Huawei Ascend D2: 5 Inch Full HD Flagship Spotted on Company's Site As Coming Soon in India

| Updated: Wednesday, August 7, 2013, 13:44 [IST]

Chinese tech vendors are slowly and gradually making their way to India with new devices in the coming months. One among the top 10 smartphone vendors globally is Huawei, which is set to bring its Ascend D2 smartphone in India very soon. Originally, Huawei announced Ascend D2 at this year's CES tech show back in January.

But today, GizBot spotted the much hyped Huawei Ascend D2 on Huawei's India site as an upcoming model. The Chinese major had already launched its 6-inch phablet - Ascend Mate in the Indian market back in June 2013 at Rs 24,900.

Interestingly, Indian tech media is betting high on the coming of Ascend P6, the world's slimmest smartphone to India a little early. However, the Huawei Ascend P6 was not even tagged as "Coming Soon" on company's website.

Meanwhile, in the coming days many players including Micromax could announce their respective Full HD handsets in the Indian market. Huawei needs to price its Ascend D2 at par with other Full HD display ducked handsets. For instance, Lenovo's K900 is retailing for Rs. 26,380 in India. On the other hand, Sony Xperia Z price has been slashed as well. So logically, Huawei should price its Ascend D2 under Rs. 30,000, to woo Indian consumers.

The Killer feature of Huawei Ascend D2 should be its battery, and the makers have rightly put a 3000mAh Li Ion battery inside. On paper, the Ascend D2 will surely beat its nearest competitors. The Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with a 2600mAh Li Ion battery; on the other hand, the Sony Xperia Z has a 2300mAh Li Ion battery. While the Lenovo K900 packs a 2500mAh Li Ion battery.

GizBot expect the Huawei Ascend D2 to be price somewhere around Rs. 28,990. Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates.
