The editors didn't like
It's pretty big
Performance doesn't sparkle
Old version of Android
Too much bloatware
Almost impossible to use one handed
Micro SD slot hard to access
You need two hands to use it
Interface is underwhelming
Less pixels than rivals
It's running on an old version of Android
Huawei's software tweaks make it clunky to use and there's loads of bloatware installed as standard
Emotion UI makes needless changes that hamper performance and make the phone less user friendly
Awful UI
Lots of bloatware
May be too big for some
6-inch screen means huge a handset
Default theme is horrid (as are most downloadable ones)
Vibrate alert feeble
Some software irks
Battery life could still be better given 4100mAh capacity
No UHD/4K video
Good battery life
But should be better given the enormous battery capacity
Graphics chip might be a little underpowered for future titles
You have to choose between a second SIM or microSD
Abstract: Delivering one of the largest visual platforms in a smartphone, the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 has a 6” FHD In-cell display, which by design has great wide viewing angles. The first surprise is that in the hand, the Mate 7 doesn't feel anywhere near as big as i...

A Mate 7 but beefier and better. The Acend Mate 7 Gold might not have addressed the slight problems we encountered on the Mate 7, but the performance of its already sterling features has been bolstered. For starters, it's now dual-SIM, a pretty unique att...
Abstract: Despite the theatrics if you pause 28 seconds into the trailer it briefly compares the device to the iPhone 6+ (from a cosmetic point of view) and it looks pretty similar in our eyes, both in terms of size and the thinness of the casing!Yet the device's s...
Excellent fingerprint sensor, The screen – bright and vibrant, Battery life, Design
Old version of Android, Too much bloatware, Almost impossible to use one handed, Micro SD slot hard to access
The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 is a good looking, solidly built handset than has more than a touch of quality. It feels nice in the hand, is well balanced, has a great screen, plenty of storage options and features galore.On the slightly less than positive sid...
Nice metal design, easy to hold, fantastic battery life, solid build, good value for money
Awful UI, old version of Android, lots of bloatware, may be too big for some
Huawei's first foray into phablets does an all round impressive job. A good looking design with a great build quality nails the outside of the handset. With offerings from Apple and Samsung tearing up the phablet rulebook in 2014, Huawei's handset has ...

The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 is a semi-affordable big screen smartphone that offers top-end performance, above average battery life and decent camera quality. However, detrimental software additions make it slightly unintuitive to use....
Decent value, Solid design, Huge, good-quality screen, Good battery life
Software not great fresh out of the box, Some minor build issues
The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 is one of the first 6-inch phones that avoids being a royal pain to use. The software is quirkier than a French art house film, but good performance elsewhere makes up for it.Next, check our our best mobile phones round-up...

There's no escaping the Huawei Ascend Mate 7's physical size. This may be one giant phone, but it's also the embodiment of Huawei coming of age. It's big meets beautiful with premium design flair, a great fingerprint scanner, ample performance and a...
