New spearhead in the Chinese manufacturer Huawei, the Ascend P7 offers a working design and low-tech or less similar to those of high-end smartphones on the market in recent months characteristics. All for a much lower price references of gender (GS5, Xperia Z2, iPhone 5S, One M8 ...) as it is proposed in France, less than € 400. Screen Full HD IPS 5-inch chipset quad core home Kirin 910T 1.8GHz and backed by 2GB of RAM, Android 4.4 user overcoat covered by Huawei (Emotion UI 2.3), and battery (non-removable) of 2500 mAh are planned for this mobile light weight (125 g only). Oriented photo, the new smartphone is equipped with two sensors, one in front, especially loaded pixels. When most high-end smartphones competitors offer a front sensor from February to May MP, the P7 contains 8MP. rear The backlit sensor is signed Sony, and ship 13 Mpx. His performances they allow him to rub without blushing, to the best smartphones of the moment that defies? Is the smartphone the " exceptional performance "touted by the brand? Response in this test bench ...
Ergonomics and design
Sobriety and elegance. This new flagship stamped Huawei sees indeed a "premium" look very neat. Its look is largely inspired by the iPhone 4S / 5s and Xperia Z2 because the phone is poured into a shell shaped from several thin layers of glass for greater resistance to scratches (no regrettable during our ten days use) and shock. The whole rests on a brushed aluminum chassis. 's design inspiration comes from elsewhere. Be. But we must admit that the proposed final result here is a real success. Add to this licked design, clean (no buttons in front), extreme thinness (6.5 mm thick) and lightweight (125 g against 145 g for S5 and 158 g for the Xperia Z2) which throw nothing away and facilitate handling, very nice.
While the display surface is optimized width for easy use with one hand, height, we would have liked still win screen a few millimeters on the bottom border. But we quibble a bit, because 72% of the front devoted to the screen, it is not far from the LG G2 and the screen almost borderless .
Screen
Huawei offers its P7 an IPS display technology 5 inches, with a Full HD 1080p. If the first looks worn on the screen immediately the display quality is appreciated, the results out of the lab confirm our first sentiment: P7 has a beautiful screen with wide viewing angles well. However, there means a weakling hair contrast (891:1) under many competing screens, including Ascend P6, released in 2013. Côté maximum brightness is better, very well, since full-lighthouse, the screen displays 470 cd / m². Outdoors, it is easy to read what is displayed correctly, even in bright sunlight. Côté color management, the new Huawei shows an average Delta E of 3.5. Recall that the delta E quantifies the difference between a perfect color and the one displayed on the screen. The result should be as close as possible to 0 or, in any case, less than 3 (average screens loyal phones). Here it is all good, with a nice natural and balanced report. P7 The Ascend displays a touch of delay 66 ms. A very satisfactory result, which places the large screen in the ranks of the best students. Memory, measuring tactile delay is to determine the latency lag between a finger movement on the touchpad and the consideration of this movement. This latency is measured in milliseconds, must be the lowest possible. Good point: The screen reacts even when hands are gloved. Few phones still offer this possibility.
Interface and Navigation
Powered by Android in its latest Kit Kat, the Ascend P7 receives the overlay house, Emotion UI . Improved and enriched over time by the manufacturer, that completely covers the interface of Android. The regulars of the Google OS displayed in its simplest device (version "stock") may be confused here as Emotion UI changes the initial interface. For example, there is not in Emotion UI application menu. These are, by default, all accessible on or offices, as iOS (iPhone). At the user to exercise organizational and group applications into folders.
Apart from this confusing aspect, it is clear that the user experience offered by the overlay is simply satisfactory.And that the proposed level of customization is particularly advanced. Something to create a bespoke interface (choice of theme of wallpaper, icon size, transition between pages ...).
Quick access to your favorites apps via the bar at the bottom of the screen, is configurable. Huawei Some applications are also in the game, such as "Phone Manager", which in particular see which applications consume the most in the background, clear the cache or even block contacts / unwanted calls. In the end, a "simple mode Home (left below), already available on other Huawei smartphone, change the interface abundant in a group of three offices with large related to use tiles. Convenient to feel that may, at first glance, a little lost.
As regards the behavior of the device, we can not talk here exemplary reactivity or even melt foolproof. The chipsethouse, which must support effective but also heavy overcoat Emotion UI, still can not compete with chips all-terrain as Snapdragon S800/801. This is true both in theory, given the results of benchmarks , and in practice, since the delays / snags are certainly light, but too regular (using the keyboard, scrolling a web page, between the reception desks ...).
Nothing insurmountable, no, but compared to competitors with an infallible reactivity, necessarily notice a difference. The architecture developed by the manufacturer still deserves some improvements to a faultless and deliver devices with clean hands. Note that the heating problem found on its predecessor is no longer, or rather that it is better controlled. Back sometimes slightly warm, "normally" shall we say, when, for example, the APN is used one time in photo or video mode. But nothing alarming.
Multimedia
We note still some delays on micro-gourmet 3D games when the amount of items to be displayed is huge, like Real Racing 3 races with more than 20 vehicles, without unduly interfering with the player. If Again, we are not in the graphic finesse products under Qualcomm Snapdragon chip 800/801 (absent effects and elements less refined textures ...), the key is there.
The audio performance of the phone we have, how to say ... impressed. The headphone jack, the output level is high, which can power virtually all types of headphones and headsets. The distortion is very low, the dynamic range of good quality, as the channel separation. DTS is extremely well run, not distorting the musical signal. A point unfortunately found on most smartphones.
Integrated speaker is placed at the rear of the terminal and is, hence, a bit muffled when placed on the back.However, it appears very powerful. Not without saturation when pushing the volume up, this speaker offers a balanced report, warm.
Nothing to say on the side video player, it is able to decrypt any format and properly display movies in 1080p.
Photo
A pro photo pocket, this P7 Ascend? Say no more than he is doing well, but it does not shine in all circumstances. We did not in fact made by the most outstanding in the industry, contrary to what led to speculation Huawei during the presentation of the phone ... The general behavior of the NPC appears rather swift in the development, taking photographs (single or burst) and saving a photo or video. As for the interface itself, it offers quick access to all options, photo as video, without being wacky or even revolutionary graphically or ergonomically, it is content to be very affordable, feature rich, and easy to . use 13 megapixel sensor of the Ascend P7 comes from the Sony catalog - this is probably one of the Xperia Z The optical wide-angle (28 mm) open at f / 2.0.. However, Huawei away quickly rendering the Xperia Z, since the firm does not opt for an edge enhancement algorithm, unlike Sony, but for the application of a smoothing which, in lighting conditions average, slightly hide a grain present exponentially as the light fades. Under good lighting conditions, the result offers a dive quality and sharpness almost always go, even if you move slightly. In contrast, white balance is slightly to the ground. The image drift irrevocably to yellow, orange or red depending on the lighting conditions and regardless of the manual settings that are applied (even if they lessen a little trend). In low light conditions, the sensor seems to behave on the mobile screen like the Samsung Galaxy S5 or G2 LG , namely that delivers a report inglorious, just ok. Rendering front sensor is much more significant than that offered 90% of smartphones available on the market today. It delivers a very satisfying indeed made, let alone taking into account its use: the self-portraits taken (of excellent quality for the money and for the sector) and video conversations, with a fluid video mode without significant and rather tolerant even in low light discomfort. Taking pictures grouped in panorama mode is very simple and is built in 3 taken the smartphone triggered when the user is in the right position / angle / orientation. Its main camera on the back, is generally worse than than most competing smartphones sensor 13 Megapixels or more. It remains a very correct APN, with good sharpness and good reactivity in use, but a fairly poor performance in low light and white balance perfectible.However, snags here to find self-portraits form a Holy Grail. Maybe Huawei he too sought to impress his world on the front sensor; therefore result in a slightly unbalanced between the sensor before offered its amazing smartphone and its main APN.

