Huawei Ascend P6: Android Smartphone in the test

The Huawei asend P6 looks nice and has the latest technology. In addition, the smartphone impresses with its low price! But there is a catch? The test reveals the PC world.

The Ascend P6 is focusing its 4.7-inch display only on HD (720 x 1280 pixels). Nevertheless, most of the content are sharp, which thanks to the IPS + technology is possible. We find no blurring when fonts or round objects. The luminosity is measured with 401.89 cd / m2 is also very high and the viewing angle of over 170 degrees very far.

With the Ascend P6 succeeded the Chinese a real design piece. The clean workmanship, the straight lines and the aluminum casing make the phone extremely high quality. It is given with 6.18 and we measured 6.5 millimeters slimmer than any other smartphone(THL W11 Monkey King) in the test. This has a positive influence on the feel, since the P6 is very stable and easy to operate.

Under the hood of the Huawei Ascend P6 operates the house K3V2 quad-core CPU, which is clocked at 1.5 GHz per core. It is supported by 2 GB RAM. Together with current software they provide acceptable services because the system we use mostly liquid and restart, close and switch apps quickly.

On the Inteet, the speed will slow down significantly. Until a website fully loaded, pass around 8 seconds via Wi-Fi and 10 seconds on HSPA (21.1 Mbit / s download) - clearly too long for a premium model. In addition, we navigate back and only very laboriously on image heavy pages because the page is unresponsive and quite long reloads the new view.

The test duration surfing the 2000 mAh battery keeps the Ascend P6 6:43 hours on life before it requires exteal power. With the battery life, the device is in the upper third of the test field. It also weighs in at 120 grams for the size quite small. Thin, it is also, so it fits perfectly into your pocket.

To justify the low price, Huawei needs to save some coers. So is Bluetooth version 3.0 only used NFC and HDMI compatibility completely missing.

The rear 8-megapixel camera provides you with daylight sharp and crisp images. The colors are crisp, but sometimes a bit artificial.

The front camera scores points with its high resolution of 5 megapixels, with which you can in fact produce sharp images in the self-portrait or carry high-definition video conferencing.

While you get with the Ascend P6 a top-class unit with an unbeatable price / performance ratio. However, there is a catch: you have to give up some features that distinguish the current top devices. These include NFC, LTE and HSPA +, HDMI via MHL adapter, Bluetooth 4.0 and a full HD display. For that you get a smart phone with a beautiful design that can be operated use pleasant.
