The Huawei Ascend G510 is promising a big screen experience at a low price point as the Chinese firm looks to tie up the bottom end of the smartphone market with an onslaught of new devices.Playing big brother to the Ascend Y300 which shares the same design ethos, the Ascend G510 will sport a surprisingly attractive price as a Huawei spokesperson told TechRadar they expect the handset to go on sale for about £130 (around $200/AU$190).The Huawei Ascend G510 release date is pegged fro April/May this year and we'd expect it to arrive in markets around the world.It's an unassuming handset which sports the classic black slab look of many smartphones these days, with a sturdy plastic body hugging the glass-covered front of the handset.The edges are slightly rounded which allows the 134 x 67 x 9.9mm frame to sit pretty well in the palm, and the textured back cover adds a useful amount of grip and we never feared dropping the Ascend G510.The G510 also comes in white and the rear of the phone has a gloss finish making it a little trickier to grip.Something which did throw us though was the placement of the power/lock which is usually found on the right side or on top of a handset.Instead the button is located above the volume rocker on the left side of the Ascend G510 which meant we had to perform an unfamiliar finger movement to unlock the phone.We're pretty sure it's something we'd get used to if we used the phone for a few days, but for the first few attempts it
