Huawei Ascend P2 - User Reviews

  • hauwie p2 phone is garbage....will not charge

  • F this phone. I have it play music on the background and while I was on facebook as soon as the notification tone sounded, it jammed the music and boom all sounds were off. I tried restarting the device but thats it, my music/sound chip is destroyed. Poor phone. It has heating issues too. Ton of BS. Don't buy this phone. Rating? No stars ever.

  • i need that phone in pakistan .i really l0ve this phone i used it almost 1 year now its lct broken by me and not available in pakistan..

  • i can't open my p2-6070 huawe ascend it's only 5months old

  • The phone overheats easily. And I too can't post pics on instagram.

  • Ive been using Huawei P2 Ascend for almost a year now. When a week ago we went on for a vacation. I charged my phone on a power bank for awhile and after that I cannot open it anymore. Like it is stucked on the logo everytime it powers on and always shuts down. But when I open it while charging it works fine. Is the problem with the battery or the phone itself? Is there any way I can fix it or should I handle it to the experts? Thank's yall

  • What model was the battery you replaced? Do you know if HB4Q1HV works?

  • Replaced the battery

  • I have same experience regarding my p2 I already look for a battery and they said they have no battery for huawei p2 that its already phase out haaay then I even contacted the main service center and they said they are no available battery for huawei p2 until now I couldn't use my phone its charging but I couldn't open it when I try to open it shutdown 😞😭😭&#128­557;

  • Same exprerience as mine. I don't know what to do. Have you tried to replace your battery?

  • What will I do to my phone, huawei p2. It always get shuttingdown when not connected to charger. Now i am using my phone connected to its charger. Gosssshh my phone is in charging for 1week. Its 100% charged but whenever i unplug, there goes shutdown. Any solution ?

  • I had the same experienced and much worst was the program was corrupted, I had to bring it to the technician and install new program for 800php. Good thing is I could use my IG but the performance is not as good as before!

  • Hard reset

  • Still no answers on how solve the problem with the uploading to instagram issue

  • even me i cannot post in instagram

  • huawei i just bought my phone this september 10 and now it just hanged up and i cant turn it on please help

  • my phone just turn off and i can't turn it on its sucks...

  • i can't post picture on instagram

  • How do you reset the factory thing that you said

  • i bought my huawei ascend p2 last october 2015.. after a week the battery suddenly dained and it shuts down for about 4 hours it doesnt charge and totally dead for 4 hours.. after several months the phone gets laggy and always hanged up and it also shutsdown for almost 8 hours. so i got a problem about this phone it is easily overheat specially when you do games even a game which is not a high end games it gets laggy and its battery easily gets low bat.. then a month ago my huawei shutsdown and not charge for even a days and weeks.. i thought it was totally dead so i standby it for about a month and i took it to the technician to check if the phone was be fixed.. the tech said that the problem is the cpu itself so i decided to buy another phone and put it to the trash... but days gone by i try to charge the phone and in my surprised the phone charged and it goes to normal. i think that phone has security features which in case overheat comes it shuts down itself and let is cool for a while.. but for me i regret buying this phone due to overheat but also im happy that the phone is not totally dead..

  • Can't turn it off

  • Cant blame it for heating up coz my data connection and wifi hotspot is on 24/7

  • Mine works fine except for the flash

  • do no buy this phone nothing but problems, over heating, fire risk, you cant turn it on or off, it wont charge , phones been returned for repair numerous times. horrendous

  • Same problem on my phone... Don' t have home ,back and menu button

  • Bought this phone last Nov. 14, 2014. And now I sent it under repair (Hopefully it will be back to me fixed in less than a month - too much time to wait). Glad it's still warranty covered but the sales clerk told me once they have proven that the automatic restarting is a user-fault, then the warranty will be void. Looking forward to updating this review. I have mine automatic restarting perhaps due to battery overheating as the phone gets too hot.

  • - Purchased this unit last Dec 31, 2014 - Cellphone shops said, it was a sale phone limited on stocks sold in Australia - No charger included inside the original box, need to purchased grade A charger. - Mid-Jan 2015, the home button light disappear but still working when press - April 2015, started to experienced hard pressing home button. - Mid May 2015, home button malfunction and started to restart until cannot be used. - Resetted to factory setting but still home button not functioning and keep on restarting. --------------------- - The home, close button near to space bar which most of the time it closes when typing text messages. - Cellphone shop where I bought the unit said, you need to be careful when typing -- not a good suggestion???? - No updates available from phone... - It seems, they build, you buy and they (Huawei) forget your phone. - Big company but poor support to their customer. Now selling P7....wow! don't be misguided when buying from this brand.

