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 industrial design, Big display brings good experience, In-house performance package is fast and reliable, Battery life is where it should be, Camera quality is good, especially with a nice 5MP front shooter, Fingerprint reader is a very welcome surp
Size is pretty unwieldy for even large hands, Speaker quality is average, Camera modes sometimes are useless (HDR in particular), Without an app drawer, Emotion UI not for everyone

Light, Elegant, solid aluminum casing, Slim bezel, Bright, viewing angle screen with outstanding color reproduction, Lightning fast CPU performance, Very good GPU performance, Stylish, useful UI, Phone manager app, Very good primary camera for a smartphon
Cannot be used with one hand, one-hand feature defect, Assessed storage throughput low, Browsing could be smoother, Lack of an app drawer needs getting used to, Mono speaker too inferior for multimedia
Huawei Ascend Mate 7.In total, Huawei's iPhone rival made a very good impression in the test. Apart from the graphics unit that we "only" see in the upper range, it provides premium-range performance. The minor weaknesses that we could measure are more th...
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Huawei Ascend Mate7 are two of the best options on the market right now, if you're looking for a smartphone with a large screen. With this in mind, the 6-inch Mate7 may be a bit too steep of a form factor for some, with i...

Abstract: When the average Joe prepares to buy a cellphone, he either cannot afford a flagship phone or believes that a phone that costs around 200 USD may not be good enough. In other words, choosing a cellphone is like deciding what to eat for lunch and dinner. H...

Huawei is back with another crack at the oversized smartphone, and it might be the Chinese manufacturer's best device yetHuawei has been stepping up its game of late, with modern Android devices that are significantly better than its earlier offerings. Th...

Strong performance, Sharp Full HD screen, Neat UI tweaks, Decent battery life
Niche audience, Battery takes ages to charge, Photos sometimes over-saturated, Cluttered desktops
The Ascend Mate 7 is one of Huawei's finest premium devices to date, but of course that 6-inch hulking beast isn't for everyone. If your priority is rocking a massive Full HD screen, the Mate 7 should satisfy. The camera isn't top of its league but it's r...

Abstract: InternetThere are editions for China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom, all of which are 4G-supported (the Telecom edition has a baseband). There is also a open-channel edition. This version is granted access by the Kirin 925's baseband to networks...
Metal and sturdy construction, Industryleading fingerprint scanner on the back, Attractive, lagfree interface, Recordsetting battery life, Support for a large number of LTE bands
The camera could use some work – shots often suffer from improper exposition and color abnormalities, Minimum brightness is too high for comfortable viewing in dark environments, Lacks 4K UHD video recording
The Huawei Ascend Mate7 isn't for everybody. Certainly, the 6-inch screen will put off a sizable portion of potential customers, as that's obviously way into phablet territory. On the bright side, however, the Mate7 is a really compact device relative to ...
Great build quality, Large 6″ screen, Compact size for such a large phone, Solid build quality, Excellent battery life, Innovative features such as volume down twice to take a picture, finger print reader works from all angles, Free protective phone
Huawei's software customizations, Bad screen performance in sunlight, Average audio performance, both as a phone and loud speakers, Slippery allmetal unibody, 1080p screen not up to par.
At $699, the Huawei Ascend Mate7 is great value for the hardware that you get. The software seems to be the real achilles heel of the phone though. Despite this, Ascend Mate7 is very user friendly for people new to smartphones or switching from iOS. For A...
