Reviews for the Huawei Ascend G7
The gentle giant. Huawei's Ascend G7 towers over many other smartphones with its 5.5-inch screen. In our tests we will clarify whether its performance and build are also outstanding in view of the affordable 299 Euros (~$372).

It's clear that Huawei is serious about improving its image in the West, and with this competitively priced handset and attractive design, it certainly has a chance of doing this.

Archive.org versionThe Huawei Ascend G7 is one of the best-value large-screen phones available, and provides 80-90% of what you get from a phone twice the price. Ultra-picky experienced Android fans may want to consider something a bit pricier to get a sharper screen and faster processor, but criticising the phone too much for either of these pure tech snobbery. Both the screen and CPU remain very good.

Archive.org versionHuawei’s Ascend G7 is a bit of a handful, but it’s also a truly brilliant mid-range mobile. A powerful combination of 4G support, sharp HD screen and incredible battery life makes it one of the best portable entertainment machines you can buy, without shelling out four to five hundred pounds.

Archive.org versionIf you're after a large-screen 4G phone and you know you want Android, the Ascend G7 fits the bill. It has a decent screen, but not the highest resolution. The cameras take decent photos and reasonable video, too. Build quality is also good. The main problem is performance. Not only does the interface stutter and lag, but our benchmarks show that it just isn't that fast. However, it's hard to find a better deal - the OnePlus One is the closest competition but it's at least £30 more.

Archive.org versionThe Huawei Ascend G7 is an attractive handset that sports a solid chassis and a slim design, but its mid-range specs and 720p display hold it back from truly being the phablet of your dreams. For around £150, it's not bad, but it feels like an iPhone 6 Plus wannabe that just can't quite deliver.

Archive.org versionThe Ascend G7 4G is set to retail for about £150 and will be available from Carphone Warehouse, Amazon and other online retailers, believed to be released sometime in the beginning of March This device should not be overlooked, especially if you’re after a larger screen phone. It feels more premium than its price tag, with fantastic battery life, and takes some decent photos. If my Note 3 stopped working tomorrow I think the Huawei Ascend G7 4G is where my money would be going.

Archive.org versionHuawei has announced the Ascend G7, a new smartphone with a metal body, looking to bring some of that HTC One love to those on a budget. The handset has a metal body that's punctuated by two plastic segments in the rear, top and bottom. It reminds us of some of the unibody design we saw from HTC in that past - the HTC Legend for example - and we imagine this is to aid network connectivity.
