Huawei's Ascend Mate7 is a solid effort that goes toe-to-toe with flagships from Samsung, Apple, LG and Sony. If you're in the market for a new smartphone, it's definitely worth considering the Mate7, especially if you're looking at an outright purchase....
Abstract: China does smartphones well; we know that much is the case from our quick peeks into the world of Xiaomi and Oppo. There's another big player that has been around in Australia for longer, though, and it has a brand new flagship phablet. Huawei's Mate7 pa...
While we still have to do an in depth review of the Huawei Ascend Mate7, the lack of bloat-ware and amazing hardware does make the look like Huawei has a winner on its hands. The UI while a pain point, will appeal to first time Android users switching ove...

Although it's let down by its awkward software, the excellent battery life and big, bright screen help make the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 a decent choice for those of you looking for movies and games on the go....
The Hauwei Ascend Mate 7 looks and feels like a surprisingly accomplished handset, and at it's attractive price point it can really give the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 a run for its money. I still have a few questions on the performance side of things, but th...
Abstract: All-metal handsets are not too common but last year, Huawei announced its Ascend Mate 7 and delivered its first all-metal device. This year, Huawei revealed the Honor 7, which brings an updated all-metal build and an experience that's definitely been insp...
With the Mate 7, Huawei goes further away from playing the pure “value” game and enters high-end territory. A $600 price puts it less than $100 from the Galaxy Note 4, $150 below the iPhone 6+ and $50 above the Galaxy S5 – this is not always an obvious po...
Slow software in some cases, Big screen not taken advantage of with software, Lack of support for wireless charging or WiFi ac, Unimpressive speaker
Sitting around the same cost as other large form factor devices like the Galaxy Note 3, it's hard to say whether or not this device is worth buying right now. It's certainly better-built than the Note 3, though software is subjective and the multi-tasking...

Massive, greatquality display sits inside a premium aluminium shell with small bezels. Generally good performance with fantastic battery life. Decent value for money.
Camera is mediocre, even in good conditions. Doesn't match the top end devices in performance.
When I received the Ascend Mate 7 on my doorstep a few weeks ago, I didn't really know what to expect from the Chinese OEM that has been long associated with budget handsets. A few weeks later, using the Mate 7 as my daily driver, I've actually come to qu...
