We refer to the Samsung Galaxy S2 , the Galaxy Nexus or the iPhone 4S , for example, three terminals that are already in the Olympus of smart smartphones . And is not for less. The fact is that then we will describe all the benefits and features of this new S Huawei Ascend P1 .

Design and display

The  Huawei Ascend P1 S is a special mobile phone. We say it because its measurements are. The overview of the phone reveals measuring  127.4 x 64.3 x 6.7 millimeters . As you will see, it is one of the finest devices on the market, not to mention that it is the one that breaks all the records, lately surpassed by Fujitsu . In any case, you will see that it is a stylish, spacious and large terminal, with a final weight of just 130 grams . Its appearance is that of a completely squared phone, with pointed edges, which gives it a very elegant and distinguished final appearance . Its housing is finished in glossy black plastic, without any possibility in sight that we can see it in white or other more fun colors. But everything will be seen, for the moment it should not be ruled out, since white has now become a catalog color .

But there is more. The Huawei Ascend P1 S also has a Super AMOLED HD screen that will display images in very high resolution . This implies a very good experience in the reproduction of multimedia contents . The panel in question measures 4.3 inches , has a maximum resolution of 960 x 540 pixels and a depth of 16 million colors . As you can imagine, it is a multi-touch screen made with a special protection of the famous Corning Gorilla glass .

This guarantees correct access to web pages , agile email management or fluency when sharing content on our favorite social networks. So you won't have to wait centuries for your photos to be posted on your profile or to send an attachment to your coworkers. In addition to being able to contract an appropriate rate with your operator, you will also have the option of accessing Wi-Fi networks through the 802.11 b / g / n protocol , which will allow you to take advantage of the Internet connection you have at home, in the hotel or in the neighborhood library.

The device is also compatible with Bluetooth 3.0 technology and has GPS , with A-GPS support . This last feature will help you to use the device as if it were a true dedicated GPS navigator , both to configure your routes by car and on foot . Finally, in the section on external connections, you should know that you have a microSD card slot , useful for expanding the internal memory of the device up to a maximum of 32 GB .

Photographic and multimedia camera

The Huawei Ascend P1 S has a good camera . So much so, that in the data sheet of the device indicates that the phone has a camera with eight megapixels sensor that lets you take pictures of very good quality . To this provision must be added the availability of LED Flash , a feature that is not present in many tall smartphones . In this case, the flash will help you enormously when taking photos in places with low light or even at night.

You should bear in mind, on the other hand, that it is not a dedicated camera, so if you are very demanding in the results, you will have to continue carrying your professional or compact camera on your back. This is the reality. On the other hand, you should know that the phone is also capable of recording videos in high definition, FullHD at 1080p . Moreover, the Huawei Ascend P1 S has in turn a front 1.3 megapixel camera that lets you make video calls.

In the multimedia section, the Huawei Ascend P1 S is quite competent, since it is capable of playing music, video and photo files in the most common formats.

As an Android user , you will also have direct access toAndroid Market with thousands of applications (free and paid) at your disposal, but also all the services offered by Google .

Autonomy and availability

The battery consumption is triggered on devices like the present one, due mainly to large doses of energy that requires the screen. In this case, the Huawei Ascend P1 S works with a high definition Super AMOLED screen that will consume a lot, so you have to keep that in mind. To this we have to add the fact that the phone is especially thin, which prevents it from housing a larger battery , and therefore, with more capacity. As Huawei has indicated , the battery capacity is 1670 milliamps , although it has not commented on the autonomy it can offer. Keep in mind thatBalances are calculated according to standard measurement , which can be quite inaccurate. It will be based on personal and real use to obtain reliable information on the battery .

And what about availability , you may be wondering. Well, Huawei has not yet confirmed a specific date , although it has already advanced that the phone will start dancing from the second quarter of the year. It will be necessary to see, later, what is the exact launch date , prices and availability in our country. It is quite possible that the Huawei Ascend P1 S will also be made available to Spanish customers through some carriers. In this case, you could get it subsidized. We will notify you ahead of any news about future releases in our country .
