Huawei today said the Ascend Mate2 is available to U.S. consumers through a new web site, GetHuawei.com.
Huawei initially announced the Ascend Mate2 in January, and later said it would sell the device directly to consumers rather than through a wireless network operator. Key features of the Mate2 include a 6.1-inch 720p HD display, 1.6GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 4,050mAh battery, 13-megapixel main camera, 5-megapixel user-facing camera, and support for the LTE networks run by AT&T and T-Mobile.
It runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with Huawei’s Emotion UI 2.0, which supports mini-apps that float above other apps, and a driving mode with a simplified interface.
Huawei is asking $300 for the Ascend Mate2, which ships unlocked.
