Huawei Ascend P7 breaks 1 million sales mark

Tags: Huawei , Android

The 6.5mm Huawei Ascend P7 is one of the best looking and thinnest smartphones on the market, a feature that has helped the company sell some 1 million units since the devices launch.






But the Chinese company wont stop there. It has declared its hopes to sell a total of 10 million units in 12 months - an ambitious goal for a relatively minor player in western markets.


However, Huawei was able to sell 4 million units of the P7s precursor, the Ascend P6 during its lifecycle, starting in June 2013. The company has also slowly risen to third global smartphone manufacturer, behind Apple and Samsung, by selling 52 million smartphones last year.


Besides the slim waistline, the P7 offers a 5-inch 1080p display, 13MP/8MP front/rear camera combo, and 2GB of RAM to go with its home-brewed quad-core 1.8GHz Kirin 910T chipset. We were really impressed by the build quality of the P7, but not so much by its performance in our full review.


The Ascend P7 has not yet seen a release in the US (and could forego one altogether), so stateside customers will have to look at unofficial online retailers like eBay or Amazon for a P7.

Octa core Huawei Kirin 920 chipset goes official

Tags: Huawei , Android , Misc

Huawei announced today its next generation chipset - the Kirin 920. It is based on ARMs big.LITTLE architecture and uses four Cortex-A15 and four Cortex-A7 cores capable of working simultaneously.



The Cortex-A15 cores can be clocked from 1.7GHz up to 2.0GHz, while the energy-efficient Cortex-A7 ones start at 1.3GHz and can be boosted up to 1.6GHz.


The Kirin 920 relies on the powerful Mali-T628MP4 quad-core graphics. Weve seen the same GPU, but with six cores (MP6), to perform in the octa-core models of the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5.


Another key features of the new chipset are the LTE Category 6 support, Tensilica HIFI3 professional audio processor, 4K video recording and QHD display support.


According to Huaweis presentation the Kirin 920 outperforms the entire current crop of flagship chipsets including Snapdragon 801, Exynos 5420 and MediaTek MT6592. The company even claims its SoC can outdo the upcoming Snapdragon 805, expected to power the



The first device expected to utilize the Kirin 920 is the leaked Huawei codenamed Mulan flagship with a 1080p display, 3GB of RAM and a 13MP snapper with 4K video recording.


Its benchmark scores appeared yesterday, suggesting that there is some truth to the Huawei words. The smartphone outperformed each and every other flagship in AnTuTu, although the margin is hardly so comfortable as to suggest the Snapdragon 805 is also within reach. Then again, the Mulan is still in its beta stages so the score might improve even further.

Higher is better

Hopefully things turn out better this time, unlike the highly uninspiring Kirin 910T running inside the Huawei Ascend P7.
