Huawei launches world's fastest and biggest phones

Huawei has launched the world’s fastest 4G LTE smartphone and world’s largest smartphone in Dubai this week.

The Ascend P2 is the world’s fastest 4G LTE smartphone featuring a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and compatible with LTE Category 4, providing an ultrafast web experience with download speeds of up to 150 Mbps. It is only 8.4mm slim with a 4.7-inch Corning Gorilla glass screen. Running on the Android 4.1 operating system and with Huawei’s own Emotion 1.5 user interface (UI), the smartphone is powered by an impressive 2420 mAh battery and is capable of downloading HD movies in minutes while loading online videos, web pages, songs or e-Books in just seconds.

The Ascend Mate boasts a 6.1” screen with a screen-to-body ratio of 73% – the highest in the industry – which maximises viewing pleasure for emails, documents, videos and games. The HD LCD screen has a 1280 x 720 resolution, with the ‘Magic Touch’ feature providing enhanced screen responsiveness. The Ascend Mate is still slim and stylish, designed to fit comfortably in a single hand at just 9.9mm thin at its narrowest part.

While Huawei has long supplied networking solutions to top telecom operators in the Middle East, the company has only recently pushed into the consumer electronics segment over the past two years with devices like its Ascend P1 S—the world’s slimmest smartphone at time of launch—and the MediaPad 10 FHD tablet.

The Ascend P2 and Ascend Mate will be available in the UAE from June 1 at Dh1,799 and Dh1,599 respectively
