I'm Andrew Horrell 50 net and I'm here taking a look at the kwame extend p7 a five inch android kitkat smartphone with an extremely skinny body by looks alone there's not a whole lot to separate the Ascend p7 from last year's p6 it's physically a little larger but it's still incredibly skinny it's only six point five mils thick the metal back panel has been replaced with glass maintains four rounded bottom and it has the same metal iPhone 4 style band around the edge the glass panels help make it look pretty classy although it's very difficult to tell the print from the back when it's in your pocket which can be frustrating and it's lightweight makes it feel a bit cheap on the upside Huawei has moved the headphone jacks in this stupid spot on the side to a much more sensible place on the top the 5-inch display has a full HD resolution which makes icons and small text look crisp while it's fair brightness and decent colors makes Netflix shows perfectly watchable inside it's running Android 4.4.2 kitkat although you can't really tell ask Huawei has heavily skinned it with its emotion UI skin it's not one of my favorite Android skins largely because it's done away with the app tray we need to have to keep all apps and widgets scattered on the home screens which can be very awkward and cluttered it is customizable with themes though and there's a simplified version if you're not too familiar with Android it's running on a 1.8 gigahertz quad-core chip which is slower than the 2.3 gigahertz chips you'll find in Sony and Samsung stuff and phones and as such it didn't perform nearly as well on benchmark tests it had enough power for day-to-day tasks though and handled gaming adequately the only time I really noticed a slowdown was when I had to wait several seconds for it to render large photos on screen around the back as a 13 megapixel camera with an 8 megapixel camera on the front as a lot of pixels for a front camera so it was clear that this phone is geared towards selfie lovers the 2,500 milli ampere now a battery meanwhile should keep going for a day if you're careful about what you're doing with the phone although the Ascend p7 is certainly skinny and it's not too expensive its unimpressive power and sometimes awkward interface makes it an acceptable albey a bit of an uninspiring choice if you can find the p7 on a subsidized contract with a good deal it's worth a look but some of last year's flagships could be a better choice for the money I'm Andrew coil for C net and this is the huawei ascend p7
