Comparisons Featuring Huawei Ascend D quad
Short Review
- The Huawei Ascend D quad features a sleek design with dimensions of 129 x 64.9 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 130 grams, available in metallic black and ceramic white.
- Its 4.5-inch IPS+ LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 326 ppi, although it lacks HDR support.
- Powered by the Huawei K3V2 chipset and a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, it delivers decent performance alongside 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage.
- The rear camera boasts an 8 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the front-facing camera is 1.3 MP.
- The battery capacity is 1800 mAh, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is somewhat dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack.
- Overall, the Ascend D quad combines a solid build with competent specifications for its time.
