Huawei's smartphone market share continues to grow. Its new Ascend Mate 7 with a 6-inch display has the power to challenge other flagship devices.
The Ascend Mate 2 made me a believer in Huawei's devices. The Mate 7 impresses me even more because it's a phone that's all display. It has an 83 percent screen-to-body ratio, which beats the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, iPhone 5S, and more. It is just a bit larger than the 5.7 inch Galaxy Note 4, but also thinner at just 7.9mm.
In addition to the large 2,560 x 1,600 pixel resolution display and minimal bezel, Huawei is including a fingerprint scanner on the back. Unlike the failed HTC One Max scanner, this one just requires a touch to activate rather than a swipe. You will also find a 13 megapixel camera on the back.
Other interesting features include active noise-canceling headphones powered by the phone (the Sony Xperia Z3 has this too), an 8 megapixel front-facing camera (there's an interesting panorama front-facing feature on the Mate 2 as well), Octa core chipset that has two quad-cores which spin up when needed, tunable antenna, and a massive 4,000 mAh battery that can also be used to charge up other devices.
Pricing and availability were not revealed today, but I definitely look forward to taking this massive phone for a spin. There is a ton of high-end technology in it and with the large display, it may be a threat to small tablets.
