Huawei Ascend Mate 2

 

Hands-on at CES 2014: The 6.1-inch smartphone beast that can charge up your gadgets

Currently, there are no details on UK pricing, but we anticipate it to fall into the same £350 price bracket as the original making it cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It should make for an affordable alternative to Samsung's big phone, but we...

Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G review

 

A big phone for big thumbs

One-handed phablet use ; Faster and lighter overall ; Panoramic selfies

Snapdragon 600 looks outdated ; 720p screen ; 6.1-inch screen may be too big for some

The Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G is a big phone, there's no way look past it, but size isn't the only that makes it special. With a much tighter screen-to-body it's a completely useable with just one hand. With some new better selfies taking features and a...

Big, cheap Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G's got the goods (review)

 

This 6.1-inch Android phone succeeds in balancing performance with a really wallet-friendly price.

The Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G has a fun custom interface, 16GB of internal storage, clear call quality, and mostly strong data and internal performance.

Weak image quality from the Mate 2's 13-megapixel camera, a poor speakerphone, and low pixel density in the screen are drawbacks. It's also far too big for some hands.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a phone for the size and price of the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G that performs as well as it does.

Huawei Ascend Mate 2 review

 

The only smartphone that can charge your other USB devices

Apparently the display is far more battery-efficient than equivalent Full HD displays. This is also thanks to its Low-Temperature Poly-Silicon technology, which is 20-30% more power efficient than typical IPS screens. It also comes with...

CES: Huawei Ascend Mate 2 hands-on review

 

We're not convinced phablet can challenge the Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Huawei made some big claims about the equally large Ascend Mate 2 smartphone, but we're still not fully convinced.

Huawei Ascend Mate 2 review

 

With a massive 6.1-inch screen and a battery to match, the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 has plenty to offer, even if its size and middling specs will turn some would-be buyers away.

The Huawei Ascend Mate 2 won’t be universally loved, mainly because its screen size is controversial and it isn’t exactly a high-end device on paper. However, the Mate 2 proves that a smartphone doesn’t necessarily have to come with the latest and...

Huawei Ascend Mate2 4G review: Value king

 

The Huawei Ascend Mate2 4G is a landmark for the manufacturer in the United States. The 6.1" LTE phablet is the first device, which the company will offer in the country as a standalone OEM, via its own online store, without partnering with a wireless...

6.1" 720p IPS+ LCD display with Gorilla Glass 3, usable with gloves; 79% screen to body ratio ; Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with Emotion UI 2.0 ; 1.6GHz Cortex-A7 quad-core CPU, Adreno 305 GPU; Qualcomm MSM8928 Snapdragon 400 chipset; 2GB of RAM ; 16GB of...

Android 4.3 is already an outdated OS choice in mid-2014 ; Emotion UI 2.0 might not fit all tastes ; No changes in design since the previous generation ; No NFC

After spending plenty of quality time with it, we can safely conclude that the Huawei Ascend Mate2 4G proved to be exactly what we expected. By combining quality mid-range specs headed by a large IPS display, a beefy battery with outstanding endurance,...

Huawei MateBook review: this tablet wants to be a PC, but misses the basics

 

In the world of tablet computing, there are two camps. There's the Microsoft Surface (and its clones) camp, which attempts to make hardware that transforms from tablet to laptop and back again....

Sleek, aluminum unibody design ; Snappy performance ; Vibrant display

Keyboard case is poorly designed ; Battery life is atrocious ; Poor heat management
