  • In which Countries, The Huawei Ascend P1s is Available ??? Again The P1s. ??? Or How Can I buy The P1s Online ???

  • cant u change mobile phone battery

  • Have it about 3 weeks now, so far so goood excellent phone. The good as follows: 1.Screen is sharp usable even in bright sun. 2.everything runs fast and smooth.I have an astronomy program,runs really fast which i was amazed at.(very processor intensive) 3. battery life is good you get a full day no problem with screen on a lot. 1 1/2 - 2 with little use. 4.sound is good to excellent on headphones but volume is not high enough I use neutron player to boost which is the best one i've used. 5. calls are very clear and external speaker is loud and not bad for music or radio as well. 6. movies play well very smooth and games too. 7.The only problem so far was trying to open an astonomy star map (vector) pdf (20mb)from sd. had to tranfer it to the phones memory for it to work smoothly. sd card read speed is to slow. same on computer. bluetooth works great no probs. 8. kindle and kobo readers work very fast easy to read. 9.usb connect no prob to win 7 64bit/ bluetooth connect to asus t101 tablet no prob. 10.internet, i use opera mobile, works as fast as my tablet.very usable for a phone even when not on wifi . 11. the camera: pictures are fast to take sharp and great for snaps etc havent printed one yet though. movie mode is up to full hd. havent tried it too much so cant comment ,looks good and works smooth. The bad: low volume is all, which is fixable. wish they would just chuck a 3000ma/hr battery in these so we could get a few days out of it.But thats the same for every other smart phone bar one. (one of the motorola's i think and 200 to 300 euro's more no thanks )IS NOBODY LISTENING, HELLO IS THERE ANYBODY IN THERE.STOP EATING BAGELS AND GIVE US BIGGER BATERIES PLEASE. conclusion so far 8.5 /10 1 lost for small battery and 1/2 for low volume otherwise 10. very happy with this phone perfect size without being a hassle. fast and smooth operation just as fast as my tablet. �249 was a good price on expansys (299 now)so hey what can i say. I will update in a few months

  • got mine on xpansys �249

  • since the battery is non-removable?so it means when the battery gets faulty, one will need to buy another phone??

  • I just bought my P1 yesterday. Shopping for a gud phone is like looking for a gud woman! I know blackberry users say "once u go black u cnt go back' but hey P1 IS THE PHONE TO HAVE!

  • u can get the Huawei Ascend with vodafone

  • That's a really good question. I want to buy this model too, but it seems it can't be find anywhere in Europe.

  • Is this p1s model available at all anywhere? anyone?

  • Huawei was established in 1987 by an ex chinese military officer named Ren Zhengfei.....This has nothing to do with Taiwan.

  • Not really, huawei is owned by Ren(a man in Taiwan), and most employees have stocks. It's not a company owned by Chinese army.

  • Just checked out their website, it says 7,69 mm. :|

  • Huawei is a chinese company.Huawei and ZTE are owned by the chinese army.get your facts right

  • Just give China the time and I bet they will design and produce the best smartphones in the world ... see what happen to Japanese cars today compare to 30 years ago! ... who want a Japanese car at that time?

  • Good phone. In Estonia price is 369� Normal sim, DLNA support, Antutu bench score 7600 (s3 was 8300). Graphics score was better then S3 Wery nice disain.

  • I agree with every word you said....Texas instruments is the leader in mobile chip tecnology and they produce very reliable products and huawei tecnologies co.ltd is the larget telecommunication company in the word...and they know their job very well.Very solid products, never had a problem and cheap too. good luck

  • I Purchase one huawei ascend its very bad touch & its too hanging problem & worst camera

  • Improve specification with FM radio. Price is high. It should in between Rs. 16000/- to Rs. 20000/-. Others seems to be very good.

  • hey mate, P1 and the P1s mobile phones from huawei are not much different the 's' in the p1s stands for slimmer. its a full millimetre thinner. and the p1s has a better battery aswell hope this helps :)

  • Too expensive =/ but good mobile very fast

  • The P1 is more affordable than the SII. with better specs and features. try both before judgement

  • 100% agree..

  • This Mobile Is Interesting Regarding The Hardwre Features... But Its Expensive too,If I had To buy i Will Simply Buy Samsung Galaxy S2..

  • 200 $ in china. Too much???

  • This phone its hardware specs look very interesting. 1.5Ghz Dualocre ( maxed out to normal ) But the battery is 1800mHa Which couldnt be bad? And the screen looks amazing too. If i had the money i would give it a try

  • Just try and then judge!

  • i prefer sony ericson.

  • Yeah, the P1 has a higher quadrant score than the S2, Droid Razr, at 3500.

  • Options to Improve:- 1.2MP Front camera 2.Pixel density 316Pi 3.Asha/siri talking 4.Dual core /Quad Core 5.

