Short Review

  • The Huawei Ascend Mate features a large 6.1-inch IPS+ LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent visuals at approximately 241 ppi.
  • Its build dimensions are 163.5 x 85.7 x 9.9 mm, weighing 198g, and it is available in Crystal Black and Pure White.
  • Powered by a Huawei K3V2 chipset with a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and 2GB of RAM, it delivers satisfactory performance for basic tasks.
  • The 8 MP rear camera captures images with autofocus and can record video at 1080p@30fps, while the front-facing camera is limited to 1 MP.
  • The device is equipped with a robust 4050 mAh battery, ensuring extended usage without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 4.1 (upgradable to 4.2.2) with EMUI 1.5, the software experience is functional but dated.
  • Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
  • The phone does not feature stereo speakers and includes a standard headphone jack.
  • Overall, the Ascend Mate offers a solid combination of features for its time, though it may feel outdated compared to modern standards.
