Huawei has announced the successor to its popular first-gen Ascend Mate ultra-large smartphone, the Ascend Mate 2 4G.

On the surface, it may look the same with its 6.1″ 720p HD display, but on the inside, the hardware does have a boost.
The display also features Gorilla Glass coating. The design still remains quite commonplace though, with the phone being 9.5mm thick and 202g in weight.
What isn’t bland is the spec sheet. The processor is now available in two versions: either a SnapDragon 400 one clocked at 1.6Ghz or Huawei’s own HiSilicon Cortex-A9, with a Adreno 306. Amount of RAM is set at 2 GB, with 16 GB worth internal storage, along with a microSD card slot.
At the back is a 13 megapixel with f/2.0 aperture and 1080p Full HD video, coupled with a 5 mp camera at the front. For connectivity, you have microUSB 2.0, USB-OTG, Wi-Fi, 4G LTE and Bluetooth 4.0.
The phone is powered by a 4050 mAh battery. What’s more, is that it can also charge other phones. Here are the full specs:

• Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with Emotion UI
