Mandatory phablets - Huawei Ascend Mate 7 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro specs comparison
IFA 2014 became host to a nuclear explosion of powerful Android phones! The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are scorching hot, premium Android powerhouses with huge displays and powerful internals.
Meanwhile, the Lenovo Z2 Pro was announced before it got to IFA, but it's still fresh in our minds because of its impressive build and hardware profile. These three titans had to be pitted against each other for your viewing pleasure and informational hunger. It's a bit amusing how the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 and Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro's dimensions make the huge Galaxy Note 4 seem compact in comparison simply because of the difference in their display diagonals. The Huawei and Lenovo phablets sport spacious 6-inch displays, while the Note 4 makes do with a 5.6-inch display. If you want a shot at one handed operation, you better not dare touch these Chinese monstrosities! Which one is your favorite, though?
