Huawei Ascend D1 quad XL Pro Reviews

Huawei has grown a lot from the manufacturer of cheap low and mid-range phones we knew, and the Ascend D quad XL offers high-end features and launch price that are commensurate with the current Android flagships. The phone is positioned to stand a chance against Android juggernauts from Samsung, LG or Sony, so it offers everything they do, like a powerful processor and HD screen, but wrapped in quite the thick and uninspiring body. This plasticky and rather chubby construction is a major gripe with the phone, along with the jittery autofocus when recording video. Huawei did utilize the ample space inside, however, to throw in the largest battery capacity in its class, so the design tradeoff might be acceptable for some. Direct competition to the Huawei Ascend D quad XL is the LG Optimus 4X HD, which comes at about the same price, and offers very similar specs, down to the jittery autofocus. It has a very slim and eye-pleasing body in comparison, though, plus it sports a slightly larger display. The HTC One X is also of similar pricing, with a more toned body, and screen that is larger and brighter, but its lack of a memory expansion slot is a turnoff. The Sony Xperia T should also be noted as a competitor, and it has the same chubby physique as the Ascend D quad XL, while offering a better camera. With the 15 hours of talk time, though, Huawei’s phone one-ups its direct competition in battery capacity, which makes it a very serious contender in the Android battle.
