News & Reviews:   Huawei Ascend P7 features

Huawei Malaysia recently sent us a save the date teaser for 10 June 2014 which you can see for yourself above. Quite obviously it is meant for the Huawei Ascend P7 smartphone and marks the local Malaysia launch date for Huawei's latest flagship smartphone. While it isn't the thinnest smartphone any more, the Ascend P7 still offers a number of refreshed tech specs and features which should be an interesting buy for users, especially if Huawei can offer it at the same tantalizing price as the recently launched Huawei Honor 3C. However, the Ascend P7 has already been released at $626 (RM2026) so this seems like a slim hope. Check out the tech specs and features of the Huawei Ascend P7 below:

• 1.8GHz quad-core Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 910 processor
• Mali 450 graphics
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB storage + up to 32GB microSD
• 5-inch LCD display (1920 x 1080 pixel, 445ppi)
• 13MP rear camera (LED Flash, Sony Sensor, f2.0 aperture, 5-element lens) + 8MP front camera (5-element lens)
• supports 4G LTE, HSPA+, WiFi, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0
• 124g
• 2500 mAh
• Android 4.4.2 + Emotion UI 2.3

About a week or so after the Huawei Ascend P7 Mini was announced, Huawei has announced the main Huawei Ascend P7 smartphone. While it isn't gunning for the World's thinnest smartphone record anymore the Huawei Ascend P7 is still fairly thin at 6.5mm and goes for a chrome sided narrow slate look that is quite classy. With both the front and back protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, it looks a lot like the latest batch of Sony Xperia smartphones, at least in terms of styling. Tech specs for the Huawei Ascend P7 are quite high-end which you can see below:

• 1.8GHz quad-core Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 910 processor
• Mali 450 graphics
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB storage + up to 32GB microSD
• 5-inch LCD display (1920 x 1080 pixel, 445ppi)
• 13MP rear camera (LED Flash, Sony Sensor, f2.0 aperture, 5-element lens) + 8MP front camera (5-element lens)
• supports 4G LTE, HSPA+, WiFi, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0
• 124g
• 2500 mAh
• Android 4.4.2 + Emotion UI 2.3

While the Huawei Ascend P7 mini has already been launched, the Huawei Ascend P7 is still waiting in the wings. We expect it to make an appearance soon though (this week in fact) but serial leaker @evleaks has put up nice closeup shot of this latest flagship smartphone from Huawei. The chrome detailing and styling certainly looks good and the smartphone is very thin at just 6.18mm. Other tech specs are all but confirmed with 2GB of RAM and a 2460 mAh battery. The chassis looks to be mostly metal which should excite those who like those sort of premium all-metal body smartphones. Still no news on pricing or Malaysia release dates but with Huawei Malaysia already in the country we should get the Huawei Ascend P7 here in Malaysia soon.
