HUAWEI E397u-53 4G LTE FDD USB Modem Review

As one of the first group of 4G LTE USB Modem, Huawei E397 LTE FDD USB modem is not as popular as Huawei E398 or E392, perhaps because Huawei E397 supports the 4G frequency bands which are not commonly deployed by the operators.

Just like Huawei E398 4G LTE TDD FDD USB modem, there are also many variants for Huawei E397 4G USB modem, such as HUAWEI E397u-56, E397Bu-7, E397Bu-501, E397u-53 etc… Today, we get the Huawei E397 4G LTE modem in “Cricket” logo, it was customized by the operator cricket, but it’s already unlocked and SIM card free.

In the original box, the Huawei E397 looks cool. After open the box, we can see the Huawei E397 in compact design. In the back stick, the information indicates that this is the variant model Huawei E397u-53. And we can see the IMEI number of Huawei E397, code and made in China.

The USB of E397u-53 is in the body of the dongle, there is a movable button to cap it, users need to pull the button out and the USB would automatically flick out. The USB could rotate around 180 degrees. On the other side of the body, we can see the body logo “Cricket”.

What’s the Difference Between HUAWEI E3272 and E3276?

At the MWC, we saw the new 4G LTE cat4 USB Stick Huawei E3272. At the first glance of the LTE cat4 modem, it reminds us the Huawei E3276, the world’s first LTE cat4 4G Surfstick. Since they both support 4G LTE cat4, here comes a question: what’s the difference between them?

Huawei E3276 is an elder model which was released at the beginning of 2012. Here now, there are various sub-models available for many operators. The model Huawei E3276s-151 is the most popular model. Huawei E3272 comes out on MWC 2013.

The first difference between Huawei E3276 and E3272 is chipset platform, Huawei researched how own brand chipset Hisilicon, before that, Huawei always use Qualcomm 4G chipset, which arise the cost of Huawei 4G modems. Now with Huawei chipset, we suppose the price of its 4G modem would be much cheaper than before and acceptable for most users.

As the same feature of Huawei E3276, Huawei E3272 also supports 4G FDD and TDD networks. In the sub-models, they may support only TDD or FDD network, or together. Under TDD network, the peak download speed up to 112Mbps while upload peak speed is 10Mbps. With FDD network, the speed may reach 150Mbps for downlink and 50Mbps for uplink. The difference lies on the 2G network.

Huawei E3272 could not only support TDD/FDD/UMTS/GSM/GPRS, it could also support the American standard EVDO. So Huawei E3272 would be most likely to be available for American operators.

In addition to the appearance, Huawei E3272 LTE cat4 USB modem has a unique feature: HiLink technology. In Huawei 3G USB stick, this technology has been commonly used. It’s a user friendly system for modem application. No Driver installation, after the modem plug to PC, it would automatically connects in 15 seconds. Huawei use this technology in 4G USB modems, which makes Huawei E3272 more attractive, especially for the users who are bored about setup or configure the parameter. With simple operation, Huawei E3272 would response quick and get connected. Huawei E3272 should be the first 4G dongle with HiLink technology.

In conclusion, Huawei E3272 improves many functions and should performance much better than Huawei E3276. But whether Huawei chipset Hisilicon would be reliable, time will tell.

What’s the Difference Between HUAWEI E3331 and HUAWEI E369?

At the CES 2013, we found Huawei released a new 3G USB stick, the model number is Huawei E3331. The appearance of E3331 looks like E369, but there must be something different from the two models.

Huawei says Huawei UltraStick E3331 is the world’s smallest USB data card, which is very light and thin. It’s said that E3331 is the best partner for Apple Mac Ultra book. Perhaps Huawei is following the trend for mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and electronics, to make them thinner and lighter. But we remembered that Huawei also said Huawei E369 is the world’s slimmest data card, and then what’s the difference between the two brother models?

