This is the Huawei Mate 7 and note the Mate 7 Compact, but it should retain the same metal build and features

A few days back, Huawei announced that it would hold a press event on 1 March 2015, just a day before MWC 2015. The company didn't reveal any details of the possible launches that could be made at the event, but latest rumors indicate that Huawei may announce a compact version of its popular Huawei Ascend Mate 7 flagship. According to a Chinese blog, the new device, which could be called the Huawei Mate 7 Compact, will be a smaller version of the flagship smartphone. Moreover, the company may drop the Ascend name completely for its new launch. The Ascend Mate 7 is a large phone, thanks to its 6-inch display. On the other hand, the new Mate 7 Compact will reportedly feature a 5.5-inch display, which is quite the standard among flagship devices announced lately. The tech specs of the device have not been leaked yet, but rumors say that the phone will carry the full metal premium build found on the original Mate 7. A number of other handsets are also expected to be announced at the 1 March event, which may include the rumored Huawei P8 flagship. Expect more details in the coming few weeks.
