Huawei’s new Ascend P6 smartphone has been awarded the title of ‘European Consumer Smartphone 2013 – 2014 by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA).

 

Distinguished by its ultra slim 6.18 mm design and sleek metallic body, EISA commended the Ascend P6 as a “surprisingly well-equipped smartphone at a very attractive price”, said a statement.   

 

“We are delighted to receive this prestigious accolade from EISA. This award represents firm recognition from the industry of Huawei’s ability to create products that meet and exceed the high standards of consumers,” said Ashraf Fawakherji, vice president of Huawei Device Middle East. “At Huawei, we are committed to providing best-in-class devices that excite people around the world and, with the Huawei Ascend P6, we have done just that.”  

 

Launched in the Middle East in August, the Ascend P6 is now available region-wide and in more than 60 countries across the globe. The Ascend P6 was the world’s slimmest smartphone at time of launch, has an industry leading 5MP front-facing camera, and features Huawei’s proprietary Emotion User Interface layered on top of Android’s Jelly Bean OS.
