TECHi's Take

It’s on. Well, according to Huawei at least. The Chinese manufacturer has just announced its 6-inch Ascend Mate7 to compete with the other big man on campus, the Galaxy Note 4. Huawei promises that the Ascend Mate7 is its most powerful phablet to date, with an octa-core Huawei Kirin 925 processor. Which is made up of four large A15 1.8GHz chipsets and four small A7 1.3 GHz chipsets. The idea is that the smaller chipsets will process the day-to-day functions of commonly used apps and the bigger chipsets will be utilised for gaming and other intense activity.

Huawei has just announced an updated iteration of its Ascend Mate series of phablets, the Ascend Mate7. Rather contrary to its name, the Mate7 features a 6″ screen of 1080p resolution with impressively narrow screen bezels. Under the hood lies Huawei’s latest in-house octa-core Kirin 925 processor, featuring four 1.8GHz Cortex-A15 cores and four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 cores alongside a Mali-T628 GPU. There will be 16/32GB of expandable internal storage, and 2GB of RAM (3GB on the 32GB model). A 13MP/5MP camera due take care of the shooting department, but neither are capable of recording at 2160p. A 4100mAh battery and Android 4.4 KitKat with the latest Huawei EMUI v3.0 rounding out the specs. The Huawei Ascend Mate7 will be available starting this quarter for €499/€599 (16GB/32GB models) in Obsidian black, Moonlight silver, and Amber gold.
