Huawei shoots for gold with 6.1" Ascend Mate - "the largest screen smartphone" gets the largest 4050 mAh battery

Seeing as 1080p is the standard this year even on screens Huawei are at a loss at the start with a screen this big and 720p. Judgement should definietly be reserved till the device is properly unveiled and reviewed but its an unfortuate negative start,you can be fully sure the Gnote 3 will be 1080p for instance.

I really don't see the use of the bigger screen if the details are not crisper. As far as the brand itself I will have to see how it does against samsung. i love my Galaxy note 2, this would have o be very more, much ,more interesting to have me regret buying it just a month ago.

I love the huge area of wasted space on the bottom of the device where the buttons SHOULD be, but they decide to go with soft buttons (which can and do freeze up, and change position)...

Id be more friendly to soft buttons if they actually extended the screen down into the area where the buttons SHOULD go instead of wasting precious screen space on the damn things...

Soft buttons: dumbest idea ever (thanks to poor execution)

Is the 6.1 inch screen is accounted for with the touch bottons on the screen since there is no physical botons like the galaxy note II pure 5.5 inch?
If yes then we are only using about 5.7 - 5.8 inch only.
I will stick with my note II for now. Sorry but I love my S-Pen and don't think I just need a larger phone with less features.

This is getting ridiculous, OEMs are totally missing the point. On the plus side, I know what smartphone I'll be buying to my grandmother.

Loving the battery size but i think the gnote 3 is more of my speed when it comes out. Looks like they arent playing games anymore. Let's hope they can support it as well.

I was seriously considering getting this, ugly bezel and all. The lack of expandable storage is a 100% deal-breaker for me though. Guess I'll have to pony up the $300-400 extra dollars for the GN2 after all.

Too big for me. I'm sure some will like it. Design is lacking in my opinion also.

JAW DROPPING AT THE BATTERY. But sadden buy the 720P hd resolution when everyone else gets a 1080P Includes the NOTE III later this year

Nothing can break gn2 it is the best phablet in the market and 6.1 is too big five inches is the best size for a phone.

For being that damned big they needed the 1080p display along with a really good camera front and back to sell this thing. not to mention having their inhouse processor wont help engage sells.

Not so fast! The LARGEST capacity battery for a phone is... the INNOS D9 / Cloudfone Thrill 430X with 4160mAh.

Their Ascend D2 is definitely way better.
