El Huawei Ascend P7 it was going to be one of the first smartphones to be launched with a sapphire crystal that was going to make it scratch resistant, as we already said a few weeks ago. However, now the new smartphone has been officially announced, and it is already a reality that we can talk about without any doubt. In the coming days, more data will be confirmed, such as its price.
It was the company's press team that officially announced the existence of the smartphone and its launch. Thus, the Huawei Ascend P7 would be the first commercially launched smartphone with sapphire crystal, with the exception of some smartphones, such as the Kyocera, which, unlike this Huawei, were quite peculiar. It would be compatible with 4G networks, although little else is known about this smartphone. However, this Huawei Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition could only be launched in China.
In fact, official statement Huawei is talking about launching the smartphone in China, so it's unknown if it will be released outside of Europe. What's more, the fact that they're specifically talking about China makes us think it's quite likely the smartphone won't be released in the rest of the world. At least, that's what should happen for a considerable amount of time.
However, we shouldn't rule out the launch of the new Huawei Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition at the IFA. Many believe that Huawei should relaunch the smartphone, with a sapphire crystal display and with a higher-end processor that can compete with the processors of the other major flagships on the market. These two changes would make the Huawei Ascend P7 one of the best smartphones on the market today, a position it doesn't currently occupy due to some significant shortcomings, despite the fact that its price is cheaper than its rivals, something obvious with a terminal of a somewhat lower level.
They claim that more details about the Huawei Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition will be revealed in the coming days, such as the price that the smartphone would have. We hope they also confirm the countries in which it will be available.
