It is made using more than 5,000 water ripple elements and offers a curve touch that makes it fit nicely into your hand. The construction is strengthened with metal frames. The thickness is put at 8.5 millimetres, making for a relatively slim device. The Huawei G Power sports a 5-inch diagonal display with an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels and approximately 294ppi pixel density for decent viewing.

Camera and Storage

The G Power appears ready to deliver some great shots with a combination of 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. It should meet the needs of selfie addicts with wide-angle shots. It will have 16 GB of onboard storage, but it appears there may be units with 8GB storage, although this is not certain yet. MicroSD storage expansion will be supported as well.

Power and Performance

With a quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor in charge of business, the Huawei G Power should deliver decent performance and enjoyable multitasking. This promise is further assured with the provision of 2 GB of RAM to provide backing for the CPU clocked at 1.3 GHz. The smartphone runs off Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, which offers you access to many great features and apps.
