If you like real thin, you are going to love the new device by the Chinese smart-phone manufacturer-The Ascend P1-S unveiled at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Coming in at a mere 6.68mm thin, this 4.3inches Super AMOLED touch-screen beauty presently bears the title of ‘world’s thinnest phone’.
Huawei is mostly known for its bargain Android phone notable amongst them is the Huawei U8180 ‘Gaga’ phone being sold exclusively by Etisalat in Nigeria at about N19, 000. Recently, they seem to be taking it up a notch with the release of the Huawei U880 Vision and now, the Ascend P1-S.
The Ascend P1-S is built with premium components with a metallic frame running around the edge of the device. The 4.3inches super AMOLED corning Gorilla Glass display delivers a sharp, clear picture with a resolution of 960x540, though some believe that the Ascend would have been better with a "HD" resolution of 1280x720 (frankly, anything from 480x800 works for me). It weighs about 130g having a dimension of 127.4 x 64.3mm.
The phone comes in a metallic finish with black, ceramic white and cherry-blossom pink colour options. The Huawei Ascend P1-S is powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz TI OMAP 4460 Cortex-A9 processor, has 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory. There is also a microSD card slot for extra storage of up to 32GB.
The Ascend P1-S will be shipped with a stock version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, so there is no overlay software to drain the battery and slow the device. Other features of the Ascend P1 S include an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with dual LED flash (the camera doubles as a 1080p video recorder) and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling, facial recognition capabilities, Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and HDMI ports. The Ascend P1-S is powered by a 1670mAh which Huawei claims will give 30% better performance than other high-end devices.
Pricing on this device is presently unknown, but would keep you updated when the device starts shipping around April.
