Huawei Ascend Mate

Huawei Ascend Mate is evidence that phones are getting bigger and bigger, but unfortunately the more and more expensive too. However, Ascend Mate makes some changes there. Firstly, it is phablet that is larger than the Samsung Galaxy Note and its price will not clean out your pockets. This is the first Huawei really big phone for an acceptable price, which can become your first phone in this category. Generally, Ascend Mate brings some features already seen on some models of this Chinese manufacturer, but its main plan is to steal market share held by Samsung.

Huawei Ascend Mate screen

First and foremost the screen is what Huawei Ascend Mate is all about. As we said before, with 6.1 inches of this IPS LCD screen it provides a great advantage to this phablet against the competition. Besides large size, the screen has a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, which for this type of device is considered to be very good. If you plan to take your new phone in your bag (though I really do not see where else it could fit) you should relax, because the screen is protected from scratches and nothing will happen when it "hangs out" with keys, pens and other sharp things. This screen has some good points, and it has increased sensitivity to gloves, which is especially important during the cold part of the year. Huawei Ascend Mate might not have the screen quality as some larger models from Samsung and Sony, but it is certain that the screen has a very solid 241 pixels per inch. However, due to the size it is ideal for web browsing, watching videos and reading documents.

Huawei Ascend Mate design and dimensions

Huawei Ascend Mate is a really, really huge. And I say this after using many similar devices. So far we were laughing to people who phoned with Galaxy Note, but now the situation is getting comical. Imagine that you hold to your ear device that has the dimensions of 163.5 x 85.7 x 9.9 m! On the other hand, we expected that the device has more than 198 g, how many actually have. We have already said that Huawei Ascend Mate is not designed to be carried in your pants, so if you don't have a smaller bag, it's time to buy one. At first glance, almost 200 grams may seem unreal, but Huawei did well job in weight distribution of large diagonal and that’s why the phone does not feel heavy in hand as it might seem. The most credit for it has a plastic case, which is slightly rubbed at the back, which helps to hold phone better. Due to very good shape, the phone sets steady in your hands, and is especially commendable that the power button is placed on the side to make it easier to reach.

Huawei Ascend performance andconnections

Despite a quad-core processor with 1.5GHz and 2GB of RAM, Huawei Ascend Mate will at some moment start annoying you. This giant sometimes slowly loads applications. However, this does not mean that Huawei Ascend Mate is too slow. This just seems to be a compensation for less payed huge display. If you want a device that works smoothly, then you must be willing to pay more. Thus, from time to time you can expect some deadlock, but this is more the exception than the rule. The lack of LTE connection is certainly downside of this phone, because it is almost perfect for surfing due to a large screen. Thus, the Huawei Ascend Mate is slightly behind the leading models in this segment. However, if 3G fits you, the Mate will do a great job.

Huawei Ascend Mate camera

This titan phone has two cameras. The first has 8MP and is equipped with autofocus and LED flash, while the other is far worse and has only 1MP. The camera makes decent photos, but the impression is that they are little bit blurred. However, if you usually use photos to upload them to social networks, then this camera is more than enough.

Huawei Ascend Mate battery life

The battery is very good. Huawei has made an effort to incorporate massive 4050mAh battery, which is enough for up to two days of quite comfortable using of this phablet.

Huawei Ascend Mate conclusion

If speed doesn't mean life for you, and if you are a fan of big screens, then the Huawei Ascend Mate seems like a great device. This is probably the best choice for older people, who have problem of reading small letters and numbers. At the same time, children may find it interesting too. The problem of performance for some will be a sign to give up shopping, but others will be delighted because of the price magnet and see it as a crucial thing for buying it. Photos:huaweidevice.com
