Huawei Brings Aussies Ascend P2 and World’s Thinnest Phone P6 (Video)
Huawei brings to Australia two of its high-end phones - the Ascend P2 and the world's thinnest phone P6, The Australian reports.
P6 as World's thinnest Phone
The Huawei P6 was dubbed as the world's thinnest smartphone, measuring at 6.18mm. It may be the thinnest, but it does not fell short of high-tech features like an HD display, removable micro-SD card slot and a five-megapixel front-pacing camera for that famous selfie.
For the thrifty Aussie consumers, Huawei P6 is a device that comes with the sleek look which Apple phones are famous of but is more affordable.
Reviewer Ronan Price of the Independent.ie described P6, "from its angular black casing to its segmented steel brands around the edge, Huawei Ascend P6 has hardly deviated from its inspiration (Apple). On the plus side, the upshot is a robustly constructed Android with familiar good looks and pleasingly skinny."

The Ascend P2
Telstra offers Aussie the Ascend P2 at an affordable outright price of $504 as compared to the Samsung Galaxy S4 made available by Telstra at &889 outright.
Chris Griffith, a tech reviewer from the Australian, said that "P2 does not have the bells and whistles of the S4 - it does not for example monitor where your eyes are looking or magically erase extraneous people in the background of the snap - but it's kind of phone I could recommend to not-so-techy friends who get spooked by advanced features."
The P2 is not as thin as P6 obviously, but P2 is thin enough with its 8.4 mm width. The device has a large 2420 milliampere hour battery that allows users to burn only 7 per cent of the battery when watching videos.
It already has a 13 megapixel camera and operates using Android Honeycomb 4.1.2. and Huawei's Emotion UI. It also has 1.5 gigahertz quad-core processor and a new 4G LTE category 4 with download speed of up to 150 megabits per second. The P2 is the very first phone of its kind with 4G LTE to be available here in the country, thanks to Telstra.
However, users in Sydney and Melbourne will have to understand that speeds in their area can be as fast as those areas in Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane where Telstra has 20 megahertz of spectrum. Sydney and Melbourne only have 15 MHz of bandwidth.
