The Huawei Ascend Mate has begun showing signs of arriving in India considering that the 6.1-inch giant has already reserved a spot on online shopping thresholds such as Flipkart as well as Infibeam. Sadly, the smartphone which Huawei had unveiled at the CES this year has poked its head into the news without any release date details.
For those who have little clue about the Huawei Ascend Mate, we have here the components which the smartphone will be laying on the table. Seen wrapped between dimensions of 163.5mm x 85.7mm x 9.9mm is an IPS+ LCD touchscreen with a splash of Corning Gorilla Glass protection. Since recent times have seen 5-inch gadgets promoting full HD panels, the 1280 x 720p resolution of the handset in question might be a matter of concern. Featuring Magic touch, this display lets users employ the panel even with gloves on.
An 8MP camera rests on the device’s flip side, right above the manufacturer’s branding and next to a flash. This camera is skilled enough to record videos in full HD resolution and packs a BSI sensor with a view to deliver good quality pictures even in low light conditions. Naturally, the company wouldn’t deprive the phone of a front-facing webcam, thus planting one with a 1MP sensor.
The handset runs on the former version of Android Jelly Bean and there is no information concerning a possible update. Its heart is inhabited by a 1.5GHz quad core Hi-Silicon K3V2 processor which along with 2GB of RAM strives to facilitate multitasking. This brings us to the inbuilt memory that sums up to 8GB, the shortfall of which can be compensated by slipping a microSD card of up to 64GB into the built-in expansion port.
Flipkart has displayed the Ascend Mate boasting of a price tag which reads Rs 28,900, whereas Infibeam has yet to adorn the gadget with an MRP.
In short, the device’s core specifications comprise of the following:
– Platform: Android 4.1
– Processor: 1.5GHz quad core Hi-Silicon K3V2
– Display: 6.1-inch IPS+ LCD screen with Corning Gorilla Glass
