Huawei Finally Announces The Ascend P2
0
Huawei has launched the Ascend P2 today,
its new flagship Android smartphone equipped with a 4.7-inch HD display
and running version 4.1 (Jelly Bean) of Google’s popular mobile
operating system.
This is a follow-up to the Ascend P1 and is being dubbed as “the world’s fastest smartphone.”
The new Android handset has a quad-core
1.5GHz processor at its core, along with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal
storage. There’s a 13-megapixel camera around the back, along with a
1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling.
The 8.4mm thin Ascend P2 has a 4.7-inch
720p IPS screen with 312ppi ratio. This came as a surprise since all the
previous rumors pointed to a 1080p display unit. The screen is covered
by a Gorilla Glass 2 layer and is rounded at the edges to create an
“Infinity pool” perception as Huawei calls it.
The capacitive touchscreen layer is
embedded inside the display cell and it allows operation with gloves or
nails, much like the one on the Nokia Lumia 920.
The Huawei Ascend P2 is skinned with the
company’s Emotion UI 1.5 which might not add to much to the experience
Android experience.
Huawei Ascend P2 also uses Huawei’s
proprietary Quick Power Control (QPC) and Automated Discontinuous
Reception (ADRX) power-saving technologies, which allegedly reduce power
consumption and charging time by more than 25% compared to other
smartphones.
Huawei declared its plans to focus on
smartphone development and worldwide distribution. It also announced
full-year global sales revenue of $7.5 billion with 127 million shipped
devices. 52 million of those devices are handsets and 32 of those are
smartphones.
