The new dongle with a premium finish and design, features a rotating head with a USB connector which tucks in and swivels out when you need to use it and just like a mini aerial, the dongle can also bend to stand vertically.

Connectivity remains an essential part of the Huawei story and the E3256 demonstrates the same technical excellence and design that have brought our smartphones and home devices such attention. It is a great prospect for customers looking to stream video and other data-hungry content on the move”.

The Huawei E3256 is available for a one-off upfront cost of £24.99 on a one-month rolling contract at £15.99 per month for 5 GB of data or from £44.99 on Pay As You Go with 1GB of data.
