Huawei Ascend Mate 7-passed
Huawei's upcoming phablet, the Huawei Ascend Mate 7, has passedthrough TENAA and left a cache of specifications. The Mate 7 is
the successor to the Mate2 and has a 6" screen so where did the 7
come from. The screen may be 6" big - 0.1" smaller than the previous
models but with 1080p resolution instead of 720p. The device
measures 157 x 81 x 7.9mm, so it's shorter, narrower and thinner
than its predecessor. It's lighter too, tipping the scales at 185g.
That's impressive considering that Huawei has replaced the plastic
back of the Mate2 with an aluminum plate, which makes the
Ascend Mate 7 look like the HTC One Max. The fingerprint
sensor beneath the camera makes the similarity even greater.
Huawei Ascend Mate 7 Anyway, the Mate 7 will leave the
mid-range chipsets of its predecessors in favor of the HiSilicon
Kirin 920.
It has an octa-core big.LITTLE processor with four Cortex-A7
and four Cortex-A15 cores plus 2GB of RAM 3GB option.
The phablet runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat will likely feature the
latest Emotion UI. The main camera is a 13MP shooter with a
single-LED flash and there's a 5MP selfie camera. The main
camera records 1080p video. There's 16GB of built-in storage
and a microSD card slot to add up to 128GB more. The Huawei
Ascend Mate 7 will be available in Black, White and Gold. TENAA
certified two versions though both seem aimed at Chinese carriers.
