The Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G and the Ascend P7 are doing well in the market, as both relatively cheaper Android smartphones have helped Huawei achieve a 62 percent year-on-year increase in phone shipments. The Shenzhen-based company attributed the good news to both phones in its H12014 report Tuesday. Here is a quick look into the specs of both smartphones.
Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G Specs, Price
The Huawei Ascend Mate 2 is bigger than the Ascend P7 in screen size, at 6.1 inches. However, its screen resolution is only at 720 x 1280 pixels, for a 241 ppi pixel density. It has 13MP and 5MP cameras.
Like the more premium P7, the Ascend Mate 2 is a quad-core Android phone with 2GB of RAM and 16GB expandable storage. But its battery lasts longer, thanks to its less demanding display. (See more details on GSMArena.)
