Huawei Ascend Mate is suitable for those who can't afford Sony Xperia Z/ZL or SGN II & doesn't wanna compromise on Quality. Remember, Nexus 4 & Sony Xperia SP are Smartphones not Phablet. Also, HAM has 3 advantages over N4 & SXSP i.e. Micro SD Slot (N4 has only 16GB storage), Ability to move Apps to SD (not possible in SXSP) & massive Battery life.
you got only 3 advantages for it, too bad i can tell you more than 3 advantages in favor of Nexus 4
1. Superior Processor (Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon v/s Huawei K3V2 Quad-core Chipset @ 1.5 GHz.. absolutely no contest here Nexus wins)
2. Better Display quality (~318 ppi pixel density)
3. Better GPU ( Adreno 320 is better than Intel XMM6260)
4. Better brand value ( who want to shell out 25K on a Chinese handset.... certainly i will not)
5. Better Os (updates directly from Google)
6. Custom Rom and modes...make your device feels new every day (talk to me how may are available for Ascend Mate? )
7. Future proof network capability (DC-HSDPA, 42 Mbps; HSDPA, 21 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps)
8. better scratch proof capability with Corning Gorilla Glass 2.
Well Ascend Mate is a great phone and it just smokes Samsung Grand and like iterations from sammy on every aspect, But pricing is the only aspect going against it....Dear Huawei don't try to become HTC, be more sensible in pricing and you can be a good player in India.
