At the MWC 2014, Huawei was rumored to announce a mid-range LTE capable smartphone and as expected, they announced a midrange smartphone in the form of Huawei Ascend G6. Huawei had launched a couple of tablets and a lone smartphone at the event. Unlike the tablets, which are powered by Huawei’s own processor, the Ascend G6 smartphone is powered by a quad-core processor from Qualcomm.

In terms of design, the Huawei Ascend G6 seems like a midrange version of the Ascend P6. It comes with a dual tone finish and has a removable back cover. The bottom of the device is curved and there is a 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom of the left side which is kind of weird. It packs midrange specifications in a LTE capable device and that seems to be the exact intention from Huawei.
Huawei Ascend G6 comes in a range of colors like black with light gunmetal grey or rose gold colors , or in white with pink or champagne gold colors. It is expected to go on sale in April 2014 and is priced at 249Euros.
