Huawei Ascend P1 review: Up and comer

25 June 2012
The Huawei Ascend P1 is one of the headliners in the company's growing Android portfolio. But the Chinese don’t just grow droids, they refine them. The Ascend P1 isn't even the best they have, but it sends a clear message that Huawei means...

Ordal, 27 Jun 2012Does anyone know what happened to the Huawei P1-S? I think they'll release the P1-S and D Duad at the same time, probably July-Aug

      i thought it's not bad if it gets cheap on market, but it's not worth it whatever the price - and it's overpriced as we can expect. test already show battery life which is less than averige, and averige in android terms means disastrously bad battery. so... no.

                  OPPO Finder smartphone, another chinese manufactured phone like HUAWEI but in think it has more good specs than any smartphones today, 4.3" screen, 1080p, 1.3mp front camera. 6.6mm thickness, the world's thinnest phone so far.

                    GSMArena, can you please do a product review of another Chinese manufactured smartphone OPPO Finder? http://www.oppothai.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=8&Itemid=196

                      actually this is a good phone.

                      however non-replaceable battery for chinese phone can lead to disaster in future.
                      no, seriously, no kidding.

                      so I regret I have to skip this one.

                        It does luk lyk an S2, but beats it in all parts except the GPU(still is powerful enough).
                        if the price lowers down, this will defintly be a real Value for money sale.. realy luv Huawei with wat dey hav done here!

                          better than the s3 in performance. even its 8mp camera blows the 808 pureview's camera carl zeiss 41 mp crap to oblivion!!!

                          this is the ultimate iphone 5 killer. :D