  • Phone is pathetic. Within a couple of months of receiving the phone, my back button stopped working along with the home button, and my power button doesn't work. I've had enough and paid a rather large upgrade fee, best choice of my life. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

  • This phone is suck. My home button and back button sometimes are not working i need it to reboot to make the button work again. Always hot

  • The flashlight suddenly keeps on turning off... That sucks...

  • over heats a lot! Low Android version, money wasted on a not up to standard phone.

  • Good day sir, I bought my Huawei P2 phone last February 2015. I would like to ask on how to cool down my phone because it kept on hanging. I was using my fb on my phone and suddenly it hang. The back of my phone is hot and I cannot use it. Please help me. Thanks.

  • My huawei ascend p2 32gb is only php8990.00.. but it is easily gets hot at its back .. and the flash of camera not working sometimes. The specs are great but as i see the quality is not good!

  • For all those who are complaining of the led flash that wont work sometimes,it is becoz the back of the fone is still hot..cool it down first..

  • I bought the phone (top spec huawei ascend p2) about 5 months ago and all i have had is problems with it, its been sent back to huawei 6 times in 5 months, each time it comes back with more problems then it went away with! the first it started to smoke because it overheated so that apparently got repaired (but definitely wasn't) and they sent it back and then the "back, home and info button" stopped working and got sent off for this, (these problems are still present) and many more problems with it like the speakers giving up, charger point and m.i.c have stopped working... i would highly recommend that you DON'T BUY THIS PHONE! I have sent many emails and letters to huawei trying to get a new phone sent, to no avail! so now im using an iphone 5s

  • I take back everything i say about my ascend p2. I just reset it to factory settings and the fone starts to work again greatly. Come to conclusion that u just have to be careful in downloading apps coz some apps beats the ram..

  • Hi. I bought my p2 yesterday. When i got home i tried to connect to wifi but the device cannot find the name. Why is that happening?also the back of my phone easily gets hot even im only surfing not playing games. Please gelp

  • 8999 are 16gb and 9999 are 32gb p2..

  • Just this last weekend my Ascend P2 started acting strangely, apps kept crashing, even built-in ones like Settings. Now the phone wont boot, it stays stuck on the animated Huawei logo. I have tried all types of Power+Volume-button combos, but cannot get further than the Huawei logo screen. Beware of this phone, I say. Backup regularly. If I had known what I know now, I would backup daily!

  • got the 16gb version :'(

  • on what specific store? still got stocks? thnx

  • I dont believe it because my p2 32gb last 2 to 3days

  • get kitkat please

  • Had one of these when they first came out. Brilliant phone, never had a single problem with it, found the connection speed plenty fast enough at the time. The only reason I don't have this phone any more is because I upgraded to the Honor 6.

  • Am upgrade to KitKat iny ascend p2..

  • I hope huawei will soon release an upgrade to my ascend p2....thanks

  • Too bad still no updates for kitkat

  • Last septmember to early october,they are sellin 32gb for only 8999.00 but by november,price rose to 9999.

  • Mine is 32gb.it cost P9999. Bought it from huawei store,sm fairview

  • this have a external memory slot?..

  • Hi, what store did you buy your unit? are there still available p2 2gb ram? TIA

  • I got my P2 32GB for 8990 at huawei store in SM North.

  • like if you bought your huawei ascend p2, 32gb - 2gb ram for 8999 pesos only. :d

  • Mine is also the 16gb and 1gb ram version and cost me 8990. Pretty sure the 32gb, 2gb one costs around p1500 more cause i inquired about it at memo express SM valenzuela branch.

  • Mine is also the 16gb and 1gb ram version and cost me 8990. Pretty sure the 32gb, 2gb one costs around p1500 more cause i inquired about it at memo express SM valenzuela branch.

  • Hi! try going to settings-power manager here you'll see three options. Choose either normal or optimum performance and then restart the phone. Hope this helps.

