The Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Huawei, continues its innovation by introducing the Huawei Ascend D Quad XL. This is basically the improvement version of the original model. Therefore, you will find several specs upgrade included in this model. So now, let’s have a closer look at the below specs overview of this high-end smartphone for your personal consideration.
In terms of overall design, Huawei Ascend D Quad XL comes with the identical style of the original model. The phone measures 129 mm in height, 64 mm in width and 10.9 mm in depth. With this thickness, the phone is apparently thicker as compared to the original D Quad. Weighing about 150 grams, the device can be considered heavy since the HTC’s quad-core smartphone only has about 130 grams of body-weight. The display measures 4.5 inches with IPS+ LCD technology, 16 million of colors, 720x1280 pixels and 326 ppi of pixel density. Having this display spec, the phone has the potential to match the screen capability of iPhone 4s.
As being the performance booster, the company has added the Huawei K3V2 chipset combined with the quad-core 1.5 GHz processor along with the 1 GB of RAM. This processor has been considered to be match up with even the performance Apple A5X. For the main system, the device has been pre-loaded with the latest Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Technically, the phone may deliver the smooth overall operation thanks to its excellent processor along with the adequate RAM. For storing the files, the phone supports for the memory expansion with microSD card up to 32 GB in case you don’t satisfy with the internal storage of 8 GB.
For the digital photography needs, the phone sports the 8 megapixels camera with autofocus, geo-tagging and dual-LED flash. Users will be able to capture image with the maximum resolution of 3264x2448 pixels and record video with the 1080p quality (@30fps). For the video calling, there will be the 1.3 megapixels front-facing camera which can also record HD video (720p). Same with the original model, the phone supports for the Dolby Mobile 3.0 Plus sound enhancement and it can play several multimedia files like MP3, WAV, eAAC+, MP4, H.263 and H.264 videos.
In order to gain access to the internet, the phone runs on 2G and 3G network through HSDPA (21 Mbps) and HSUPA (5.76 Mbps). It’s unfortunate thing to know that this smartphone doesn’t support for the high-speed 4G internet access. For the wireless networking, users can use Wi-Fi (hotspot), DLNA and Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP. For PC sync or local connection, users can utilize the microUSB (MHL) v2.0. On the downside, the phone also lacks Near Field Communiacation (NFC) capability.
The price of Huawei Ascend D Quad XL is around $799 (unlocked). The advantages of having this phone will be the big and sharp display, high pixel density, superb processor, decent RAM, great camera specs particularly for HD video recording and also the Dolby5.1 surround sound for a better multimedia performance. Unfortunately, this flagship smartphone comes with expensive price indeed and it lacks 4G capability and NFC feature. [IS]
