Comparisons Featuring Huawei Ascend D quad XL
Short Review
- The Huawei Ascend D quad XL features a sleek design with dimensions of 129 x 64 x 10.9 mm and a weight of 150g, 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.
- Performance is driven by the Huawei K3V2 chipset, a quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which supports smooth multitasking.
- The 8 MP rear camera captures decent images with autofocus and can record video at 1080p@30fps, while the 1.3 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The 2600 mAh battery provides adequate power for daily use but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is somewhat dated but functional.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device lacks water resistance and stereo speakers, but it does include a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the Ascend D quad XL combines a solid build with competent performance and camera capabilities for its time.