  • where did you buy your phone? mine is also 8990 but 16gb 1 ram only.. :(

  • I have huawei ascend p2. so far, it's good. but is there anyway that i can change the font? and whenever i play clash of clans or any other games, the respond of my phone is slower than my dual core phone. why is that?

  • Yes. We just bought a 32gb unit. It works fine.

  • just got mine 2 days ago. flash stopped working but it worked after fully charging it. maybe the phone wont allow you to use the flash (camera, video, flashlight app) if the phone has low battery life. use it most of the time as wi-fi hotspot. no issues. got 32GB 2GB ram version for only 8990PHP. :D

  • When will be the release of update of 4.4. of Huawei P2?

  • I have been using Huawei P2 32gig and 2gig RAM version for at least 3 months now and I am fairly happy with it. I really cannot complain much on the battery as I basically have my portable wifi hotspot turned on practically for half of the day and sometimes longer so I have no choice but to carry with me a power bank to give the battery enough juice to last the whole day or at least while I am out. Although I did try it several times during weekend not to use the portable hot spot as I have wifi at home and it does last longer. I am using right now two other phones; Iphone 5 and a BlackBerry Z10 and spec wise all three are pretty close to each other including the battery. But since I use the data plan on my P2 (with or without wifi)surely it is the fastest one to run out of juice among the three phones. But in general I have had no problems with it similar to the issues I have read in the comments. I guess I am lucky to get a good unit or so. My only gripe if there is one is that like one guy mentioned for this particular model it would seem Huawei has no plan to allow SW updates. But honestly that is not a deal breaker for me. I am fine using it's current android version of 4.1.2. I did not buy this phone for its software. I bought it for its spec plus the fact Huawei offered a 60% discount so to me its a steal and great deal. Absolutely no complaints.

  • so i have this huawei p2 for about 3months, and i have problem about it .. my wifi connection is always automatically disconnected and all i have to do is reboot my phone for about 2-3 hours to connect again. its always happening and it sucks !! what should i do ?

  • i have .. my huawei p2 is 32gb

  • hello how do you turn of the LTE setting?

  • will there be an android 4.4 version for this?

  • yes it has .. im one of the brand ambassador of huawei and 16gb rom and 1gb ram and 32gb rom and 2gb ram

  • I bought my huawei p2 3mons ago. Now, the led flash isn't working. I tried taking pictures while the lights are out but still it didn't work automatically.

  • I have the 32 GB version

  • is there any other huawei P2 phone? i heard from someone that there is a huawei P2 phone with a 32gb internal

  • Good day Angel, you are wondering why yoir HUAWIE P2 is Heating when you use your internet? If yoir using Mobile data trafic its natural. This is My suggestion. If yoir using Wifi only you can turn of the setting of the LTE signal of your network so that you can save more power and the heat will be lesser. Thank you 😄

  • I have the GL07S which is the Japanese version of this phone with a virtually identical spec. The phone is one year old and the power button has been failing on it for weeks. I just had to install a software fix to use the volume button to turn the phone on. A phone that lasts just one year what would you think? Needless to say I won't be recommending or buying Huawei again. I should also add that they don't issue Android updates so you're stuck with whatever version your phone comes in. Avoid.

  • pls. what shud i do, my p2 is not booting up, i've done hard reset wipe data/cache, but still not booting up, it stay at huawei logo....pls guys help me....

  • pls. what shud i do, my p2 is not booting up, i've done hard reset wipe data/cache, but still not booting up, it stay at huawei logo....pls guys help me....

  • I agree. I didn't use it for a day and it was on full charge but when i check it, the phone is already off. The battery is not good at all.

  • Absolutely horrific phone. Didn't work out of the box, hardware issues involving the screen and HD images, cut out the sim card whenever it felt like, which could be up to 25 times in a day, causing constant restarts. Shut down apps when it felt like, terrible battery life, needlessly slippery design meaning it was useless to use with gloves on, even though it specifically shouted about its gloves mode. Refused to notify me on updates from time to time, still on 4.1 Jellybean even though updates to 4.3 and 4.4 were promised: never delivered by Huawei through obvious lack of care. Got incredibly slow, incredibly quickly and called for constant restarts, awful cropping mechanism in the default gallery meant it was essential you download something else such as QuickPic. Froze frequently,ugly and unchangeable UI, which looks stupidly childish and simplistic, and a total absence of an app tray means your screen would get very clogged, very quickly. The one and only positive is that it's aesthetically nice. 1/10. Practically no redeeming qualities on this phone.

