Huawei has revealed, Ascend P2, the world's fastest 4G LTE smartphone at the recently held Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona.
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 1.5 GHz 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 Wi-Fi environment. With its NFC module, Ascend P2 enables e-payments and can act as an electronic ticket.
Huawei's Quick Power Control (QPC) and Automated Discontinuous Reception (ADRX) power-saving technologies, reduces power consumption and charging time by more than 30% compared to other smartphones.
Using in-cell technology, its LCD 4.7-inch IPS HD touchscreen is 8.4mm slim. Its 'magic touch' feature provides enhanced screen responsiveness even with gloves, and instant keyword translation and Wikipedia searches can now be done on a single window with 'smart reading'.
The screen also calibrates its brightness automatically under any light conditions, allowing users to perform any function, under any light.
The HUAWEI Ascend P2 provides optimal photo and video features including a 13 MP BSI rear-facing camera with HDR, and a 1.3 MP front-facing camera to support self-portrait and video shooting. A dedicated camera key on the side of the phone also allows instant access to picture taking.
With Huawei's advanced camera algorithm, high-definition images can be captured even in backlit conditions.
"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," said Richard Yu, chief executive officer of Huawei Consumer Business Group.
The Ascend P2 will be available globally around the second quarter of 2013. It is expected to be available in Bangladesh from July 2013.
