Huawei has just announced the new Ascend GX1 phone. A new device that arrives inside of what could be called mid-range with certain characteristics that stand out from other terminals.
As for the phone itself, we are facing one of those devices called "phablets" with a larger screen and that stands out for having very thin bezels. Even the Chinese company boasts 80,5% of the front is occupied by the screen of six inches with which the new Huawei Ascend GX1 has.
A phablet for € 200
Huawei's trend with very thin bezels in the new Ascend GX1, already comes from the Ascend Mate 7, with the intention set to provide the user with a useful space for the screen. With dimensions of 6 inches and 720p resolution, and that 80.5% screen ratio, this new Huawei phone can be purchased for almost € 200.
Other hardware specifications include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core 64-bit 1.2 GHz chip, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage, microSD card slot, 8 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera. Dual-SIM functionality and LTE connectivity are also included with a 3500 mAh battery.
Dimensions and weight go through 161 x 84.5 x 9.2 mm and 173 grams. With the GX1 we have a very large terminal although it offers some very remarkable features for its price.
