In the past CES 2013, Huawei produced two heavyweight products Ascend Mate and Ascend D2 Previous articles We have already introduced Ascend Mate, a 6.1 inch monster with large screen, aiming at the cross field of tablet phones. The latter Ascend D2 is undoubtedly aimed at the general public. There are more and more 5-inch 1080P models. By comparing with HTC Droid DNA, let's see how Huawei's flagship flagship product is.
screen
In fact, through the previous OPPO Find5 and ZTE Nubia Z5, we can find that the 5-inch screen has become a "barrier", which means that manufacturers have unanimously regarded the 5-inch screen as the maximum limit of mobile phone screens. If the size is increased further, it will exceed the scope of mobile phones and enter the ranks of tablet phones. On the one hand, the technology of upstream panel manufacturers may need to be improved to reduce 1080P to less than 5 inches, and on the other hand, the user experience. There is no doubt that the visual experience of large screen is very good.
As for the screen display effect of Ascend Mate and Droid DNA, it can be said that there is almost no difference. The 440+PPI makes the screen display very delicate. The color reproduction and visual angle are extremely excellent. Since the panel supplier is likely to be the same (Sharp), you should not expect any big difference in the display effect.
Appearance design
Let's take a look at the three-dimensional dimensions of the two, Droid DNA ：140.9 x 70.6 x 9.7 mm， Huawei Ascend D2: 140 x 71 x 9.4 mm. After data comparison, it can be found that if the difference of a few tenths of a millimeter is ignored, the 3D dimensions of the two are almost the same. So you don't have to worry about which is bigger, which is smaller, and which is more portable. The back of the fuselage adopts an arc design, that is, it is slightly thicker in the middle and then gradually thinner towards the side of the fuselage.

In terms of weight, there is a big difference between the two. HTC Droid DNA is only 140g, while Huawei Ascend D2 weighs 170g. The reason is also very obvious. Huawei D2 adopts the design of a metal side frame. Although it increases the weight, it has a better texture of materials. Compared with Droid DNA's carbonate polyester Huawei D2, it seems to be a bit more upscale.
In addition, I have to complain that the power/unlock button of Droid DNA is located in the top center. It is a bit difficult to wake up the screen by pressing this power button first, and then I have to immediately slide a circle from the bottom up to unlock (the unlocking method of HTC Sense). This makes the operation feel awkward and the user experience is poor. Huawei D2 has obviously noticed this in its design, and has designed the power key to the side of the body, so that it can easily touch the power key to unlock the phone while holding it.

system
Both are equipped with Android 4.1, Ascend D2 uses Huawei's own Emotion UI, and Droid DNA is equipped with HTC Sense 4+ As Huawei's Emotion UI is still in its infancy, it needs more accumulation. The Sense interface is HTC's own customized Android interface, which has been operating for a long time, and has accumulated many achievements in optimization and interface beautification design. Therefore, in this regard, the author prefers the HTC Sense interface.
Processor, storage capacity
Droid DNA has a Qualcomm APQ 8064 quad core SoC, which uses Qualcomm's own Krait architecture designed close to A15 architecture. On the other hand, Huawei D2 still uses the quad core HiSilicon K3V2 with a 40nm A9 architecture. In addition, considering that HiSilicon processors are still at the edge of the mobile processor field, Huawei is the only manufacturer that uses HiSilicon processors. Therefore, APP and games are less optimized for HiSilicon. So in terms of processor, the author thinks Droid DNA wins.
In terms of storage, the HTC Droid DNA has only 16G version and no microSD card slot expansion capacity due to the relationship between the operator, leaving 11G for users after the system is occupied. Huawei D2 has a built-in 32G capacity and supports microSD expansion. In this regard, Huawei D2 is more user-friendly.
camera

The quality of smart phone camera has been developing rapidly. In 2012, the mainstream is 8 million pixels, but in 2013, 13 million pixels will be popularized. Huawei D2 is using a 1300 pixel main camera and a 1.3 million pixel front camera. The Droid DNA is still an 8 megapixel main camera with a 2.1 megapixel front camera. The actual shooting effect can only be determined after the actual machine is obtained, but according to the data, Huawei D2 wins.
Battery life
The Droid DNA non removable battery has a capacity of 2020mAh. During the initial test, we considered that the 5-inch 1080P screen might consume more power, and expressed concern about the endurance. However, one day of normal use after the actual test is enough. Huawei D2 has a 3000mAh battery with a larger capacity. Although the process of the processor lags behind, it will consume a little power. However, considering the large battery capacity, we still remain confident about the endurance of D2.
summary
Huawei Ascend D2 is superior in storage capacity, camera capacity and battery capacity. In terms of design and body materials, D2 is more advanced. Of course, we also find that Huawei D2 is slightly inferior in terms of processors, and the price of D2 3990 yuan is not cheap.
