Starting today, residents in the United States can pick up Huawei’s latest oversized smartphone, the Ascend Mate 2, in either black or white for $300 from third-party independent retailer, Newegg.
The Mate 2 is a pretty impressive high-end device, packing a 6.1-inch IPS+ LCD capacitive touchscreen, a 1.6GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 2GB of RAM and a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera.
Out of the box, the handset runs the latest build of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean skinned with Huawei’s Emotion custom user interface, but is expected to receive the much-anticipated 4.4 KitKat over-the-air update in the not-too-distant future.
If you’re not completely sold on the Mate 2, you may want to take into account its massive 3,900mAh battery, which is more than capable of powering the 4G-enabled smartphone for two full days of continuous use. What’s more, if you’re carrying other devices around with you when you’re on the go and one runs out of juice, you can plug it into the Mate 2 via the included microUSB cable to charge it; effectively using the phablet as an external battery pack.
