HUAWEI Ascend P6

The HUAWEI Ascend P6, the world’s slimmest smartphone measuring 6.18mm. The smartphone features a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and a sleek metallic body. With its 4.7-inch high definition in-cell display, industry-leading 5MP front-facing camera, and outstanding software, the HUAWEI Ascend P6 is the embodiment of elegance with an edge.

HUAWEI Ascend P6 is ultra slim at 6.18mm and weighs just about 120g. While it is small enough to slip into the tiniest of pockets or clutch bags, the stylish HUAWEI Ascend P6 is designed to be seen and coveted! It features a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, Android 4.2.2 operating system, 2000mAh battery, 4.7-inch HD in-cell LCD screen technology, and ‘MagicTouch’ for enhanced screen responsiveness even when wearing gloves.

Huawei customises Android more heavily than any other manufacturer, with the possible exception of HTC. The P6 has the latest version of what Huawei calls the Emotion UI. This sits halfway between Android and iOS, in that it has widgets but does away with the distinction between homescreens and the app tray; your apps just sit on the homescreens.

The Ascend P6 has all the specs we'd expect from an upper-mid-range phone, and the slim metal chassis makes it feel like a quality bit of kit. We'll need to wait until we have a review sample before we can see how well it copes with our performance, camera and battery tests, but first impressions indicate this could be a seriously stylish and good-value smartphone.
