Huawei has introduced the Ascend P2, the world’s fastest smartphone, at the 2013 Mobile World Congress (MWC).
The Ascend P2 features a 1,5GHz quad-core processor and LTE Cat 4 providing an ultrafast Web experience with download speeds of up to 150Mbps. Continuing the fashion legacy of the Ascend P-series, it is only 8,4mm slim with an infinity edge 4.7-inch IPS HD in-cell touch display with second-generation Corning Gorilla Glass, and will be available in black and white.
“Ascend P2 is the perfect combination of elegance and power, and further proof that there’s no need to compromise when desiring a perfect smartphone. It is evidence of the outstanding smartphone experiences and great technology that we are committed to bringing to consumers globally,” says Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Huawei Consumer Business Group.
The Huawei Ascend P2 runs on the Android 4.1 operating system, with Huawei’s own Emotion UI 1.5. Powered by a 2420 mAh battery and 1,5GHz quad-core processor, the Ascend P2 downloads HD movies in minutes, and loads online videos, Web pages, songs or e-books in seconds.
Huawei’s proprietary ‘swift sharing’ supports uploads and downloads two to three times faster than other smartphones in a WiFi environment.
With its NFC module, Ascend P2 enables e-payments and can act as an electronic ticket. Huawei’s unique Quick Power Control (QPC) and Automated Discontinuous Reception (ADRX) power-saving technologies, reduces power consumption by 30% and charging time by more than 25% compared to other smartphones.
