For anyone keeping track, Huawei has been doing a pretty good job in the smartphone world as of late. Despite not having a particularly big presence in the U.S., Huawei had a 6% market share in the smartphone industry to finish 2013 which puts them third among all phone manufacturers behind Samsung and Apple; not a bad achievement at all. Huawei is looking to start 2014 with a bang by bringing in a successor to its Ascend P6 device, presumed to be named the Huawei Ascend P7, only 8 months after the P6 was launched.
The P7 is expected to have a 5-inch 1080p display, a quad-core HiSilicon processor clocked at 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM and a 13MP camera. Those specs, and pending the price, should put the P7 somewhere in the mid-range to upper-mid-range phones available on the market. And if its 6.18mm older brother is anything to go by, the P7 will likely have lost some millimetres on its waistline. The Ascend P7 is expected to debut at MWC 2014 next week, along side a rumoured smartwatch, the first from the Chinese manufacturer. While there aren’t many details about the wearable device, we only have a few more days before MWC 2014 begins and from the look of it, it’s going to be one filled with surprises.
What do you think about the Huawei Ascend P7: is this a device you would get? And what do you think about Huawei outing a smartwatch? Let us know what you think in the comments.