  • this phone is mid level class.:)

  • for those who cez that the flashlight is working only in a month..try to think..try to turn your lights off then take a picture .. so u will find out that flash it automatically

  • at 1st month the led flash of my p2 is working good even in video recording....but on its 2nd month the flash of my p2 isnt working anymore....why is that?

  • My huawei p2 is heating while im using the net, and the battery life is quite short, is it normal for p2? Tnx

  • this phone is pretty much good but i have one question to all the huawei p2 users: pretty much all im doing is browse the internet but this phone only lasts about 3 hrs. is this normal for p2 or my model has defect?

  • Hey bro.. where did u download nba2k14? Tnx a lot

  • is the front cam good?

  • i can play nba 2k14 in my huawei p2.. nice

  • Can P2 install with NBA2K14? Actualy im planning to buy P2, is my money worth buying this gadget? In what way?

  • Well, I am happy using Huawei, my first Huawei phone still working good, and when I saw that they put on sale Huawei Ascend P2 last Saturday, I don't have a second to grab and bought this unit, I am satisfied. Really affordable LTE /3G mobile unit, what else can you ask for more? Just Manage the application , to clear the cache from time to time to save battery power..

  • Have had this phone for about 2 months. Well it was only for a bout $199 NZD so it was really cheap for its specs. Camera takes good photos outside during daylight but struggles under low light but still gets the job done and front camera is decent for selfies. Buttons are responsive and the dedicated 2 stage camera shutter is really nice. Its lightweight but personally i think its too light so i bought a case for it so thats fine, pretty much just plastic all round but i can live with that. Can play most 2d games and majority of high 3d games but some games like asphalt 8 is playable but framerate is really bad. Call quality is great, wifi signal is great, emotion ui is meh but i use nova launcher so thats all good.Battery life is above average as i can get about 4 hours of screen time on before i need to charge (around 10%) and under normal usage, you should be able to last a whole day but warning - it will turn off when ur at 2% so charge before that. The thing im disappointed is the the ram. Marketing says its got 1gb of ram but its only actually got around 798mb and only about 400-300mb is available so multitasking is a pain. Also software support for this phone is pratically nothing, huawei pretty much forgot about this phone and don't expect any update ever which sucks because it would've been nice to see at least kitkat running on this phone. For benchmark i get around 16.5k on antutu and around 5000 on quadrant. If anyone looking to buy this phone i recommend you do but just download a different launcher if emotion ui doesn't suit ur liking because overall for its price, its got really good specs.

  • best phone

  • in greece you can find it at the price of around 190 euros

  • I was just wondering would this phone be a good buy if you are looking for good memory for games and music?

  • Superb, the best I ever had

  • (y)

  • I've owned this model for quite a while now and can say that the camera is superb, I bought it mainly for that reason and I like that it has a physical shutter button as well as the screen button. the phone functions exactly as it should, It's odd that the main reason for having a phone is often the one thing that is not commented on! On the minus side, the battery life is not brilliant, but it seems that most smart phones are daily chargers also, so it's just a matter of forgetting the old dumb phones with the 30 day batteries and accepting daily charging! the second niggle is the fact that the screen defaults to half brightness arbitrarily and this has to be reset manually every time. I realise that this is Huawei's attempt to maximise battery life but it is so annoying. Overall, it's a good phone that's bordering on VERY good.

  • not bad........not bad at all

  • Hi, so I have had this phone for 7 months now and I've noticed a lot of bad points and good points (more bad than good) Pros �Its relatively cheap �has a big display �camera is very good �flash is very bright �colours on the phone are very vibrant �is fast at some points Cons �slow most of the time �cant use an SD card �flash light doesn't work sometimes �crashes a lot �WiFi messes up on it all the time (requires reboot) �camera quality is terrible as you zoom �constant brightness change - in other words the brightness changes every 5 mins on some days and is a pain in the butt! I rate the phone 3 star out of 5 If anyone knows how to sort some of the cons out it would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do you reset to factory settings?

