'Stunning' all-metal Huawei flagship leaks out, said to harbor 'unique features'
11

While the Ascend P7 is expected to land with a 5" 1080p display, and a 1.6 GHz HiSilicon SoC, the elusive flagship will one-up it in the processor department, with the octa-core Kirin 920 processor. This system-on-a-chip is very powerful, and sits somewhere between Snapdragon 801 and 805, so the premium handset will be packing quite a punch when it lands. The chipset has an integrated ARM Mali-T628 GPU, dual-channel DDR3 800MHz RAM memory, LTE modem, as well as support for up to 2560x1600 (WQXGA) resolution displays and 32 MP camera sensors.
The kicker is in the phone's design, though, as the software engineer, who leaked the photo on the right, says it will be made entirely of metal. It will be expensive, the source added, so you "should start saving now." That square region on the back will allegedly be a fingerprint sensor (what else), while Huawei’s Senior Vice President recently confirmed that the company is indeed prepping a new "stunning" handset with “unique features.” When we couple that memo with the chief Marketing Officer's comments two weeks ago that Huawei is prepping phones with metal and ceramic chassis, the puzzle starts to fall into place.
When we put all these rumors together, what you might be seeing above is a 5" Quad HD (1440x2560 pixels) flagship with a 2 GHz octa-core Kirin 920 processor, fingerprint sensor on the back, and a premium metal chassis, scheduled for release around September at a $600+ price. We can't wait to see more pics of this pretty boy, as well as more info on the weight and overall dimensions. How about you?
