Despite the wide offer of phablets that has accumulated in recent months, the Huawei Ascend Mate Until now it occupied a quite unique position due to the size of its screen, 6.1 inches, dimensions that no other smartphone has dared to approach until now. However, the presentation of the Galaxy Mega 6.3 de Samsung has changed this, surpassing even the screen size of the phablet of Huawei. We show you a comparison of the two devices that have taken the phablet concept to its limits.
Designer
As is logical, due to the size of their screens, the two phablets The ones we deal with here are among the largest we can find. The Galaxy Mega 6.3, with a slightly larger screen it is unsurprisingly a little longer (16,76 cm against 16,35 cm) And width (8,8 cm front 8,57 cm) but surprisingly, it is considerably less thick (8 mm against 9.9 mm). In any case, in both phablets the manufacturers have done a good job and despite their size, they are quite light (200 grams).
When it comes to design, it looks quite different: while the Galaxy Mega 6.3 has the characteristic family resemblance of smartphones from Samsung, with rounded corners, the Ascend Mate it is something more square. Both are available in black and white and use plastic for the case.
Screen
The difference in size between both devices is really small and in both cases they are well above the common, even between phablets, with 6.3 inches for Galaxy Mega 6.3 y 61. inches for Ascend Mate. Regarding the resolution, there is no notable difference either, since both have HD display (720 x 1280) although, logically, the pixel density is slightly higher in the Huawei phablet for having a somewhat smaller screen (PPI 241 against PPI 233).
Unlimited
In the performance section, however, we do find quite different data: while the phablet of Samsung has a processor dual core with a frequency of 1,7 GHzThat of Huawei mount a processor quad core but with a little less power, 1,4 GHz. The Ascend Mate It has, of course, a clearer advantage in the RAM section, with 2 GB by 1,5 GHz of the Galaxy Mega 6.3. At the moment we have not had the opportunity to compare the power of the Galaxy Mega 6.3, but because of the results that we have been able to see for him Huawei Ascend Mate It is clear that it is a solvent device, but far from being close to the most cutting-edge.
Storage capacity
El Galaxy Mega 6.3 will be available with two different storage capacities, 8 / 16 GB, Whereas the Ascend Mate It seems that it will only go on sale with 16 GB hard disk. Although the option of 8 GB It can be an interesting alternative for those who do not need too much memory and prefer, on the contrary, to lower the price to the maximum, for those who seek to have as much space as possible there is so far no difference between the two. However, there is one in which its memory can be expanded via cards micro-SD: both phablets have this option, but in the Huawei just expand up 32 GB while in the Samsung we can get to 64 GB.
Battery
In this section, as far as figures are concerned, the advantage is clearly for the Ascend Mate, with a battery of 4.050 mAh, compared to that of 3.200 mAh of the Galaxy Mega 6.3. Obviously, in both cases we are talking about very powerful batteries, but it could not be otherwise, taking into account the size of the screen and its demands. In any case, as we always remember, the autonomy does not depend only on the size of the battery but crucially also on the consumption of the device, so nothing can replace the real autonomy tests.
Cameras
Although the cameras of 13 SM are the order of the day in the field of phablets, in the case of these two devices we find rear cameras of "only" 8 SM. However, keep in mind that it is the same type of camera found in the Galaxy Note 2 and its results are excellent. The front camera of the Galaxy Mega 6.3In any case, it is higher than that of the Ascend Mate, with 1,9 SM y 1 SMrespectively.
Price
As you may have seen, together these are two types of phablet very similar, with very wide screens and characteristics a little behind those of the leading devices of both companies, but still at a good level, and it is to be expected that in both cases we will find Prices relatively affordable. Unfortunately, in the case of Galaxy Mega 6.3 We still do not have any figure that can serve as an indication of the price for which it could finally go on sale, although we do have some clues in the case of Ascend Mate, which at its launch in China could be purchased for prices below 400 euros.
