this coverage of MWC is brought to you by bitdefender mobile security huawei is new somewhat budget-minded smartphone is really geared towards you selfie lovers out there age Strasburg's are from Andhra Authority what's going on everybody and this is the huawei ascend g600 we have here is a rather premium looking device that continues with the design language that while we launched last year with the snp6 you do get the same clean lines without any needless flourishes the same rounded bottom and the same placement for the buttons and ports the backplate of the devices of a smooth plastic that doesn't pick up a lot of fingerprints actually and to the phone metal accents around the camera and on the sides complement the main material pretty nicely the device is only seven point nine millimeters thick very light and it makes it easy to handle at all times these are also in part two the rounded plastic edges when it comes to the display the ascend g600 LCD display of a four point five inch size with a resolution of 960 by 540 that means you do get a resolution of 245 PPI which is a bit of a ways of the density from the flagships available but it's also not that bad either given the price point of this phone plenty of users will be perfectly happy with the screen especially with this easy handling and it does provide decent levels of brightness and nice lively colors at the heart of the ascend g6 is a huawei made quad core system on a chip that's clocked in at 1.2 gigahertz we couldn't really test it for too long of a time during our testing but at least on this pre-production units we felt that the device was still quite responsive there's one gigabyte of RAM and eight gigabytes of storage which is pretty much the standard these days for a mid-range device another standard feature that makes this appearance is the micro SD card slot which is incredibly welcome Huawei on the selfie bandwagon really wanted to create a nice camera that allowed you to take great self-portraits so the front camera is a wide-angle 5 megapixel shooter which is a feature you don't see often on affordable devices much less than plenty of other ones even the more big flagships the main shooter on the back is an 8 megapixel shooter one feature that we did get a look at was the ID was the fact that when you tap on the viewfinder in order to take a picture using the front camera for a selfie it will count down from 3 in order for you to really get ready for your shot so you don't have to fit all with the camera shutter button in order to get the pose that you really want and powering everything is a rather small 2,000 milliamp hour battery but we're not gonna write it often so we actually know how thirsty the g6 is in real time usage now the emotion UI on the g6 is based on Android 4.3 with some extensive modifications that while we made to simplify them user experience while we remove to the app drawer altogether so all of the apps live on the app on the home screen now coming from a different UI you might find us a little bothersome as without some organization it could get really cluttered really fast one thing we really did like however as you can see in the video here is an even simpler mode that was built into the emotion UI that transforms the entire interface into a set of brightly colored tiles it does somewhat remind us of the Windows Phone interface but in the end it is Huawei's take on it and it's very colourful very vibrant takes advantage of the screen quite well and in all honesty I actually quite liked the simpler mode a little bit better at a very affordable price point this phone should be pretty accessible for all of the general users out there and for those of you who do like taking selfies this might be one of the best tools to have in your pockets once again this is Josh Pagar from Android authority with Huawei and we are reporting to you from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain
