Huawei Ascend P6, the long rumored and teased smartphone from the Chinese mobile phone maker, is now official, claiming the title of world’s thinnest Android handset, courtesy of a 6.18mm thick body.

The handset was spotted in a series of leaked hands-on photos only a few hours before its official unveiling in London, and is set to arrive on the market before the end of the month, with China receiving it first. However, the smartphone will make an international debut, and the first European countries it is aimed at will receive it starting with July, Huawei announced. Just as previously suggested, the new device will land on the market with a 4.7-inch HD display, while being powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor paired with 2GB of RAM. The specifications list of the new mobile phone also includes an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back with BSI sensor, paired with a 5MP front camera for making video calls. Furthermore, the handset lands on shelves with a 2000mAh battery inside, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, and Huawei’s Emotion UI loaded on top.

The user interface also sports an updated Uni-Home, as well as the vendor's Me Widget, MagicTouch, and SmartReading, and features such as panoramic shoot, facial recognition, and Airshare. Furthermore, Ascend P6 has the company’s IMAGEsmart software packed inside, with photo-editing capabilities for all users to enjoy. “The Huawei Ascend P6 is a star among smartphones with its industry-leading design, high-quality camera, and intuitive user interface, Huawei’s proprietary Emotion UI,” said Richard Yu, chief executive officer, Huawei Consumer Business Group.

“Building on the success of our Ascend P series of fashion smartphones, the HUAWEI Ascend P6 provides unsurpassed technology and a design that is simply stunning.” When launched in Europe, the device is expected to be available through Vodafone, Telefonica, Orange, H3G, O2, Carphone Warehouse, TalkTalk, Media Markt & Saturn, TIM, and online via Amazon and CDiscount.
