Huawei Ascend G7 Smartphone Launched With Full Metal Body At IFA 2014

Huawei has announced a new premium metal clad smartphone that is smaller than its latest flagship model at the IFA 2014 in Berlin. The Chinese company describes the Ascend G7 as a "beautiful crafted, elegant metallic designed" smartphone. The handset maker was previously criticized for not coming up with a phone with "premium" feel.

The Ascend G7, which was announced today at IFA 2014, sports a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720p HD. Although the phone is made out of metal, its street price of 299 Euro or Rs. 23,920 could be an icing on the cake.

Under the hood is a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of on-board storage. The device does offer an expandable storage via a microSD card slot (up to 64GB). There's a 13-megapixel rear facing camera on the rear, alongside a 5-megapixel shooter on the front.

Notably, the Ascend G7 is 4G LTE-enabled, meaning you can download HD-quality movies in a fraction of seconds. Ascend G7 will launch with EMUI 3.0, the new version of Huawei's intuitive user interface. The device weighs-in at 165g and measures 7.6mm in terms of thickness. The makers have added a 3000mAh battery fitted inside.
