[Hands-On And Video] Huawei Makes The Ascend P2 Official: 1.5GHz Quad-Core Processor, 4.7" 720p Display, 13MP Camera, Perspiration

Posted by in Ascend P2, Huawei, News, Videos

Huawei announced its newest smartphone at MWC this morning, the Ascend P2. The P2 is the follow-up to the Ascend P1, which was announced at CES last year.

The P2 is packing a 1.5GHz quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM, a 4.7" 720p display with Gorilla Glass 2 (it also works with gloves, apparently), 13MP rear camera, 2420mAh battery, Android 4.1.2 with Huawei's 'Emotion UI' (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little), and is a mere 8.9mm thin. Frankly, it's not very impressive - this is  decidedly 'high end of the mid-range' hardware. More likely, Huawei's strategy with the phone (in China, at least) will be aggressive pricing.

Huawei Ascend P2 Press Shot Leaks Ahead Of Mobile World Congress

Posted by in Huawei, Leaks, News, Rumors

This is the time of year when we expect two things to surface in droves: leaks and rumors. With CES fading in our taillights and Mobile World Congress just around the corner, it's an interesting time for device manufacturers. And while some have already gotten their early-year announcements over with, there are those who have chosen to wait for Barcelona to unveil their newest flagships to the world.

Take Huawei, for example. A recent rumor suggests that its upcoming Ascend P2 will be quite the workhorse with some rather impressive specs:

  • 5" IPS display
  • 1.8GHz quad-core CPU
  • 2GB RAM
  • 8GB built-in storage
  • 13MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front camera
  • 3000mAh battery
  • Android 4.1

And now, thanks to @evleaks over at Unwired View, we're getting our first glimpse of the MWC-bound handset.
