Sometimes bigger is better, which is the case with our newest Android smartphone: the Huawei Ascend Mate 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m particularly excited about the Mate 2 because it is our first \u201cphablet\u201d\u2014part phone and part tablet\u2014which means it provides the brilliant visual experience of a tablet packaged into the convenient, one-handed size of a smartphone. It\u2019s easily the largest smartphone we offer, and comes packed with power and speed\u2014the latter thanks to 4G LTE technology, which makes downloading videos, documents, and songs much faster than ever before.\"Mate<\/a><\/p>\n

With a giant 6.1-inch, scratch-resistant HD touchscreen, the Mate 2 provides a big, resilient display with crisp resolution. You won\u2019t find yourself squinting to read text and email messages, on this screen, which makes watching videos and browsing the web an easy, enjoyable experience. For such a big phone, it\u2019s rather slim and surprisingly light to hold in one hand.<\/p>\n

Featuring two superb cameras\u20145 megapixels on the front and 13 megapixels on the back\u2014and 1080p HD video capability, the Mate 2 makes it easy to capture all of life\u2019s precious moments, indoors or outside. And you\u2019ll have plenty of space for all those memories with 16 GB of internal storage.<\/p>\n

New smartphone users will find the included Easy Mode<\/a> option helpful. Easy Mode is a cleaner, simpler viewing format with large, easy-to-read icons which help new users scroll through and explore the phone\u2019s impressive features and apps. Switching back to the standard Android operating system, whenever you\u2019re ready, is quick and easy.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of horsepower under the hood of this device. You\u2019ll appreciate how speedy and responsive the phone is when accessing your apps and browsing the web<\/a>. Back that up with an ultra-long-lasting battery, which will give you up to two days to talk, text, read, watch, and listen.
