Huawei Ascend P6 Phone Review

Thin, lightweight and above all metalSharp, screenMediocre brilliant performance for a quad-core phoneQuirkier than a Wes Anderson filmSome choicesSlim strange design. The Huawei Ascend P6 is the slimmest phone in the world at the time of writing.  Is only 6.2 mm thick and which is undoubtedly the most striking feature of the phone.

The P6 Huawei Asend has many other admirable features too, including a good screen and reasonably powerful quad-core processor. However, the software takes a little getting used to and we think Huawei cares about how thin the P6 Ascend is more than its potential buyers.

First reaction of most people to the Huawei Ascend P6 is likely to be – ' Hey, looks like an iPhone 5. '

Apple may have accused Samsung Galaxy S3 by hacking the iPhone design (resulting in an epic legal battle), but where that was a case of mistaken identity, this is borderline identity theft. Many of the reasons for Huawei Ascend P6 ' design are identical to those of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S.

It's all about the use of an aluminum strip naked around the phone side, coupled with sharp edges and white plates, front and rear panels. In his hand the two phones are quite similar.

Palm cannot fall in love with those sharp edges, but the P6 Ascend feels like a thick phone, well done. It is also significantly more the iPhone 5, about 1.5 mm thinner than thin.

As the P6 Ascend could be accused of being a rip-off of the iPhone, this is no copy of identikit – there are many design very deliberate differences too. First, the lower edge of the phone is rounded to make your pinky resting on this part more comfortable. It is also one of the few non-metal parts of the phone and is home to the antenna (to avoid the common problems of metal phone signal).

The Huawei Ascend P6 also has a slot for microSD memory card to add the limited 8 GB of internal memory. The micro SIM card and microSD slots are hidden behind (you guessed it) style iPhone open trays using a paper clip or a small tool found on the body of P6 Ascend.

On one side of the phone is a little blip metal round. It will be at first assumes is a flourishing little design – as the loop connector on an iPod touch – but is actually a removable SIM tray. This little thing is pretty well in his hole, but take it and is terribly, terribly easy to lose.

When a paper clip does the job just as well, use of Huawei this tool is an unnecessary risk. Or maybe we're just clumsy.

SIM tool not only lives in a dumb hole in the body of the phone – is the headphone jack. This is a very strange place to put a jack and is a pain to who holds their phone in their left hand, as any cavo cuffia will get in the way. Thanks to the rounded bottom edge, microUSB slot gets to sit on the top edge flat – once again not the most practical choice. Often priority over convenience style here.

A sense of needless extravagance and a little clunky is common in P6 Ascend. It's subtle, but there is little benefit to its thinness, and causes some problems. After using the phone for 10 minutes or so, the back becomes hot enough, even without doing anything too strenuous.

The construction of the phone has a hand in this. Aside from the plastic bottom, sides and back panel are made of aluminium, whose conductive properties make the phone heat within most obvious bits for your fingers.

The Huawei Ascend P6 is a beautiful, well done. But his obsession to have a thin body is a bit unnerving at times destructive.

While the P6 Ascend can be super-slim, fortunately, is not obsessed with the size of the screen. Has a 4.7 inch 720 p – big enough to feel luxurious to both eyes and fingers typing, but not big enough to become embarrassing.

The screen quality is great. Use an IPS Panel, which provides natural-looking colors, strong brightness and good viewing angle.

Resolution is much lower than Similarly sized 1080 p display HTC One, at 1,280 x 720 pixels, but most people will be difficult to notice the difference. The sharpness is excellent, making even small text look smooth. Pixel density is – appropriately enough – almost died on what the iPhone 5 provides, to 321ppi against 326ppi iPhone.

Unlike an iPhone though, also the Huawei Ascend P6 gives you control of the look of the display – thanks to a selector of color temperature within settings. This helps give the display of an orange (warm) or bluish tint (cold), or keep looking. Is a top of the screen.
