Mate S is Huawei’s Latest Flagship Phablet

Huawei Mate S has finally been made official at IFA 2015. The new smartphone is based on the Huawei Mate 7 but it improves on it with better specs and features.

Mate S comes with a display of 5.5-inch AMOLED display of 1080p resolution. The display is covered by a 2.5D Gorilla Glass 4. The phone uses a Force Touch sensor which enables the Knuckle control feature version 2.0. Only the Premium models of the Mate S will get the Force Touch display with added gestures. A fingerprint scanner is located at the back with a Mate 7 like implementation but is 2 times faster.

The new flagship phablet is powered by Huawei’s fastest SoC, the Kirin 935, which also powers the Honor 7 line. It is accompanied by 3GB of RAM and storage options starting with 32GB and going all the way up to 128GB. The phone runs on Android 5.1.1 with EMUI 3.1 on top.

The main camera features a 13MP sensor that supports Optical Image Stabilisation and improved low light photography thanks to the RGBW array and a dedicated image signal processor. The front camera is an 8MP shooter with a soft LED light. Both cameras can now utilize a professional camera mode with advanced controls.

The phone is 7.2mm thin and comes with only a 2,700mAh battery that is supposed to last a day, according to Huawei.
