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

Great fingerprint scanner, Metal body
It's pretty big, Performance doesn't sparkle
The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 comes running Android 4.4 KitKat, but the Chinese firm as applied its own overlay. It's a new version of the interface, known as Emotion UI 3.0, and it's debuting on the Ascend G7 as well as the Mate 7. It's slightly less childish...
Abstract: All-metal handsets are not too common but last year, Huawei announced its Ascend Mate 7 and delivered its first all-metal device. This year, Huawei revealed the Honor 7, which brings an updated all-metal build and an experience that's definitely been insp...
With the Mate 7, Huawei goes further away from playing the pure “value” game and enters high-end territory. A $600 price puts it less than $100 from the Galaxy Note 4, $150 below the iPhone 6+ and $50 above the Galaxy S5 – this is not always an obvious po...
Slow software in some cases, Big screen not taken advantage of with software, Lack of support for wireless charging or WiFi ac, Unimpressive speaker
Sitting around the same cost as other large form factor devices like the Galaxy Note 3, it's hard to say whether or not this device is worth buying right now. It's certainly better-built than the Note 3, though software is subjective and the multi-tasking...

Massive, greatquality display sits inside a premium aluminium shell with small bezels. Generally good performance with fantastic battery life. Decent value for money.
Camera is mediocre, even in good conditions. Doesn't match the top end devices in performance.
When I received the Ascend Mate 7 on my doorstep a few weeks ago, I didn't really know what to expect from the Chinese OEM that has been long associated with budget handsets. A few weeks later, using the Mate 7 as my daily driver, I've actually come to qu...
Abstract: The X5Max is no slouch on the specs either. It does not offer the flagship grade chip, but packs a reasonable an octa-core Snapdragon 615 with the 4 cores clocked at 1.7 GHz (Cortex-A53) and another 4 cores clocked at 1.0 GHz (Cortex-A53). In addition, th...

Having spent plenty of time with the Mate 7 I think I've build quite a good opinion of the device. Huawei's new flagship remains polarizing as it offers some quite positive aspects while carrying some big compromises. Huawei again impressed me with their...
Reliable metal body, Exceptional displaytodevice ratio, Functional fingerprint reader, Great battery life
Screen can get too dim, Main camera is not uptodate, Battery isn't removable
The Ascend Mate7 may not be on the bleeding edge in every regard, but it's still a smartly constructed phablet that will satisfy most power users' needs without totally busting their bank account in the process. Anyone who picks it up will be pleased wi...