  • Hi, I am on Vodafone contract and have a Huawei Ascend P2. I cannot get the 4G to work on this handset at all. I have tried in the APN settings to set it to LTE but this then stops me from connecting to the internet etc. In mobile networks it shows only Vodafone 3g and 4G. Shame as phone is a really fast piece of kit. Any one else has problems with this handset with regards to 4g?

  • hey guys Can someone please tell me how much this phones cost in Italy esp. Huawei Ascend series and Nokia lumia series

  • like the phone but wish it comes with more features like cound down to something like more apps you can download

  • Yes This Was The Great Mobile

  • This Is Nice Phone...

  • Hai i am using the phone huawei xcelent made in china Most of the electronic goods made and assemble prc

  • Hai i am using the phone huawei xcelent made in china Most of the electronic goods made and assemble prc

  • great phone is it naaat

  • Im not chinese and i dont wanna defend the chinese. But dont you know that the iPhone and other top phones there are mostly made in China? So that iphone youre holding now, or probably a samsung or whatever, maybe made in china.

  • Whst about the ( TV out ) on this phone ?? Who has test it.

  • Made from is always China,Huawei company is a Chinese company. so original is from China. If made from any country which is not China, then you have to be suspicious about that phone. For battery, most android smart phones last a working day under normal use, So it depends how you use your phone. what is on paper may not be practical and one's experience with battery use may not be the same with the other.

  • I have a 64gb tablet I have another of photo and some music and alot of apps and it only took up 10gb so I think it will be enouth.

  • I have a 64gb tablet I have another of photo and some music and alot of apps and it only took up 10gb so I think it will be enouth.

  • can anyone cfm that the Ascend P2, despite being a made in china phone - does not supoprt chinese input or display ??

  • where can I get the p2 or p6 in South Africa .looking to buy one also what there price range .

  • Everything is available in this phone Dud.........

  • bro suggest me 1 huawei phone which has specs like screen 4.3inch or not more than 4.7inch, 8 megapixl and 1 day lasting battery , 8 or 16gb internal memory wth card slot, good music quality. no prblm for me if camera not much good

  • I agree with him...No matter how fast your phone is...if the ram is a downside I think it will crash you apps especially if you are a hard bounder player....

  • If i where to choose between Huawei Ascend P1 LTE and Huawei Ascend P2 what phone will you recomand me. I look firs at the price, but them same from where I will buy it and specs. Thanks.

  • If your wanting the space for music, use Google music, upload up to 20,000 for free and access them anywhere for free :D its what I do with photos ect

  • It has about 11.2 GB user available space, which isn't enough for me. :(

  • about 11 g will be free :/

  • that is very well but not comparable than with best firm. i wish other corp is better.

  • Hi, GSM arena says that the P2 has 16 GB internal memory but no mention of free space. How much memory is user-available?

  • It made in China

  • this phone is from china and all specs are amazing including battery life try ascend p 6

  • china..

  • Can anybody tell me which country Huawei is made in? and what is the battery life, is it as good as claimed?

  • I am Tanzania, how can I get one of these and by how much Tshs.?

  • Typing on p2 now. Although it's my 1st smartphone so I've nothing to compare it to, I like the thing. Battery not great but I don't need it to be, simple controls, scary good predictive typing that learns my stylistic quirks... but for me what kills it is I can use it as a WiFi hotspot for my laptop with speeds as good as my old broadband. Downsides are sometimes main touch controls are a bit sensitive, I can't organise the menu screens like I'd prefer, camera's flashy but impractical, and USB to laptop for file transfer or tethering is flawed. But overall it's pretty damn diggety. :)

  • Bought p2 for my wife after looking at other handsets of a similar price, bought it from 3 for 300 GBP, camera is awesome but that was a main reason for buying it. Download speeds are incredible and put my htc one x to shame. The only down point that I can find with this handset is that it was a bit jumpy playing real racing 3, I would have also liked 2gb ram like in the p6 but hey they'll probably release a p2 power plus LOL. It supports usb otg and mhl compatibility, I've seen a few reviews where others have said there's not enough storage on the handset but with usb otg and lots of free cloud like dropbox/cx it shouldn't be an issue. Overall its a stunning well crafted handset and is well worth the 300 quid price tag. Bang for buck its a great phone.

  • when will it be available in kenya?

  • how can i find in kenya?

