Huawei has launched a new flagship handset, the Android-powered Ascend P7, in a bid to keep the Chinese electronics giant in the third place in the global smartphone market.

Shipping 48.8 million units last year, the company is currently just ahead of both LG and Lenovo, but is still way behind first place Samsung and iPhone-maker Apple.

Huawei have said that they want to increase shipments to 80 million a year and think that the new P7, with its slim 6.5-millimeter profile and 8-megapixel front facing camera, will help do the trick.

The handset was launched at an event in Paris and will be available this month across Europe priced at around €449 (US$625) off-contract. The smartphone is powered by a 1.8GHz quad-core processor and comes with a 5-inch, full HD screen. It also offers 2GB of RAM, 16GB of integrated storage and can connect to the ultrafast 4G network.

Huawei say they are hoping to cash in on the selfie crazes with an 8-megapixel camera on the front that takes 'panoramic selfies' to fit in multiple people into a single selfie.

I wonder if they improved the battery life and overheating issues.

Doesn't look too bad, apart from it looks very similar to a Iphone 5s from the side.

Probably going to buy this. Always liked Huawei's styling and features.

 

That said, I buy a new phone every 6-7 years, so when I do it's going to be for keeps.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

The sides look like an IPhone's.

The back looks like an Xperia Z(whatever gen).

And the front looks pretty bad to me.

Blah. I don't trust Huawei as a company at all. They've been banned by US and Korean government agencies.

The phone is rather lackluster.

Vivo makes much nicer, almost Apple quality handsets. I really hope they bust into the international scene sooner than later.
