Huawei EDGE future flagship leaks out surprising us with gorgeous looks and aluminum body

Chinese manufacturers have long stood for their capacity to blast away affordable devices that might perform well but come with sub-par quality and uninspiring design. That has been the cliche, and Huawei seems to have had enough of it.

The Huawei EDGE that has just leaked out is a gorgeous extremely slim aluminum Android flagship device with a curved back.

The Huawei EDGE will only measure 6.3mm thick and this will make it one of the slimmest (if not the slimmest) devices on the market.

The Edge packs some noteworthy specs: a 4.9-inch 1080 x 1920-pixel display, a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and a 13-megapixel camera. The handset will be sold in a 16GB and 32GB versions and will run on the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

In that slim device, Huawei has somehow managed to cram in a capable 2600mAh battery as well.

The Huawei Edge is expected to become the company’s flagship when it launches in the second half of the year. Here timing will be key (and the device is not yet official of course), but it definitely seems that more and more companies are finally starting to realize the importance of good design, and that can only be good news.
