The device is being billed as the “world’s fastest quad-core smartphone” with the company’s own K3V2 CPU, clocked at 1.2GHz/ 1.5GHz, powering the unit. Sharing a slim, albeit slightly chunkier 8.9mm profile than its P1 predecessors, this Android 4.0 beast sports a 4.5-inch 720p display, Dolby 5.1 surround sound and an 1,800mAh battery bolstered by a proprietary energy management software that the manufacturer claims will last for up to two days. The actual hardware design itself takes a cue from Nokia’s Lumia 800, with a screen that blends into the device’s edges, creating an “infinity feel.”
Along with this flagship powerhouse, two other D family members – the Ascend D quad XL and Ascend D1 – will be joining Huawei’s lineup. Spec-wise, the XL is essentially an unchanged version of the original quad, except imbued with a larger 2,500mAh battery, while the D1 swaps out the four core internals for a more 2011-ish 1.5GHz dual-core setup and smaller 1,670mAh battery.