  • please do some research before you pretend to be some hardcore phone analyst .

  • No, it doesnt. It will cost over 350�.

  • an excellent smarthphone that can compete with the other big companies and with affordable and reasonable price..thumbs up HUAWEI!!!!!!

  • It cost around 289,90�,not much.

  • yes

  • The Super mobile. 6.7 ===>>:-O thinner of ipod!! WOOOW

  • Does this phone have USB on-the-go (OTG) support?

  • this mobile^s don

  • 6.7 yh...

  • yes, coz this product out from top telecom manufacture.

  • only HSPA... Have fun watching jittery online videos

  • ONly 6.8mm ....!!! Awesome...

  • Not sure what you're talking about. First, for the price, the specs are great. Second, my Huaweis have been amazing. They are less buggy than my Samsung (Ace). The fact that you use country of origin to assess a product's quality is amusing. Read product reviews to do that.

  • 1. The Cortex A9 is an ARM architecture based CPU which is used in not only this phone, but many others like the Snapdragon S4 and Nvidia Tegra 3 prossecor. This even shares the same SoC as the Nexus Prime, so I have no idea where your claims of bad CPU come from 2. As above, this shares the same SoC as the Nexus Prime, so unless if you are suggesting the GPU and performance of the Nexus Prime is bad, I have no idea what you are on about. 3. Most of the phones in the world are manufactured in China, like the iPhones, the Sony (Ericsson) handsets, the Nokia handsets and the Motorola handsets. Your statement leads to the logical conclusion that all the phones made by these brands are absolutely dreadful, and we all know that's not true. Even phones designed in China are good quality. If you've even heard of the ZTE Blade or Orange San Francisco, you'll know what I mean, otherwise actually do some research before you pretend to be some hardcore phone analyst and make conclusions on a phone you've never used or even seen before in real life

  • Do not think its gonna be a good phone 1. Its CPU is CORTEXT NOT ARM CORTEX A9. 2.GPU is pretty bad.It is equivalent of adreno 205 which is... 3.remember it is still huawei.It is totally MADE IN CHINA which means:BUGGY UI,SIGNAL PROBLEMS,UNEXPECTED REBOOTS,SCREEN FLASHES...want more?

  • My Nexus S runs ICS for over 2 months now and I am making it through the day with ease

  • That's all you notice? Not he fact that it's probably the world's thinnest phone?

  • Huawei should follow the footprint of motorola Droid Razr maxx regardiung battery of 3300 mAh because icecream sandwitch 4.0 will definitely consume larger battery, so stay connected through out the day 1800mAh battery will be proven insufficient.

  • ICS.. with 1.5 dual core processor... Interesting specs... This is the flagship of Huawei... I bet they release the phone with lower price than Galaxy s II, or else,, they stuck... ICS and 1.5 is a common stuff theese days

  • Anyone know if this is coming to criket?

  • ..hmm, to be honest Huawei is really gettin better at this.. the thing probably they would have to improve is just the design.. cuz the specs are all competetive, they can easily bring the Iphone specs down. (im an Iphone user by the way) im being honest. one thing as well that i think preventing them from being famous is the brand name? "HUAWEI"? well, no offense but, i think its too Chinese isnt it? if theyre trying to get to international scene, might as well you know? have a better name.. apart from the design and the brand name, i think everythings perfect..

  • I hope GSMArena reviews this phone soon.. Anf I hope HuaWei releases it soon too so we can know whether it's worth it to buy it or not.. :)

  • I love it consumers do need more choices,definitively this is a big HIT...! for iPhone and cronnies...!

  • Ice-cream does support flash. Read the article above

  • ofcourse FLASH works with ICS.. and even got updated few times last weeks for ICS (acceleration fixes) they wont release it anymore after ICS but that will take a while and then they might change again

  • which world r u livin in ????????

  • Ice Cream Sandwich does not have support for Adobe Flash, unfortunately.

  • Amazing!

  • no adobe flash?

  • There are Many androïde application that can provide this service

  • looks like Huawei and ZTE are making really good phones, both design and specs

  • Is there any radio function or radio recording?

  • The information provided in the specifications for Huawei Ascend P1 S is incorrect, this will be a LTE ready smart-phone. This is the main difference between P1 & P1S. The weight respectively will be different of the P1S.

  • m wati to buy wen it will be on market

  • hyee..i want to ask a question..when huawei want to launching this smartphone?..

  • sg2 and 4s combined.it better be good..

  • the best smartphone of the world for 2012. superb.

  • When I get it in Montreal,Canada And Where.

  • i m using ideos x5 n its superb phone. now im waiting for dis baby to release..hhaahaaahaaa

  • At 400$ or less I would buy one tomoorrow. 500$ or more, might just wait.

