Huawei Ascend Mate7 review: Stargazer

17 October 2014
The Huawei Ascend Mate7 is the company's first phablet ready for primetime, with two credible midrangers in the Mate series giving Huawei the confidence to stand up to rival flagships. Never mind the digit in the title, the Mate7 is actually a 6" device...

Mobilemaster, 18 Oct 2014Only 67 hours of battery life??? What a shame!!!Your needs per day will not reach up to 67h. Do u know how many days 67h are?? Approximately 3 days!! It's 3 days!! 3 Twenty four hours!! I dont think you would want to use ur phone for over a year or something. 67h aren't a disappointment when u compare this phone to other brands that last for 6 - 7 hrs. Chill!

    Let me help you all out:
    1. Lolipop update: Its out since a few months. just google it and download the lolipop zip file, and put it in internal or SD card, and run it.
    2. Battery problems?? No!! The phone runs 3-4 days without any problem. The battery is a monster. If ur phone battery is not good, just see which application is draining the battery and delete it!!
    3. Camera is amazing!
    4. Smart Cover: Just got mine, and even though its not very functional, like on the Samsung or LG, but adds a nice luxurious feel to it.
    5. Fingerprint: Its the best, and most functional compared to Samsung or iPhone.

    BTW i bought this phone, without any expectations, but it is one of the best used till date! There are so many hidden things that u will discover, only once you use it, and enjoy!

                Anonymous, 02 May 2015Why do u guys get mad about the baterry when u can charge i... more67 hours is pretty poor with a 4000+ battery.

                With heavy use this phone would struggle to get through a day and there is no removable battery.... no issue if your at a desk with a charger but a real pain if your on the go.

                    Great phone great battery life. I didn't need to customize it as i loved the style straight out of the box including the case.
                    I use it at lunch and after work and I'm getting 3 days out of battery. For the size the phone i thought that this was great. My HTC needed to be charged every night.
                    Very responsive no lag. Not waterproof is the only problem.

                              As always, the chinese lithium batteries has false mA values, inflated, ridiculous, and now this cheater attitude, that I've seen in the past, some years ago, on all cheap phones and not only in the phones, continues today also on tops-range and with the best manufacturers.

                              China!

                                    expected more out of a 4100mah battery. and it's not even qhd so there should be little excuse for its not-so-impressive battery life. frankly disappointing.

                                        Very good smartphone in general. But the battery never lasted more than 16 hours.
                                        I've tested it with cpu-z it says the battery capacity is 3000 mAh only.??!!
