Huawei Ascend D2 Hands-on: Crazy-High DPI, Shrugs Off WaterBecause it crams 1080p resolution into a 5-inch display, giving
this phone a crazy high 443 DPI. That’s higher than the iPhone 5 (326)
and most Android handsets. The HTC Droid DNA is a comparable 440 ppi.
The Ascend D2 has a lot of other things going for it, including IPX
water resistance. In fact, during a demo Huawei dunked the phone in a
tank then took it out, and it just kept on working.
This
smartphone features a sharp and fast 13-MP camera, as well as a 3000mAh
battery that’s nearly as beefy as what you’ll find in the Motorola
Droid RAZR Maxx HD. Plus, Huawei promises that its power saving
technologies will save you 20 percent juice in standby mode.
In the hand, we like the D2′s slightly curved metal frame, but at 6
ounces it’s about an ounce heavier than the Droid DNA. However, both
phones have equally thin profiles at 0.4 inches. Did we notice the dpi
advantage? Not at first glance, but we also didn’t get a lot of time to
view HD content.
Other features of the Ascend D2 include swift sharing, which is
supposed to be faster than Samsung’s S Share for its Galaxy devices.
You’ll also find a super hands-free function that is designed to let
multiple people listen in on a call within a 5-foot radius.
The Ascend D2 will be available in January in China and then Japan. No word yet on a U.S. release.
