[CES 2013] Huawei's 6.1-inch Ascend Mate Is Official, Ready To Split Pockets In February
We had heard that Huawei was going to shock the world (or at least impressionable gadget lovers) with an enormous smartphone, and they've made it official here at CES.

That monster panel is a 720p IPS LCD - strangely, a lower resolution than the new 5-inch Ascend D2 - and gives the device a 73% screen-to-body ratio.

Despite some minor issues, perhaps what you'll find at the download link below is also what the device should have with way back when in August...
