Huawei is a massive cell phone manufacture and seller but has not created any wave in United States yet. Well it will try to make one by releasing its phablet, the Huawei Ascend Mate 2.

The company will be selling unlocked handsets to give some competition to Nexus 5 and Moto X. This is how the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 looks like.

While it does not have the most powerful specs available in the market they are good enough to run Android 4.3 jelly bean operating system.

Huawei Ascend Mate 2 Specifications

6.1 inch, 1280 x 720 pixel Gorilla Glass 3 display
1.6 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core CPU
2GB RAM

Winstron Tiger has released a gigantic windows phone handset with a 6.45 inch display. It packs full HD 1920×1080 pixel resolution and is powered by Snapdragon 800 quad core processor. There are two front facing stereo speakers on it and its entire chassis is made of metal. The Winstron Tiger will come pre loaded with windows phone 8.1 operating system and is even bigger than the biggest Lumia out there, the 1520 that comes with a whopping 6 inch screen.

So while the Winstron is not as big as Nokia, it will certainly take away the crown of biggest windows phone out there. Here is a hands on review video by mobilegeeks.

In the video you can see that there are no hardware buttons for the back, start and search. Instead you get on screen buttons that you find on the cheap Lumia 630 dual SIM handset.
