IFA 2014: Huawei Ascend Mate7 hands-on

GSMArena team, 4 September 2014.

Introduction

Huawei have just announced their latest 6-inch phablet, the Ascend Mate7. It's an update of last years' 6.1-inch Mate tablet, featuring a slimmer 7.9mm frame, faster octa-core chipset running on Huawei's in-house Kirin 925 processor , and a larger 4100mAh battery.

The Mate7 features a high-quality aluminum alloy build, and impressive 2.9mm side bezels for an screen-to-body ratio that's much improved over that of the Ascend Mate. The camera is a 13MP Sony sensor with an f/2.0 aperture, although it doesn't come with 4K video recording.

It runs on Android 4.4 KitKat with the latest version of Huawei's EMUI version 3.0, and features a "instant single-touch" fingerprint sensor on the back that can be used to unlock the device or use with payment options.

Coming up we'll be taking a closer look at the new Huawei Ascend Mate7 phablet.
