The flagship Ascend D quad--and its larger relative, the Ascend D quad XL--is powered by Huawei's own K3V2 quad-core chip, which comes in either 1.2GHz or 1.5GHz versions.
Designed entirely by Huawei, the K3V2 chip runs on four ARM Cortex A9 cores. The K3V2 also has a graphics processor that's claimed to deliver "32-bit true color", which will render higher quality and more realistic visuals. Using proprietary algorithms, the chip is claimed to save up to 30 percent more power by maintaining a low core temperature.
Even though Huawei does not plan to sell its K3V2 chip to other handset makers, we'll probably be seeing it in future high-end phones. In fact, it has already been included in the MediaPad 10 FHD.
All this powerful hardware comes in a sleek but plain-looking package. Could the Ascend D quad be a diamond in the rough?
There's no doubt about it: The 4.5-inch HD (1,280 x 720 pixels) IPS display is vivid and sharp. Huawei trumpets its 330ppi pixel density, which is a notch higher than the Retina Display's 326ppi. As I'd previously written, a higher pixel density results in smooth text and graphics and an overall better viewing experience.
No pricing information is available yet, but the Ascend D quad will roll out In China, Australia, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East as well as North and South America by the middle of the year.
