If specifications of the Huawei Ascend P2 were being considered to be predictable until now, we suggest it is time to reconsider. It is true that the smartphone has shown up at the MWC, although it disagrees with most of the prior speculations.
Expected to show off a 4.5-inch touchscreen display, the Ascend P2 has surfaced with a relatively larger 4.7-inch IPS HD in-cell touchscreen which has been given Corning Gorilla Glass protection. The company has built the handset to intuitively adjust under any light condition, together with proffering other features such as magic touch and smart reading.
The Emotion user interface spotted on the screen will be customizable, but the manufacturer states in fine print that this functionality will be restricted to select regions. A specific version of the Android Jelly Bean OS hadn’t earlier been pointed out to. However, it has been brought to our attention that the phone will be preloaded with the 4.1 edition.
Another component disregarding earlier rumors is the processor. Previously speculated to be running at a speed of 1.8GHz, the quad core CPU has in fact been clocked at 1.5GHz. Buzz concerning a probable 13MP primary camera has been confirmed, along with existence and details of a 1.3MP secondary webcam coming into picture.
Select markets will be able to take advantage of the NFC-enabled model for purposes such as transferring content as well as making e-payments. As per the company, a 2,420mAh battery when combined with QPC and ADRX technologies which have also been included in the 6.1-inch Mate, should reduce drainage of juice by 30% as compared to other handsets.
The OEM hasn’t narrowed down a price for the Huawei Ascend P2 as of now. But as far as its release is concerned, the smartphone will be infused into France through Orange by June. Other markets too will be able to spot it in two color schemes namely, black and white, during the second quarter.