  • You are just a huawei hater...who has very little knowledge of of this company. 1..huawei is the largest telecommunication company in the world with over 450 patents. The back bone of your mobile network is huawei. That make great products and I never had any problem with them. MY LG 3d went for repair next day....Samsung died within six months. Shit batteries and designs and prices only a mad insect will pay what that ask for.

  • yah! Its bad

  • This is availabe in India yoge bro

  • when come to delhi this phone tell me

  • when released in india .........pls tell

  • Japan is the first country that P2's available in.

  • we have it here in Bulgaria :)

  • Dumb. Where is the 2GB RAM.

  • The page now says "released April 2013"... where was it released in?

  • RAM is crucial, but for the Icecream/Jellybean players only who run a whole lot of apps at once. Remember, RAM allows you to Storage/Randomly Access Memory like apps are put into memory instead of being read directly from the internal/external storage all the time, but the CPU is the brain, pushing how fast things respond. Dual-core 1.5Ghz is fine, quad-core 1.4-5Ghz is great! 1GB of RAM is vital, 2GB is amazing. More is always better, and mind you; Huawei is taking a great approach to this market. They are producing amazing CPUs in-house, with smooth graphics, that beat a lot of the 2012 4th-Quarter flagships. Research and know what you're talking about, before creating false rumours. Peace~ -Hellatruvios

  • i like huawei. :)

  • RAM is not important for multitasking????? Are you drunk?

  • Quard core is the only thing who is important to multitasking, and its not the RAM. Youre right, that it isnt doing the phone faster, but when its only a dual core, the phone will be slower, if you have more than 2 programs open, when if you have a quard core, youre fone will only be slower if you have more than 4 programs open! ;-)

  • Wtf Who think this isnt real? It's all real, and the smartphone comes out in the end of may!

  • Just cry, it all is true. Amazing smartphone, not junk like Aphone.

  • For crying out loud. This was rumours story and it was found to be not true in the end. You people believe everything you read

  • No they haven't. I had the G300 and it was rock solid with very tough gorilla glass

  • Apple didn't invent IPS

  • I think that apple made IPS screens popular and people like to have great viewing angle

  • why would someone want ips display on a phone?

  • Battery test???!!!!!!!!

  • No card slot!

  • Can't buy it for more than the price of a midrange, sorry. It's a Huawei.

  • Worry that if your working for CIA,MI5,MOZAD or any government agencies that do a covert operation!hahaha!You funny guy:-)))

  • its good

  • didn't you heard about Black Berry.

  • haha, you really are afunny guy

  • like what??? what false promise do they have(have not)??

  • why its only 1GB RAM? bb z10 has 2gb ram with only 2 core cpu. quadcore is not important, dual core is more than enough. give it a higher RAM for stability in multitasking

  • Huawei is cheater always. They usually do not have what they said. Beware guys.... DO NOT FALL IN HUAWEI TRAP

  • no card slot no 32/64gb version sorry its a failure

  • This is pure slander

  • specs nice but no mem card slot?.....? pls in this time?then it shud've 64gb internal or both.then again some tv-out .

  • And Tv-out???

  • Good spec i think it will run good. . . . . . . In market

  • how to get this phone

  • no card slot.... I not buy

  • Probably not, i'll look at iphone 5S/6 late 2013 or Galaxy S5, or Z10 if Rim survives that long, next year, no hurry

  • no card slot.... will not buy.

  • this is great. why would you need a memory card if u have 16 freaking GB ha :-)

  • will wait first for the full review before I decide...

  • no memory card that mean useless handphone for me

  • To Prabu A: What the hell did you smoked?

  • sorry this device not memori card

  • Use WIFI in this device.

  • Use Global Tatoo wifi in this device.

  • use 3140 mah battery in this hauwei ascend p2.

  • heard Chinese electronic companies put spying chips in products they sell.

  • Use Nice Software in this Device for Recording purpose.Add This Application in Device.

  • No SD card slot?

  • People keep arguing about the specs, you need to realize that this one is aiming at budget high specs smartphones. Huawei Ascend line is like this: the "Y" stands for Youth, "G" for Gold, "P" for Platinum and "D" For Diamond, thats why Ascend D2 Specs are higher than P2 because it is intended for a higher type of consumer that cares about stuff like 1080P screen etc... Even though these two posses the same processor, camera and others.

