Huawei likes to launch lots of smartphones at a time and it arrived at IFA 2014 with four new handsets including the Huawei Ascend G620S.The headline feature here is the 5-inch display which has a 720p resolution. That's not full HD, but at a price point which should land somewhere around the £150 mark (about US$250, AU$270) that's not a huge issue.
It means the Ascend G620S finds itself up against the likes of the Moto G 4G, Sony Xperia M2 and Samsung Galaxy Ace 3.Couple the price with CAT 4 LTE (that's 4G data speeds up to 150Mbps if your network allows) and the Ascend G620S is offering a big screen and LTE for all.
It's not awful, and the textured rear does provide a nice level of grip, allowing to keep the Ascend G620S securely in my palm. Huawei has opted to keep navigation keys below, rather than on, the screen. This adds a little bit of extra height to the handset. They were suitably responsive, as were the power/lock and volume rocker buttons located on the right side of the handset.
A 2MP camera sits above the screen, just to the right of the ear piece, while on the rear the only blemishes are an 8MP camera, single LED flash, centralized Huawei logo and a small speaker grille in the bottom corner.
I was able to peel off the rear cover of the Ascend G620S with ease - there's a little dip in the case at the bottom allowing you to get a fingernail in - but I was disappointed to find the 2000mAh battery was sealed into the unit.You can gain access to the microSIM and microSD slot though, with supporting cards up to 32GB in size.
