Huawei Ascend P6 slimmest smartphone officially launched

Chinese electronics manufacturer, Huawei billed its new Ascend P6 model as the "world's slimmest smartphone," which was the most debated smartphone till date. The Huawei Ascend P6 is 6.18 mm in depth, which is thinner than competitors like the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 (7.6 mm and 7.9 mm, respectively). This new model is now the flagship smartphone in Huawei's Ascend P series. Earlier this year, Huawei launched its Ascend P2 phone, which at the time the company called the "world's fastest smartphone."


Coming back to the specifications and features of this device, the P6 sports a 4.7-inch 720p display, and plays host to a quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz. There's an 8-megapixel camera glued to its rump, while unusually, the front-facing snapper is a 5-megapixel affair, making the P6 ideal for Skype calls or carefully-posed sexy selfies.

Inside you'll find a 1.5GHz quad-core chip powering the P6, backed up by a hearty 2GB of RAM. There's 8GB of on-board storage, which you can beef up using a microSD card if you need more capacity.

The battery is a 2,000mAh unit, which is smaller than the P2's 2,420mAh battery. Fingers crossed that doesn't see the P6 running out of juice halfway through the day.
