Huawei's Ascend Mate 2 4G phablet to reach US shores

In addition, the 3900mAh battery is supposed to give users 60 hours of standard usage, which is a rather stretchy metric by itself. But Huawei must be rather confident in the phone's economical power usage, as it offers Reverse Charging - a function to charge another device from it through a micro-USB to micro-USB cable.

The 6.1-inch Ascend Mate 2 was announced at this year's CES in Las Vegas. You can check out our hands-on with the phablet here. Its price in China is a reasonable $445, and we assume that the Mate 2 will sell unlocked in the US, unless Huawei has found a carrier willing to subsidize it. 

This doesn't seem very likely, as the company is entangled in a two-sided spying argument with the government, which has shrouded its stateside position in controversy. US companies are currently forbidden from using Huawei-made communications equipment, but at least the company isn't banned from selling smartphones.