Autonomy
To do well, and do it well, a smartphone, let alone high-end, must offer a range capable of supporting a fairly intensive daily use. Unfortunately, not P7 keeps its promises. It is certainly better than its predecessor (the opposite would have been difficult ...), but the battery management is not his strong point. Heavy home user associated with the architecture still perfectible processor interface that the P7 does not go with good ammunition to carry the front of autonomy. 's (non-removable) battery 2500 mAh (2600 mAh for GS4 , 2800 mAh for GS5, 3200 mAh for Xperia Z2) slipped into this smartphone is not a miracle. Thus, on the ground, the camera takes a good day with moderate use, or "normal". But with a slightly more intensive (multimedia, GPS, notifications use push ), it happens that the P7 lose all its energy before the sun sets. We measured raw time 10:30 on our dedicated application. This is not catastrophic, but it is not offered under this G2, GS5, Z2 and Xperia One M8, the tenors of the premium segment.Even Wiko Rainbow, our last reference "good price / quality ratio" pass the bar 14h. Note the presence of an "energy saving" mode, always handy when there is little battery and charging n is not for now. The mode disables all energy functions and allows the phone to stay awake a few hours even though the load fell below 10%.

Multimedia
Fortunately, despite a chipset still perfectible, P7 Accent offers quite satisfactory experience video games. He can count on the combination of chip Kirin 910T and its iGPU Mali-450 MP4 to display pretty smoothly all titles the Play Store.
We note still some delays on micro-gourmet 3D games when the amount of items to be displayed is huge, like Real Racing 3 races with more than 20 vehicles, without unduly interfering with the player.

Highlights
- Design / finish.
- Well and good screen.
- Pleasant user interface.
- Photo rendering satisfactory overall, except in low light.
Weaknesses
- Regular lack of fluidity and responsiveness.
- Autonomy too just for a mobile phone for multimedia enthusiasts mobility.
Conclusion
The Ascend P7 is not the best smartphone in the market. On some points, such as autonomy, it does not compete with mobile devices references. However, Huawei birth here a stylish device, the fine finish.Pleasant to use daily - except some slowdowns observed - the P7 offers two interesting picture sensors.Depending on your priorities, do not hesitate to compare the LG G2 and Google Nexus 5, located at the same price level.
