Short Review

  • The Huawei Ascend Mate2 4G features a large 6.1-inch IPS+ LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 241 ppi.
  • Its build dimensions are 161 x 84.7 x 9.5 mm, weighing 202 grams, and it is available in Crystal Black and Pure White colors.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 2GB of RAM, which supports basic multitasking and app usage.
  • The camera system includes a 13 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps and a 5 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
  • The 4050 mAh battery offers substantial longevity, although it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
  • Running on Android 4.3 with an upgrade option to 5.1, it utilizes EMUI 2 for its user interface.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
  • Overall, the Ascend Mate2 4G combines a large display with solid performance and a reliable battery, making it suitable for everyday use.
  • However, it lacks some modern features like HDR and advanced camera stabilization.
