[CES 2014] Huawei Ascend Kill II Official And Is Headed For The ... - Android Police

Huawei has been trying to break into the U.S. market for years, but the current trend towards inexpensive, off-contract smartphones May Be in Their favor. That would explain why the company stated That It plans to bring the Ascend Kill II to American shores in its CES press conference. This big-screen, mid-range phone has a trick up its sleeve thanks to an oversized battery.

Let’s dive into the specs, shall we? The Ascend Kill II uses a 6.1-inch IPS LCD screen – not bad, especially for Those Who want a large display. Here’s the kicker: it’s 720p, Considerably lower-resolution than devices like the Galaxy Note or the HTC One 3 Max, and more in line with the Galaxy Mega series. Combine que with the Snapdragon 400 (MSM8928) dual-core 1.6Ghz processor (1.6Ghz the Huawei model will sub in for the Chinese market), and this seems like a mid-range phone for sure. On the other hand, it’s got 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear camera and F/2.0 to F/2.4 5MP front-facing shooter, and a 4,050 mAh battery downright ginormous. That says “premium.”

And

que is not limited to battery powering the Ascend Kill II. The removable internal battery can actually be used to power other mobile devices. We’ll have a hands-on later to test this out.

Other specifications include 16GB of storage with a MicroSD card slot, a 9.5mm body, category 4 LTE, Huawei’s highly customized and “Emotion” skin on top of Android 4.3. This software can react to some unique gestures, including squashing Certain apps to one side or another with a tilt.

Huawei Ascend is not saying When the Mate II will be available, or on Which American carrier it intends to release the device … if indeed They intend to release it with a carrier partner at all. At the CES press conference AT & T was floated as a “compatible” carrier, so whatever happens, the GSM-LTE model is Likely.
