The Ascend P7 is one of the latest flagship phones from Chinese telecom company Huawei. It is a large, HD, android smartphone, which directly pits itself against phones like Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S5 and the HTC One M8. The phone\u2019s performance and specifications are comparable to these rivals. Its main selling point, however, is the price. An unlocked Ascend P7 costs only $420 dollars on amazon, which is a full $130 cheaper than a Galaxy S5 and over $200 cheaper than a HTC One M8.<\/p>\n

The phone\u2019s design is simple and sleek<\/b>. It is a plain rectangular shape, with dimensions of 139.8 x 68.8 x 6.5 mm. The phone is very thin, with a glass back.<\/p>\nPros and Cons<\/h2>\n
The reviews of the Ascend P7 have been mixed. The general consensus, however, has simply been \u201cYou Get What You Pay For\u201d. The phone\u2019s price definitely makes it attractive, but it also involves sacrificing a certain amount of performance. The phone\u2019s processor is slower than most of its competitors at only 1.8 GHz. This means that android feels less zippy than it can. The battery is generally agreed to be reasonable, but despite the promotion of the company, it is nothing particularly special. The phone is slightly smaller than both the Galaxy S5 and the One M8, but this is not necessarily a downside. The Ascend P7 finds a certain mid-point between these very large smartphones and the smaller iPhone models.<\/p>\n
