Performance and battery life

Several months between the end of Ascend 2012 line and a 2013 product series don’t lead to the huge leap in performance. Ascend Mate again runs one of the HiSilicon K3V2 SoC of Huawei, this time at higher speed: 1.5GHz. while it’s a quad-core processor, it still bases on the older Cortex-A9 architecture of ARM instead of the newer A15 or a custom design like the Snapdragon family of Qualcomm. There’re lots of possibilities that any improvements from Huawei doubling RAM to 2GB; we don’t have any problem when open some apps at the same time.

Unfortunately for Huawei, the rival stay still ever since K3V2 released. Samsung has just increase fire-power of Exynos 4 Quad of Galaxy Note II at the time we review D1 Quad XL, and LG Optimus G Pro has the luxury of Snapdragon 600. While Huawei unnecessarily hope to beat LG or Samsung in raw performance, the generation gap is a little too obvious according to our likes: what used to be a premium processor now reaching closer to the cheap-priced model.

The limits are most realizable on graphics performance. GLBenchmark result suggests that’s available, but launching some games clarifies the problem more. Though some old games such as Riptide GP runs smoothly, the heavy games such as Real Racing 3 has reduced the frame rate down to 1 digit. With 1 smartphone which size can easily lead to mobile gaming, that’s not just a small disappointment. Ideally, Huawei should attach K3V3 with the opening Ascend Mate, not the next model.

However, you can forgive that slow performance after taking a look at battery life. Huawei takes advantages of the “supreme” 4,050mAh battery, and you don’t have to save it to see all the benefits. With Ascend Mate in a regular power profile, we can repeat 7,20p video in one of the critical testing conditions (screen at half brightness, WiFi on, but no connection, the social apps in the background) in 12 hours 40 minutes – one of the best results we’ve ever seen. It’s 2 hour longer than Galaxy Note II and 5 hour more than Optimus G Pro. It’s still undefined of Galaxy Mega 6.3, though its 3,200mAh battery doesn’t promise an equal fight.

The real-time test is more impressive. Ascend Mate can easily last over a whole day of using with some battery life remaining., and 4 hours of heavy test makes the phone battery remain over half of its capacity. If there’s anything to be complained, that will be the recharging time. while you don’t have lots of problems to charge the battery to its full when using the exclusive fast-charging adapter that Huawei provides in the box, the USB port of the regular laptop or phone adapter can take 4 hours to do the same thing. Which means that, we prefer having the luxury of slowly charging the device at our home rather than having to make a quick recharge at the midday at the company.

Mobile performance won’t impress anyone, but we don’t expect much when there’s no sign of LTE in the device. we received an unlock, network-neutral Ascend Mate that can use HSPA+ data 21Mbps network on 850/900/1,700/1,900/2,100 band and reach the low average speed bit usable: 4.2Mbps/download and 2.1Mbps/upload on the Telus network in Ottawa, Canada. Call quality on that network is pretty good, both incoming and outgoing; it’s not very clear, but there’s no big complaints, even with the background noise.

Media performance is stable, despite being damaged a little by the absent MHL. Not one satisfies with the built-in speakerphone, which is not pretty loud, but they can be pleased with Dolby Digital Plus sound. The same to Beats processing, its equalization software fills the sound field on the headphones. The default audio profile is slightly heavy in bass, but you can choose another sound or turn the Dolby software off if it proves to be excessive. External video is limited with the DLNA media sharing when there’s no MHL to rely on.

Conclusion

Sometimes Ascend Mate is considered a 2-side smartphone. It’s a good prospective premium phone, with large screen and longer battery life. If you highly appreciate these 2 factors than other factors, you may have found the ideal mobile companion: Mate surpasses Galaxy Note II and Optimus G Pro on these 2 aspects, and it can surpass Galaxy Mega 6.3 in the battery test. Ascend Mate splits groups in terms of software. While we normally prefer the existing Android interface, Huawei has molded Emotion UI into a really unique experience and sometime more excellent, as long as you don’t mind that loss app drawer.

The other half is the classic Huawei: which means, it’s a cheap-priced device which is sold in a cheaper price than the expensive rivals. With all the amazing decorations on the outside of Ascend Mate, it is actually a saving phone on the inside with older processor, only 3G data, modest storage and mostly recycled camera tech. that’s easier to accept than those who only pay attention to the battery life and screen size, but this design sacrifices stop Mate from being the best among the group. We also want to see how Galaxy Mega 6.3 compares. After all, the upcoming “supreme” phone of Samsung has LTE, 16GB optional storage and the more ripe software pack (sometimes criticized).

Ascend Mate may prove to be best reasonable if you can buy it at cheaper price than its rivals. Good news is that you can, depending on where you live. Ever since this article, a store like Expansys UK has sold Ascend Mate with the price of $508, $166 cheaper than the price of $674 of Galaxy Note II. In china, it has the price of $438. Americans won’t save much compared to Galaxy Note II (only $55 different at Expansys), but the phone is still one of the cheapest in its category – especially if you’re calculating the cost by each inch of the screen. We prefer using Ascend Mate, but we also accept that it’s a dedicated too, not a multi-function phone.
