, which is heavier than any other Huawei phone except Ascend Mate.
The front side is dominated with a large 5-inch IPS LCD. Just in case if you don’t know the IPS screens are known for wider viewing angles.
Ascend G610 offers a Quarter-HD resolution of 960 x 540 pixels (220 ppi pixel density), which is almost similar to Ascend G510. The screen sharpness and color saturation is good but one may not term it as ideal.
The position of ear speaker makes it look like a part of the frame, other than that there are light sensors, notification’s LED and front facing camera along with Huawei logo above the screen. Below the screen we have the usual three touch sensitive keys.

It seems like Huawei is always experimenting with the position of USB port and headphones jack. Ascend G610 has 3.5mm headphones jack on the top and USB port along with mic on the bottom. The right side features power and volume rocker keys.

The phone comes in two colors Black and White, I am not sure if the black version has a matte finish but we have got the white one, which has a glossy plastic back plate.
The back features a 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with LED light and Huawei Logo beneath it. The speaker grille is placed on the bottom left.

Removing the back plate reveals two slots for normal (Mini) SIM cards and one for micro-SD Card along with Battery compartment. Just like the Ascend G510 the power and volume rocker keys are embedded in the back plate.

Operating System and EmotionUI:
Ascend G610 comes with Android Jelly Bean 4.2.1 out of the box with Huawei EmotionUI on top of it.
If you are new to Android or don’t like the fancy animations and flying/fading app drawers then you will love the EmotionUI. It puts all your apps, widgets and shortcuts on the main screen, you can arrange these items in folders on multiple screens — so its all easy and fun.
I think there’s no need to tell you that you can always install a custom launcher and use a theme of your own taste.
