Product description
Announced Jun 18, 2013

Huawei's Ascend P6, the company's latest flagship smartphone is equipped with an 8-megapixel BSI (back-side illuminated) camera and f2.0 lens. Into selfies? The Ascend P6 also features a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with automatic facial enhancement.

The P6 also features auto scene recognition, image tracking, macro shooting as close as 4cm, 1080p HD video and a 4.7-inch HD display, all in an ultra-slim (6.18mm) build. It's powered by a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, uses "Magic Touch" technology with the promise of improved responsiveness ("even when wearing gloves") and uses a 2000mAh battery (which is slightly less powerful than the P2's).

The Ascend P6 runs Android 4.2.2 and is available in black, white or pink.
