Huawei outs Ascend P1 2600 mAh XL, offering 56 percent more power

The Ascend P1 2600 mAh XL battery is expected to last near about 10 hours of gameplay, given that the original Ascend P1 lasted 6.4 hours.

This year at Mobile Asia Expo, Huawei reintroduced its previously launched smartphone Ascend P1, but this time it packs a 2600 mAh powerful battery which boosts its life by 56 percent.

Huawei has been successful in churning out budget-friendly smartphones, feature phones and USB sticks. But considering the fact that most of the US carriers have been keeping Huawei out of the spotlight by choosing very few of its devices, Huawei might have finally decided to revamp their brand recognition.

Huawei made clear of their intentions to run with the big boys of smartphones at the Consumer Electronics Show, by introducing their best offering till date: the Ascend P1 and P1 S.

Now the Ascend P1 2600 mAh XL is out and the specs are not changed much from the Ascend P1 apart from the battery.

For specs, the Ascend P1 2600 XL runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and features a 4.3 inch OLED capacitive touchscreen (960 x 540). It houses a 1GHz dual-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM. We have an 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash, a 1.3MP front facing camera and an internal storage of 4GB.

Other specs include: MHL support, micro HDMI, microSD, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and the main feature of Ascend P1 2600, the powerful 2600mAh battery. The battery is expected to last near about 10 hours of gameplay, given that the earlier Ascend P1 lasted 6.4 hours. The entire enseble will be available in black.
