Huawei 6.1-inch Ascend Mate launched in India at Rs 24,900

Available in crystal black and pure white, the phone is available through online channels like Flipkart, Infibeam, Snapdeal, HomeShop 18, retail stores like Croma, Ezone, and multi-brand stores across India. 

Huawei launched the Ascend Mate smartphone with a 6.1-inch 720p display in India. The phone has a Gorilla Glass display for scratch resistance. 
Running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS, the Huawei Ascend Mate is powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and 2GB RAM. 
                              
It supports 1080p video recording and playback. 
One of the highlights of the phone is its 4050 mAh battery. The smartphone is claimed to provide two days of normal usage on a single charge. 
A fully charged Ascend Mate is claimed to offer 12 hours of continuous video playback.At 198g, the phone is light, but the oversized smartphone does not comfortably fit into a front pocket of jeans.
Besides, the gargantuan battery allows the phone to become a power bank. In other words, the phone can be used to charge other devices.
                               
I found the screen-size to be a tad bigger for a smartphone. Viewing angles are great and the touchscreen is highly responsive. The camera captures quality images. 
The Huawei Ascend Mate supports a micro SIM card and comes with an 8 GB of internal storage (of which 4.56 is user-accessible). The phone has a microSD card slot, which allows you to expand its memory. 
                               
It has an 8 megapixel rear camera with an LED flash and a 1 megapixel HD front facing camera. Its connectivity options include WiFi, WiFi Direct and Bluetooth 4.0 LE.
