We heard yesterday that Huawei’s new quad-core smartphone, the Ascend D1 Quad, would be launching in China next week. However, it appears that the device has been launched a little earlier than expected as it is now available to buy from Huawei’s online store.
The handset was previously called the Ascend D Quad and it has now launched as the Ascend D1 Quad. It is available from today in China for 2,699 yuan, which is around $425 US.
Specifications and Features
As a reminder, the Huawei Ascend D1 Quad comes with a 4.5 inch HD IPS+ touchscreen display, which offers vibrant colors and sharp visuals, making it ideal for media consumption and gaming. The processing power is provided by a quad-core 1.4GHz Cortex-A9 processor, ensuring smooth performance and efficient multitasking.
The Huawei Ascend D1 Quad also comes with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of built-in storage. While 8GB might seem limited by today’s standards, it is sufficient for basic apps and media. Additionally, the device supports expandable storage via a microSD card slot, allowing users to increase the storage capacity as needed.
Running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the Ascend D1 Quad offers a user-friendly interface and access to a wide range of apps through the Google Play Store. Although Android 4.0 is not the latest version, it still provides a solid and reliable user experience.
Camera and Battery Life
The Ascend D1 Quad is equipped with an 8-megapixel rear camera, which includes features such as autofocus, LED flash, and 1080p video recording. This makes it a capable device for capturing high-quality photos and videos. The front-facing camera is 1.3 megapixels, suitable for video calls and selfies.
Battery life is another important aspect of any smartphone, and the Ascend D1 Quad does not disappoint. It comes with a 1,800mAh battery, which should provide enough power to get through a full day of moderate use. Huawei has also included power-saving features to help extend battery life when needed.
In terms of connectivity, the Ascend D1 Quad supports 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, ensuring that users can stay connected and navigate easily. The device also includes a range of sensors such as an accelerometer, proximity sensor, and compass, enhancing its functionality.
