    CES 2014:Huawei Ascend Mate 2’s big battery can charge your iPhone

    Huawei_ssThe Huawei Ascent Mate 2 does everything big. It’s a 6.1 Android mega-phone with a whopping 4050mAh battery in the relative back, making it potentially the longest lasting smartphone to date. For perspective, the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 includes a 3200mAh battery — nearly 1000 mAh significantly less than the Mate 2 — also it lasted 11 hours during our testing. The Mate 2 doesn’t skimp on optics either: the front-facing camera’s 5MP sensor took excellent selfies. Throw in 4G LTE support and a March arrival to the U.S. smartphone market, and you’ve got a large device with big features that’ll be a large problem for your competition.

    Huawei has made a decision to opt from the home-grown K3V2 chipset because of this latest iteration, taking a Snapdragon 400 SoC instead. Imaging has been upgraded aswell, with the Mate 2 sporting a 13MP Sony-made primary cam and a 5MP front-facer.

    The Mate 2 features 2GB of RAM also, 16GB of internal storage, microSD expansion of to 32GB up, plus a couple of cameras — 5 megapixels f/2.4 on leading and 13 megapixels, f/2.0 on the relative back. That is all tucked in the familiar 202g, 9.5mm-thick body, which feels nice given the solid frame and slightly slimmer screen bezel rather, though we’re not too keen on the glossiness on the white Mate 2’s removable back cover (for usage of the SIM slot and microSD slot). On the program side, there’s Huawei’s Emotion UI 2.0 running together with Android 4.3, so users will reap the benefits of features optimized for single-hand usage — especially calling keypad that squashes itself to 1 side, based on your tilt. You obtain handy floating widgets like calculator also, calendar, messages and notes to be on top of other apps.

    • Dimensions: 161 x 84.7 x 9.5mm, 202 g
    • Display: 6.1″ eHD (1280 x 720) IPS display, 241ppi

  • MWC 2013: Huawei Ascend P2 Claims World’s Fastest Smartphone Title

    The company claims the handset’s LTE Category 4 modem offers download speeds of up to 150Mbps.

    Networking and telecommunications equipment specialist Huawei Technologies introduced the Ascend P2, which the company claims is the world’s fastest smartphone with a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and Long Term Evolution (LTE) Category 4 technology, which provides download speeds of up to 150M bps.

    The handset sports an infinity edge 4.7-inch high-definition in-cell touch display with second-generation Corning Gorilla Glass and will be available in black and white. The Ascend P2 will be on sale in France through network operator Orange in June 2013 and will also be available globally in the second quarter of 2013, the company said.

    "We’re pleased to be working with Huawei again to enable our customers to have easier and faster access to all their favorite content," Yves Maitre, senior vice president of mobile multimedia and devices at Orange, said in a statement. "We are impressed by the design and look forward to putting the Ascend P2 into the hands of consumers as soon as possible."

    The Emotion UI is also preinstalled with a smartphone housekeeper function to support real-time data-traffic tracking, automatic blacklisting and blocking, periodical system cleaning, and spontaneous exiting of idle programs and cache cleanup. The device also features antivirus, energy saving, privacy protection, software management and other functions.

    The company claimed its proprietary swift sharing technology supports uploads and downloads two to three times faster than other smartphones in a WiFi environment, while its near-field communication (NFC) module enables e-payments and can act as an electronic ticket. In addition, Huawei’s Quick Power Control (QPC) and Automated Discontinuous Reception (ADRX) power-saving technologies reduce power consumption and charging time.

    Other features include a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with high dynamic range (HDR), and a 1.3MP front-facing camera for self-portrait and video shooting. A dedicated camera key on the side of the phone also allows instant access to picture taking, with one click for the camera to be activated and another time to take the shot. With Huawei’s camera algorithm, high-definition images can be captured even in backlit conditions, and the camera also features auto-adjustment modes.

    The touch-screen, just 8.4mm slim, offers a "magic touch" feature that provides enhanced screen responsiveness, even when the user is wearing gloves.

    Additionally, instant keyword translation and Wikipedia searches can now be done on a single window with the company’s "smart reading" technology. The screen also calibrates its brightness automatically under a variety of light conditions.