  • I prefer Lg optimus G or Lg optimus G Pro

  • Hey u can u tell me which company is giving 1.8ghz procasser with 4core

  • Nice great phone...

  • Nice great phone...

  • Ya..nice phone luk gud battry gud cam gud ram gud fastest but not mentioned.

  • Ya..nice phone luk gud battry gud cam gud ram gud fastest but not mentioned.

  • I would strongly recommend people against buying this phone, Huawei has got the worst build quality

  • No news for p2 mini?

  • wait for ur grandchildren to have children.!

  • please don't buy any phone, wait for iphone 100, samsung galaxy s100, otherwise htc one 101, dont wast ur money

  • People wake up... this phone is going to be awesome and so is its price

  • A higher frequency (i.e 1.6ghz) doesn't mean more performance. Nor does more cores. Architecture is what matters. Don't brush it off just because it has the same number of cores and the same frequency as an excellent tablet.

  • Why on External Card Support ??

  • sounds like its going to be a fast phone with not so bad graphics. But i still think that samsung S4 is going to be faster )

  • This phone is good but huawei dissapointed me. I thought they gonna go with 4core 1.8 proccessor . That would was amazing. But now its just like like nexus 4 with huge price

  • good mobile

  • Really great features which any other high end brand can provide and if cost effective then really fly high,....

  • It's a good phone..

  • funny to ask that .. what about apple servers which are storing all your gps coordinates since you switched your phone on for the first time .. rather china then usa ; )

  • No card slot disappointment.. LTE frequency band not specified..

  • Awesome specifications... I like it so much...

  • with all the talks of china spying on everyone, does anyone really want to buy electronics from china??? regardless of how nice it is???

  • 20 years that is before Google or even Microsoft Are you from this planet

  • Its been 6 years since Android Os... U mad?

  • Too bad, no HSDPA 850 (Telstra Australia) I wish the battery is 3000 mAH. Otherwise, I will definitely buy this phone. (not too big (less than 4.8 inch)

  • Android has been around for 20 years? Oh you must be a fool...or have a time machine.

  • yeah right , like that matters. i've been an android user for 20 years , and believe me , it was as good it was back then as it is good now. i don't know why people hold onto apple this much , i mean it's a good company , but only in motor-cycle buisness , not on gadgets. ma grandfather always hated apple , he said there are proven documents that state apple is responsible for WWII , and they actually get the idea of ios OS from the kamikaze incident. now they throw their iphones into our brain , and out of a sudden some stupid kids want iphone so bad that they wet their pants. android is good , huawei is better , hope android could learn more from huawei and be more like it. with all the flashes and CJ and KL that is up to date. thank you huawi , you're good , but android is better.

  • in your dreams !!

  • Good looking phone

  • Apple fan boys check out this link, to know what retina is

  • Nice looking and wonderfull Features

  • it can not compete with htc one.

  • nice one, i always think that 5.0 inch and 1080p is overkill, 2400mAh battery sound nice too for a 4.7 inch. I hope the 13mp live up to its number.

  • Huawei honor 2 better if compare

  • its performance will be even better than xperia z and s3

  • 490 ppi its insanely over-kill human eyes cant differentiate that much

  • This is what xperia z or htc one should have, big brands big shame. Waiting for it eagerly...

  • Beware! Huawei uses it's own processor? not yet bench marked and performance not tested. Specifications are impressive on paper only!!

  • Awezing specification I hv p1 its awezing phone now waiting for p2.....

  • Awezing specification I hv p1 its awezing phone now waiting for p2.....

  • specification look super on paper. now,whether its battery is user replaceable or not is very very important for most customers.

  • ahh i dont good in english :>

  • this phone are amazing-fast 1.8 ghz quad core processor,the perfect screen size and 490 ppi,just amazing camera 13 mpx,good battery and cool desing.just amazing phone!

  • Screen size is said to be 5.0 inches, not 4.5

  • india jealous's from pakistan seeing doing business in pakistan.... Huawei rocks! keep it up Huawei

  • dude ur government has been trying to ban huawei in india because it is doing business in the country called pakistan .. they say either stop in pakistan or u remain banned..

