Huawei Ascend D2 has a 1080p screen, homemade quad-core processor

0. phoneArena posted on 26 Nov 2012, 05:11

About a month ago, the Huawei Ascend D2 was revealed officially in China, becoming the maker's first attempt to make a splash into the 5-inch category of Android high-ends. A number of details regarding its specs, however, were not disclosed during the announcement, such as the screen's resolution and the processor's make and model...

Haha, I do hope you're joking here...

Nope its not a joke! ZTE has become the fourth largest smartphone manufacturer edging out HTC so whether you like it or not this could very well be the DNA killer and kill a lot of other phones from LG and Sony too.
ZTE has raised its game in terms of production quality and their handsets feature top-of-the-line specs

That's kind of ironic because I have the Huawei Ascend 2, not D2 :(

i'll buy anything made in china since we got no choice but not made and from china!

Good efforts from Huawei, but the biggest doubt is the chip. Not only it's about quality but also about quantity. The almost certain low volume can drive the cost up a lot.

It performs at par or above the HTC One X's Tegra 3.

Happy?

Tegra 3 is last year so this would be a huge failure.

It must be at least equal to S4 Pro in performance and beat it in saving power.

Will need to see the full specs but it looks like this device will gain traction for those who don't want to spend alot on a well known brand.

That would be true if Huawei were selling cheaper than well known brands.
They promised a reduction in price of about 20% for high end handys. Now reality check:
Samsung galaxy S2: 330 Euros
Huawei Ascend P1: 350 Euros
Same with all their products. I wonder were you see the savings.

Huawei bumps up the price of their high end phones.

11. TROLL posted on 26 Nov 2012, 07:14 0 1

Isn't there a company that would be different than others, and clock the Cpu and GPU raised 30% higher than all vaiable phones out there...?

14. Joshing4fun posted on 26 Nov 2012, 08:22 0 0

If they can make this affordable, then this could sell well even in America. Make it $399 and it'll sell well. Eh, who am I kidding... It'd never happen.

One of my favorite parts about CES is when all of the phones are featured and this one is going to be there too. I don’t have any need for a quad core, but I’m sure this Huawei will last a long time and there will be more apps and games that utilize the benefits of so much power. Right now I use my Note II for work and watching a lot of TV. The larger screen of both of these phones, along with my DISH Sling Adapter that my DISH coworker gave me, allow me to watch TV anytime I want. I just downloaded the DISH Remote Access app on my Note and iPad and now I watch more TV than I ever did when I would try to find time at home.
