Advertised as the ‘slimmest handset’ around town, the Vodafone Huawei Ascend P1 is readying for a UK launch this August. The device sports a profile measuring 7.6mm thick and that should make it appear quite sleek to the senses.
Running through its principal features, the phone in question is outfitted with a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen proffering images in resolutions of 960 x 540p. Operating under the hood is a TI OMAP 4460 Cortext-A9 dual core chipset leaning on assistance from the integrated PowerVR SGX graphics chip. The built-in Dolby sound technology is expected to deliver sharp and clear listening experiences.
Huawei Device UK and Ireland Executive Vice President Mark Mitchinson, shared, “The Ascend P1 demonstrates, yet again, that Huawei is dedicated to launching beautifully designed smartphones without compromise. The Ascend P1 stands alongside the most compelling Android devices in the market, affording a genuine and rich mobile experience at every turn. It’s offers real differentiation in a market that’s crying out for change and increased value. The Ascend P1 puts unmatched smartphone firepower into the hands of the mass market, and demonstrates that world-beating technology does not have to come at a premium.”
A run-through of the Vodafone Huawei Ascend P1 hardware specifications will be almost incomplete without a mention of the embedded 8MP autofocus snapper with LED and full HD video recording capability. Let’s not forget, there’s a 1.3MP sensor for video conferencing as well. With regards to connectivity, the manufacturer has thrown in DLNA, HSDPA, and Wi-Fi options. Its Android 4.0 OS provides convenient access to a wide catalog of applications from Google Play – like we need to mention that. The phone will be out in the color black with a soft-touch matte-finish back casing.
The Vodafone Huawei Ascend P1 UK price is £0 as long as customers pair the device with a monthly rental starting at £26. It is expected to be made available in early August via retailers in the country.
