First look at the Huawei Ascend P6

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

We've seen a number of Huawei devices this year. Ranging from clearly entry level smartphones to an interesting challenger to the the supersized-handset market.

The Ascend P6 is an ultra-slim and premium smartphone that is impressively put together and shows just how formidable Huawei has become as a smartphone maker in a short span of time. 

The Ascend P6 is made out of brushed aluminum with a stainless steel bezel which likely incorporates the antennas. It features a bright 4.7-inch display, a 1.5Ghz quad core processor, 2GB of RAM, Android 4.2.2 and a sizeable 2000mAh battery. It is clever enough to incorporate its own SIM card slot pin and while it comes with 8GB of onboard storage, it can easily be upgraded to 64GB via microSD card expansion.

Huawei’s current flagship smartphone is available in Canada at WIND – at 6.18 mm slim, it is the thinnest phone available in Canada right now and a sign of great things to come from Huawei.
