Chinese telecom equipment giant, Huawei has officially launched its large screen phablet in the Indian market at a price point of Rs. 24,900.

The device will be available at online stores and retail outlets in Crystal Black and Pure White colours.

The phone was listed online on ecommerce website Flipkart.com, a few days back, with Rs. 28,990 as the price for this device, however the listing was removed later.

Huawei had first showcased the Ascend Mate at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2013. The Ascend Mate is powered by a Huawei Hi-Silicon quad-core 1.5GHz processor and has 2GB of RAM. It is powered by a 4,050 mAh battery. The smartphone runs Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) with Huawei's Emotion UI layer on top. It has an 8-megapixel autofocus shooter at the rear and a 1-megapixel front camera for capturing self-images and video chat. The phone offers internal storage of 8GB expandable up to 32GB via microSD card.

Huawei claims that the phone's battery charges faster compared to other devices and saves 30 percent of battery charging time. One can also use the phone as a power bank to charge other devices through a USB On-the-go cable.