The Huawei E3331 and E369 both support HSPA+ download peak speed up to 21.6Mbps. They both support 3G UMTS/WCDMA network 900/2100 MHz, Huawei E369 seems more powerful because it could work on five UMTS/WCDMA 850/900/AWS/1900/2100MHz, which means Huawei E369 could work on more 3G networks, especially with the 3G operators in Japan and USA.

They both don’t support the Micro SD memory card, which should be limited by the slim body space. However, Huawei E3331 incorporates HiLink technology, which helps Huawei E3331 get connected to network in 15 seconds. And the advantage of HiLink is that no driver is needed to install and user can manage the modem via Web UI. With HiLink, Huawei E3331 would auto real the SIM card, auto setup the parameters and auto connect. So this should be the key feature that different from E369.

What’s more, Huawei E3331 also supports IPV 6. As we know, here now, there is only few models that could support IPV 6. So Huawei E3331 should be the first 3G modem to support IPV 6. And around the February 2013, HUAWEI E3331 would be available in Philippines, and it’s expected this would be available for more operators.

Usually, the HUAWEI E5332 Mobile WiFi, also named HUAWEI E5332s-2, don’t need any setup and it would automatically connect to the network, the devices connected to this mobile WiFi and then surf freely.

However, sometimes, the HUAWEI E5332 mobile WiFi may can’t read the SIM card and it would not auto connect the network. So user need to setup and configure the HUAWEI E5332 manually. Below are the steps to guide the setup:

1. Plug the SIM card to device HUAWEI E5332

2. Power on HUAWEI E5332

3. Connect the WiFi device to HUAWEI E5332(the SSID and WiFi key are on the back cover inner part)

This is the easy setup and configuration of HUAWEI E5332 Mobile WiFi. Hope this will help most of the users who are in trouble. But before this setup, user must confirm that the SIM card operator could provide the 3G UMTS bands at 900/2100 MHz, which means if there SIM card is running on the band 850/1900 MHz, it’s incompatible with the device. Or it can only work on 2G network.

HUAWEI E5332 E5332s-2 3G Mobile WiFi Hotspot Review

As the sister model of HUAWEI E5331 Mobile WiFi, Huawei E5332 may not as popular as Huawei E5331, in our opinion, Huawei E5332 may be better than E5331. Today, let have a look at this new 3G pocket WiFi.

When we first get the package box of Huawei E5332, we feel it weights more than E5331. And the box is bigger than the latter. We are thinking what’s in the box and cause the weight difference. In our memory, in the box of Huawei E5331, there is only E5331 device, one short USB cable and a battery. When we open the box of Huawei E5332, we could see the E5332 device is in a small plastic protective bag.

Removing the paper plat, the packaged contents are listed at the bottom of the box: on black power adapter, user manual guide, safety information paper, one battery and one short USB cable. The power adapter should be the key which cause the weight difference. Actually, the weight is not that important, the users concern more about the application and convenience brought from Huawei E5332.

Huawei E5332 Mobile WiFi is also in pocket size like E5331, but it’s thicker than E5331 at the body side. Huawei E5332 should use the same module as Huawei E5756 mobile WiFi, we suppose.

Following the simple design of Huawei E5331, the Huawei E5332 also has one button for operation, mainly for power on and off. Beside the power button, there is a LED indicator where we can see the Huawei logo, signal strength and connection status, message information and remaining battery.

The USB interface is at the body side, close to the USB interface, it’s an external antenna connector. The connector is covered by a protective cap.

And we open the back cover; we can the SIM card slot, model stick. The stick information on the image below:

But there is no Micro SD memory card slot in Huawei E5332. We found there is a reset button at the inner side of the body. It’s to set the device to factory default.

After the SIM card plug into the slot, put the battery in the body. Then power on the Huawei E5332, the LED indicator will shine to indicate the connection status. On the inner part of back cover, there is the SSID and WiFi password information.

