Huawei Ascend P7 vs P6 Design

Huawei applied a 7-layer surface treatment to the slim glass rear with a micro pattern design, thats the first time we see such a design on a smartphone so far. Through this 7-layer treatment the glass back of the Ascend P7 gets more transparency and a textured finish. The Design of the Huawei Ascend can definitely keep up with other Top Flagships like the HTC One M8.

The Power Key is located at the centeer of the phone to make the navigation with one hand easier and increase the general comfort when using the Huawei mobile.

The Huawei Ascend P7 is accentuated by rounded curves, that look like they have been inspired by nature and especially remind of a drop of water spreading on a glass surface.

While the P7 is 0.3 mm thicker then the Ascend P6 it is definitely much thinner then other Flagship Smartphones. The Ascend P7 is 1.1 mm thinner then the iPhone 5s and 1.5 mm slimmer then the Samsung S5.

With Huawei’s phone management you can easily manage and adjust the most important settings of your smartphone. One of the most useful features let you customize your start up screen, clean your internal memory with the storage cleaner, disable annoying notifications or scan for internal problems.

One of the Strong points of Huawei mobiles in general is their connectivity. The P7 switches automatically between 4G and 3G when browsing the internet. Huawei also incorporated two different antennas, for better connectivity and optimal signal, one antenna each on top and bottom of the device.

And which OS does the Huawei P7 have onboard. Yes, it has the newest Android OS Android v4.4 KitKat. Also Huawei updated the screen of the P7 from a 4.7 inch display on the P6 to a 5.inch HD display with pixel density of 445ppi. This pixel density is higher then all other smartphones in this review.

Ultra Power Saving Mode

The P7 has a pretty clever Power Saving Mode for the 2500mAh battery. As soon as the battery runs out of power, the feature shuts down all non essential applications that are running to save battery power. You can still text and call though and Huawei claims that with this feature users will have up to 24 hours of extra standby time. If you dont want to use this feature there is still the Smart Power Saving Mode that adjusts the power usage automatically and also increases the standby time of the Huawei P7.

To further save power and battery life the Huawei mobile has a Thermal Gel cooling System to keep the processor cool. This cooling system also helps to decrease power loss and also keeps the smartphones cool for usage.

The Huawei Ascend P7 Price in Malaysia is at RM 1499 which is RM 100 more expensive versus the P6 at launch. We believe the price is still very reasonable for this new Huawei FlagShip Smartphone, especially compared to Samsung S5, iPhone 5s and other prices. What do you think about the new Ascend p7?
