Introduction
Huawei has become one of the biggest smartphone makers in the world, so the company's new Android smartphone, the Ascend P2 launches to great interest. It's a successor to the P1, but borrows the quad-core processor of the D1 quad.
The screen is a 4.7" IPS LCD with 720p resolution, which gives it 312ppi pixel density, so not the 1080p monster that earlier rumors suggested. It still looks pretty good - check out our impressions on the next page. It has the touchscreen layer nested straight into the display's cell and it offers something they called Magic Touch, which basically means it will work even with your gloves on.
Anyway, the phone runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean dressed in Emotion UI 1.6 at the moment, we'll see what Huawei has to say about updates.
The Ascend P2 is the first phone to support LTE Cat 4 - it can reach download speeds of up to 150Mbps, instead of the 100Mbps of regular Cat 3 LTE phones. Huawei are claiming the "world's fastest" title for the P2. We are yet to see European carriers launch such high-speed LTE networks.
The camera is a 13MP shooter with a BSI sensor and as is fashionable lately has HDR modes for both still shots and video.
Huawei's press conference is over now but we are still around at the venue playing with the Ascend P2, so enjoy our hands-on impressions on the next pages.