After your WiFi device gets connected with Huawei E5332, then you can surf Internet and don’t meet any settings. HUAWEI E5332 Mobile WiFi is a good pocket WiFi for surfing.

HUAWEI E8278 4G 150Mbps LTE Cat4 WiFi Dongle Review

Before we start today topic, there is a question here: do you know Huawei E355 Mobile WiFi modem? If you are familiar with Huawei E355, you would know that Huawei E355 is a special model which falls in between USB dongle and Mobile WiFi, because even though it looks like a USB dongle, it can work like a WiFi router. After plug Huawei E355 to PC or with power adapter, up to 5 users could get connected to it and surf Internet. The peak data transmission rate is 21Mbps.

Similarly, there are new WiFi dongles released from Huawei to support LTE cat4 150mbps download speed. In MWC 2013, Huawei Wingle E8278 LTE Cat4 WiFi dongle comes to our eyes. Huawei E8278 is the world’s first LTE cat4 WiFi dongle; it could support 4G LTE FDD and TDD network at 20MHz. The maximum download speed could reach 150mbps and upload speed could reach 50mbps under 4G FDD network; with TDD network, the downlink and uplink speed are 112Mbps and 10Mbps.

With better function than Huawei E355, Huawei E8278 could connect up to 10 WiFi users. From this point, Huawei E8278 is a 4G mobile pocket WiFi without battery. So if with a mobile power charger, Huawei E8278 would become a real LTE cat4 Mobile WiFi.

Different from Huawei E355, Huawei E8278 incorporates 2*2 MIMO, which would obviously improve the transmission speed. And there are two external antenna connectors. Besides the logo, there is indicators which telling the signal strength, message and WiFi status. The USB of HUAWEI E8278 is rotatable, the rotating USB could plug to a power adapter. After working with a power adapter, the HUAWEI E8278 would become a Mini mobile WiFi Hotspot, and the advantage is that the Wingle E8278 could keep working with the continuous power supply.

Except for SIM card slot, HUAWEI E8278 has a MicroSD card, the extended card capacity could reach 32GB. So the users connected with HUAWEI E8278 would share the files or documents in the SD card inserted in E8278.

Following the 4G network is more and more popular, 4G gadgets are becoming more and more common. Many users get their own 4G gadgets and enjoy the changes brought from technologies. In the 4G gadgets, there are dongles and pocket WiFi. Today, we will have a review about the most popular 4G LTE mobile WiFi Sierra 762s and Huawei E589.

Somebody may ask why are the two models and not others? The answer is simple; because Sierra 762s and Huawei E589 cover the most commonly deployed 4G frequency bands in Europe and Asia-pacific region. We will talk it later.

Huawei and Sierra Wireless are two top LTE vendors all over the world, and they are always competing with each other for LTE share. Perhaps due the protect from US government, Huawei cannot enter US market, on the contrary, Sierra Wireless is the local US vendor, which supply telecom products mainly to North American and South American. Consequently, Huawei cooperates with many operators in Europe and Asia, but it cannot open the US gate. It’s political matter, not our topic today.

As the competitor, Huawei E589 and Sierra 762s incorporate many same features, which depend on the network status in target markets.

From the appearance, Huawei E589 follow the classic Huawei E5 mobile WiFi design while Sierra 762s is also in good design. They both support 4G LTE FDD 800/1800/2100/2600MHz, Huawei E589 seems more powerful because it support on more frequency FDD 900MHz.

With both supported download speed of 100mbps, the connection stability should the main concern from users. Based on many years professional experience, they are both reliable hotspots with good quality. Under same network condition, we have tested that the average speed is almost the same.

As the same feature of 4G LTE MiFi, Huawei E589 and Sierra 762s could support up to10 users to share the network simultaneously.

Other features are almost the same, easy to take, pocket size. So in our opinion, they are same good 4G mobile WiFi, if you don’t care about the brand, both Huawei E589 and Sierra 762s are worthy to have one.
