40nm??? Well dats gonna suck alot of juice frm the battery :-/
This phone is hilarious.
At launch, it will be outclassed in performance by the monster on the block, the LG Nexus 4, and the cheaper Xiaomi M2. What kind of idiot will buy this phone? If one stays in China and can buy the Xiaomi M2, why would he buy this Huawei?
I’m a Chinese, but I can barely get a XIAOMI 2, coz they usually release a little, not much, for a hunger marketing.
I myself, as an ordinary user, living “not in China”, after happily finding this reliable, authentic and competent site, would start to expect something that could be concrete – after a while. I mean what’s the use of posting credible information about the latest mobile achievements, if I can not see any practical use of it? You know what I am talking about. I can do nothing, I repeat, nothing from here, Europe with a phone that will be out after 2 months, even more for pre-orders, not to mention only for those who can read in Chinese or Mandarin (?) because the site does not have an English version! And, finally, when I got this hopeful article, starting with “Hey everyone who’s not in China!”, my disappointment comes to surface, the price is $429.. The expectancy falls into thousand pieces. During the last 2 weeks I’ve been making a very detailed chart of those high-performance unique Android flagship phones I would count on (sometime), but this list is just growing with one more unreachable phone every time I read a new post.
It’s frustrating I know but until the Chinese companies making these phones sort themselves out there is nothing we can do about it.
Quite pricey for an unproven CPU. For a hundred bucks more you can get the S3 here. For a lot less you can get one of the new low cost phones with powerful CPUs but then again there’s a question of reliability (think Jiayu G3). You get what you pay for. With all these tempting phones that come out you just have to wait for awhile and see who comes out on top. Else you’ll get a case of buyer’s remorse.
It’s Huawei’s own CPU, I think a lot of R&D has gone in to it (it’s been about 6 months since they first announced it) so I imagine it should be a great chip and overall good phone
