1. Huawei Ascend Mate Review
[imaioVideo v=1]
Huawei has unveiled the Ascend Mate, a massive 6.1in Android smartphone designed to take
on the might of the Galaxy Note 2 phablet, here at CES. With a quad-core processor,
8-megapixel camera and 720p HD display, it could potentially upset Samsung, who has the
smartphone/tablet crossover market all but sewn up. We spent some time trying out the device
on Huawei’s stand, to bring you our first impressions.
Even in our large hands, the Ascend Mate is an absolute giant of a device, despite being less
than 10mm thick, and will struggle to fit in most people’s pockets. It’s available in black, with
silver trim, but we think the white model looks far nicer – it’s sleek and looks fantastic when the
6.1in display springs to life.
The giant screen might only have a 720p resolution (you’ll have to look to the Ascend D2 for a
1080p display – arguably this year’s must-have smartphone feature) but it looked incredibly
sharp, with vivid colours and excellent viewing angles thanks to the IPS panel. It’s protected
with Corning Gorilla Glass, so it should withstand a brush with your keys, and looked very bright
under the harsh show floor lights. Both pictures and video looked fantastic, although we think
Sony’s newly announced Xperia Z has the edge when it comes to films.
Its 8-megapixel camera can take Full HD video and has an LED flash for low light shooting. The
few sample images we took on the show floor looked good on the phone’s screen, but we’ll
have to wait until the handset goes on sale to give it a proper test. There’s also a front-facing
1-megapixel webcam that’s ready for Skype video calls.
Soon to be released Huawei new smartphones Ascend Mate are presented at the 2013
International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on January 7, 2013. The annual CES
which takes place from January 8-11 is a place where industry manufacturers, advertisers and
tech-minded consumers converge to get a taste of new gadgets and innovations coming to the
market each year.
Hands-on with the all new and massive 6.1-inch 1280x720p HD smartphone by Huawei. Shown
off and unveiled at CES 2013 with a 4,050 mAh battery and 1.5 GHz quad-core processor.
