Huawei Ascend G6 Review

Ascend G6 is one of the newer models from Huawei’s beautifully designed phone family. We recently wrote about the model Ascend P7, which should compete with the biggest and most powerful smartphones, but Ascend G6 doesn’t have that intention. This is a fairly modest device that stylistically resembles the legendary Ascend P6, after which nothing wasn’t the same for Huawei.

Huawei Ascend G6 Design

The Chinese company has decided that this model has flat surfaces, covered entirely in black or white color. As with the aforementioned Ascend P7, the edges are covered by metal surface that breaks up the monotony and which irresistibly reminds of the iPhone design style. The phone has a gently curved top and bottom edges, which makes it extra appealing and easier to use. Next to each other, as expected, are placed the main key and the volume rocker. They are placed on the phone’s side. Ascend G6 phone very good proportions. With less than 8 mm in the waist, it’s clear that this is a very slim phone. Such a tiny phone is nice and easy to hold, and leave a pleasant impression on the observer extra. Also, with only 114g, this is one of the lightest phones that are close to the limit of 5 inches. Precisely, the Ascend G6 has exactly 4.5 inch

Huawei Ascend G6 Screen

Here screen is made ​​on a “this is quite convenient size to handle it” principle. I really think so. First, the 4.5 inches is more than enough to enjoy in multimedia, and not to exaggerate the size of a real phone. On the other hand, the screen has decent 540x960 pixels, which is not something special, but still very acceptable. With 245 ppi, the screen quality is very solid, and the phone also has surprisingly good viewing angles. Perhaps the only phone that offers better screen for the same money is unusual Moto G, but that's it. Therefore, Huawei Ascend G6 is quite decent when it comes to image quality, so you shouldn’t have any major problems, unless you're used to 720p and better screens.

Huawei Ascend G6 Specs and Perfromances

Below the surface there is a nice Qualcomm’s quad-core processor brand clocked at 1.2 GHz, which works paired with 1GB of RAM. When the internal memory is concerned, Huawei will not spoil us with only 4GB, but thankfully they were so wise to put the microSD port, where you can insert a memory card to a maximum of 32GB and solve the problem of lack of space for "parking" your photos and music. Phone works surprisingly well. To be honest, many have prejudices to "cheaper" manufacturers. Even if we know that this is an inexpensive model, then such doubt might be a regulation there. Huawei Ascend G6 responds well and quickly to commands, and if you don’t push it to the limits, you will not feel any delays and slowdowns in work. Huawei Ascend G6 uses a battery of 2.000mAh. Huawei Ascend G6 on the full battery draining (listening to music and watching videos, using social networks, apps, typing and sending messages and making phone calls of course) survives almost whole day. Of course, with moderate use it will push out one day without any problems. The phone runs on Android Jelly Bean OS. The UI is primarily designed to be easy to use. Besides it visually looks nice and clear, it’s perfect for beginners or those who don’t like too much to bother about using a phone.

Huawei Ascend G6 Camera

The G6 8MP uses camera, which is capable of recording full HD video. The camera is located in the corner where you usually put your fingers when you hold the phone horizontally, so you have to get used to it. In contrary, you can often take pictures of your own finger with no intention. The camera, like the phone in general, is a pleasant surprise. Photos are very good. Ok, maybe not perfect, but you should have always in mind how much Huawei Ascend G6 costs. There’s a little bit noise, but no big deal. There is also an HDR mode, for those who want images with more details. The front-facing camera has an excellent 5 MP sensor and does the job quite well.

Huawei Ascend G6 Verdict

Huawei Ascend G6 entered the competition in the lower price segment. It’s clear that his main competitor is Moto G, but the Huawei’s fresh device brings more freshness in the air. Advanced design, practical size and reasonable price are the advantages of this phone. Of course, the Huawei Ascend G6 has shortcomings, about which we can hardly speak because the phone is fairly accessible, so we can forget about them. Photos:consumer.huawei.com
