The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 is a great phablet, you can read our full review here. Unfortunately not every can afford to pay the price for the Mate 7. For you who love big phones and have a smaller budget, Huawei GX1 is going to launch.

The Huawei GX1 comes with 6″ HD display, so you get a larger display, but the HD resolution instead of 2K or Full HD helps to keep the price down. Also it should increase battery life significantly.
