Hands-on with Huawei's frighteningly skinny Ascend P6

2013-06-18
hello I'm the Westray for cnet and this is the huawei ascend p6 the first thing to note about this phone is that it's super slim it measures just six point 18 millimeters thick making it very slender indeed it's quite light to weighing roughly 120 grams so you're hardly notice it once you slide this into your jeans pocket the sides are made out of aluminium as is the back which has this brushed metal effect and while the p6 looks a lot like the iphone it does manage to distinguish itself slightly with this curved casing beneath the screen build quality meanwhile seems high this phone feels quite sturdy the screen measures 4.7 inches and has a 720p resolution which is why all the on-screen action looks nice and sharp around the back meanwhile there's an 8 megapixel camera while unusually the front facing camera is a 5 megapixel affair that means skype calls all your carefully pose selfshots should look nice and crisp inside there's a 1.5 gigahertz quad-core processor powering everything you also get 2 gigabytes of RAM an 8 gigabytes of on-board storage which you can beef up using a microSD card the p6 is running Android jelly bean version 4.2 point2 but over the top you get wale's emotion user interface the most noticeable difference from normal android is that there's no app list so all of your apps live on the home screen that means fewer button presses to get to your apps but things could easily become a bit disorganized unlike the ascend p2 the p6 doesn't have 4g that means you'll be relegated to 3g speeds when it comes to downloads and web browsing it's coming out in July let me know what you think I'm legrest away and this is the huawei ascend p6
