Huawei made us wait for a long time for the launch of the flagship Ascend P7, but at first glance I can say: it was worth waiting! The smartphone looks really great, has a good specification and additionally a few interesting additions.
If this goes on, Huawei can seriously mix among mobile giants, knocking off the pedestal popular flagships. Ascend P7 without much effort squeezed into the group of the best smartphones of the year. It has a slim, 6.5-mm thick casing, and it's fairly lightweight: 124 g. Weight of the phone is a little surprising, because the housing has a metal core and was finished with panels of Gorilla Glass 3. They both cover the front and back of the device.

The 5-inch in-cell IPS also makes a good impression. It has a FullHD resolution, which gives good density ratio - 445 ppi. The smartphone supports LTE, of course, also has a Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC modules. A built-in memory capacity looks slightly worse: 16 GB in a flagship? Fortunately there is added a microSD card slot...

Ascend P7 has a 13-megapixel camera with a BSI matrix from Sony and a 5-element lens with f/2.0 brightness. There is an impressive front camera: it has 8 megapixels and also the BSI matrix with 5-element lens. Software IMAGESmart 2.0 provides unique possibilities to go for self-portraits: there are powerful functions associated with retouching, as well as the "Panorama Selfie" - for group shots. Unfortunately, there is no filming in 4K - the cameras record in Full HD.
