It comes with 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD(540x960 pixels) display with Gorilla Glass 2, 4GB internal storage (expandable up to 32GB), 8-megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash and a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera. The Huawei Ascend P1 runs the dated Android 4.0 operating system and is powered by a 1670mAh battery.
The phone was first showcased at CES 2012 and is being made available almost after a year and a half in the Indian market.
The LTE version of the Ascend P1 was unveiled by Airtel in October 2012 which was said to be India's first LTE-TDD smartphone. Airtel had said that the phone would be specially equipped to use Circuit Switched Voice Fall Back technology to support voice calls over 3G, as under the current 4G license, Airtel can only provide 4G data services. However, the phone is still not widely available.