  • OMG, as if the ascend p1 isnt good inough, surely this is the phone that will put the statement straight to the competitors, Huawei is hear! that ppi is super for a 4.5inch screen, and that processor speed coupled with that battery life is out of this world.. I own the Ascend P1 and honestly it is better then many super brands out there and it is so well priced, let me just put it to u the huawei ascend P1 is a masterpiece, and this if true is a super fone on its own.. pitty Huawei does not distribute their products to all parts of the world they have not developed a startegy that can rival Samsung etc but this is the phone that could possibly earn them a spot in the list of the greatest or the best products in the mobile world.

  • Quad core with what GPU? 1080p on a 4.5 screen is a very impressive static display. This better have fast gpu support animations and other moving displays on a 1080p screen. It should do good on 3D games for rendering those lot of pixels.

  • data up+down=money out from phone

  • nub, learn the difference between Retina display and amoleds and then comment

  • Apple IPhn5 ...ROFLOL... check out the PPI of the screen ...apple is nowhere in race with this 326 of apple compared to 441 ppi..

  • If your father can pay data cost and the manufacturer can juice the phone with a bigger battery then I have no complain. For your information when you compare a note 2 to a htc butterfly you hardly notice a difference with a naked eye. It doesn't matter how many pixel per inch there are. What it matters is the display technology of the display. That's why a full HD TFT Display will hardly do any better than a HD Super Amoled one or a puremotion HD+ one. It's just a marketing point to sell devices and attract & fool customers. And I'm not an Apple fanboy. I'm a sony and Nokia one.

  • LOL why u apple fanboys keep on saying stupid things like that? retina its good, its an LG's IPS LCD.. this monster will either have SA or an IPS with a monster PPI there's no retina to beat that xD, just please know what your talking about before making a statement you'll just embarrass yourself and apple ;). ( and HTC has those super LCD which are amazing also, there's no winner, there's preference among the top, retina is falling short atm.. )

  • anybody buy this phone? plz share it's fature & experience...

  • Great phone with great power... Its soo sad why Huawei isn't available in India

  • You can't be a SmartphoneGeek if you don't like more pixels and better displays. Why complain? Always it is too little or too much.

  • Big deal? Apple's retina display is only able to throw out 326 ppi with a resolution of 640x 1136. This has a 490 ppi pixel density with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, full 1080p. Apple is garbage and only for mainstream people, who think android is too complicated. Maybe your parents bought you an iphone 5, like all the other fanboys.

  • Have you seen any 440dpi (or more) display in person?And have you compared them directly to the iPhone?seems to me that pro reviewers around the globe are usually blown away by the fullHD ones (440dpi and more). Retina by Apple is "only" 326dpi. But don't get me wrong - iPhone has great display indeed. But fullHD seems to be a touch better and more.

  • don't feed the troll ppl, Retina is just a name... not a technique.

  • Better?really?Full HD 1920x1080 441 ppi(iphone 5-326 ppi,640 x 1136)

  • ''retina'' is called because of high pixel destiny this ... this is super + retina display WTF 490 ppi O_o

  • Big deal. Apple has retina display which is much better and efficient.

  • If this phone will arrive in the philippines, and its price will be below 15k php .. I will surely buy this.

  • Wow the Chinese are taking over now killer spec smart phones us you better start get prepared

  • This thing with 720p display will already be fine... Less pixels= more power and more battery life

  • Now chinese announcing that he can not only built awesome things for others but also for his brand and guess what it is much better than others.

  • u dreaming dudeee...4,5" 490ppl? 2gb ram quad 1,8ghz looks tooo much,seriously if the rumor is true,then will be the best phone ever

  • The phone looks delicious. Do Huawei have good UI?

  • Awesome phone...that too at 15k...really awesome

  • Actually you are right its nothing more then a pixel war,what they actually need to do is increase battery life with a quad core latest supporting chip-set,2 Gb ram enough and a descent gpu and all chip-sets must be very efficient in utilizing power so that we can actually rely on 1 smartphone for atleast 2 years and 400PPI is more then enough for any eye

  • nice mobile with nice specs.

  • The pixel war has started. The one with more pixels win. This is really really lame. Nobody needs 1080p display in a 4.5inch phone. It just doubles data usage and data cost. I'm sure next year phones will be coming with 4K Displays just to win the pixel war.

  • Amazing smart phone! These guys are working very hard.
