07 July, 2015
Quite a bit has changed with the outside of the handset, including an odd sensor above the earpiece

        It is a proximity sensor.

          So where is the speaker grill? I don't see it on the back or front. Is it going to be one of those deals where's in the bottom or top of the frame?

                    You all are thinking too hard. It's as simple as it seems. A proximity sensor, so when you hold the phone to your ear you don't face dial.

                            Nice..i wish Huawei will start putting front speakers. The first Ascend Mate 7 had a respectable 77.6% screen to body ratio and a big battery...hope this new model will surpass both. I keep looking at the recent Huawei releases to get a feel of what one of the rumored Nexus devices will look like. I hope they deliver a BIG ONE on battery capacity.