  • wow super phone super slim that is the specs of 2012 flagship but the price must b right

  • Nice one, this model will be good competition for Samsung nexus Telus, Will see the Race once it come down in Market

  • world record in 2012 for top graphics and thinnest mobile.

  • Sure

  • Thnx for your Ans.

  • yes u can use

  • Can I use it in Bangladesh with 2G-GSM Network

  • The Iphone 4S does not have the best camera, no way check the new sony devices and the new Htc Tintan II, the Iphone camera stays behind also the new 1.5 GHZ dual core chips have more raw power than the Iphone 4S processor, this Huawei well its a good phone but has very low memory 1 GB Ram is too low for the best phones like the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, iPHONE 4S, or the Nokia Lumia 900 and HTC TItan II...

  • I´m suprised, nice phone, its a copy of the samsung galaxy s II, but its good to see Huawei making quality phones if the final price is lower or equal than �350 it will be a best seller, only one thing to point it should have at least 8GB, but its specs are interesting, ;)

  • Hey Samsung!!! What are you looking at? Start working now....

  • This would be a great phone if this has tv out or dlna

  • No support FM radio ?

  • why does it have only 38 comm? i think it is bellissimo, love the specs, a dual-core is enought for a phone, and is very very ultaslim.

  • Love that thinness i hope we will see more such Phones but with better battery . Ps: And hzo waterblock

  • xaq: Huawei Ascend P1 S bee slimer, Huawei Ascend P1 bee a litil bit dicker and will have 4G.

  • Never thought I'd live to see such a beast. Definitely my next phone.

  • The Battery :p

  • Battery: Standard battery, Li-Ion 1670 mAh vs. Standard battery, Li-Ion 1800 mAh

  • This phone is going to be available from Micromax at a price value of UED 1200 in UAE through Micromax retail partners in Dubai from October, 2012.

  • gaaaaaaiz.. whats the difference b/w Huawei Ascend P1 and Huawei Ascend P1 S??? any idea..???

  • love this phone man.i will buy if the price is around 2500-2800 RMB.

  • World thinnest (6.7mm)superfone with corning glass screen protection, super AMOLED ,256 pixels resolution at almost quarter the price of ip4s and 7 grands cheaper than the current Lumia 800 price. Woh! what a killer Chinese nuclear Bomb of 2012...... ***** rated.

  • No NFC?

  • Iphone 4S beats everything in terms of computing and graphics power and has a way better camera. But I wan't this Huawei phone will be probably getting it if the price is ok!

  • This phone will definitely beat IPHONE 4S. What a great smart phone

  • the P1 s is thinner, look at the dimensions.

  • just the diffrence in battery to make this one more slim but why most of the people wud go for better battery smartphone already eats lots of battery on andriod.

  • where the radio

  • Why only chinese phone uses TI OMAP ? i think this is a very capable one, yet cheap. i once have a china brand WM phone that utilized 600mhz TI OMAP , but perform better than other higher clock procie

  • Wanna be Samsung? Specs are nothing innovative, but you can expect cheap pricing from this Chinese manufacturer. I expect terrible support and instability as it is their initial entry in high end smartphones. Best bet of trying it out is if I get it for free... Otherwise sticking with my S2 and Note

  • I don't think so. Huawei is not a high price phones.

  • Usually,Huawei make a cheap phone with good quality....... I hope ascend p1 s like that too...

  • Does huawei have a skin layered on top of the android os? It's not listed here.

  • why do u ho�e that? there is no real difference other than the size of the plastic part of SIM...u can make micro sim, out of normal sim by yourself..

  • Does it supports web flash player? If not, I will stick to my Samsung Galaxy S2!

  • looking good, very nice specs , seems now that samsung is doing well the first "ripoff" looks great and that with the 1.5 cpu. my bet is samsung is behind this company and it will give apple so much more competition. as far as i know the chipset is made by samsung. can't wait to get my hands on it.

  • Where can we possibly purchase this phone? Love it!

  • Why 2 same phone with same specs and everything but different names? I mean HUAWEI ASCEND P1 and HUAWEI ASCEND P1 S

  • No HDMI... yeah, indeed... BUT not even DLNA so that can play wirelessly through a DLNA device!

  • No adobe flash support

  • huawei.. y u have S2 body??? no matter the specs... at least make different design.. will never buy this

  • Hello, there is HDMI out. Regards.

  • nice... happy to see new players in the heavyweight category nice design too

  • huawei !!!!! hmmm specs r good. keep it up. u arouse from noware. but good work

  • i hope this support a normal sim not a MICRO SIM!! and wait! no HDMI OUT???

  • the price will be high

  • The voting results is very high?How can this results be exact, so far that Gsm arena don't test this device??

  • super slim... is this posible?? woww.. can't imagine

  • Super thin phone with a fantastic screen.

  • looks good..........
