Productivity Capabilities

Pre-loaded productivity software on the Huawei M328 includes an alarm, calendar, calculator, and stopwatch. Voice recording and speakerphone options allow users to create voice memos and send and receive phone calls hands-free.

The device's phone-book supports storage in the form of caller groups, has a 500 names capacity, and allows storage of multiple phone numbers per contact. Internal memory is 5MB and USB connectivity is available.
