The year 2016 has started on a good note in the Nigerian mobile industry, well, not because we already have new entrants into the smartphone market nor the expectations from existing players in the market but for the fact that we were at a bloggers round-table session organized by Huawei to announce the introduction of the Huawei G-Power smartphone.
I was surprised when I got the invitation and various thoughts and questions began to stroll into my head, among them are: what could be special about the new device? Is there a new marketing boss on board who wants to change the existing status quo? I stand to be corrected but it is a fact that the marketing team at Huawei Nigeria have been doing a really poor job, visit their office and you will see range of cool devices that customers hardly see or hear about. So in the end, maybe things are beginning to take a new shape, i made up my mind to attend.
Based on the premise for the name of the device, Huawei G-Power has a 4,000mAh battery expected to deliver extra hours of talk time and more juice to cater for IMs and other social networking needs of the users.
Battery capacity in smartphones among other features is a big deal if OEMs need to appeal to power bank carrying Nigerians. While the huge battery is not the breakthrough we have all longed for in smartphones, Huawei G-Power also called Huawei Y6 Pro has 4G LTE capability and is bringing in some battery technology like the fast charging which delivers 3 hours of talk time, up to 24 hours of idle time after a 10 minutes charge.
Huawei is not the first company to include Fast charging technology in mid-range devices, neither is it the first to deliver extra battery power but a 15 hours of internet browsing, 39 hours talk time as claimed by the company is a thing to pay attention to.
The Huawei G-Power with 5-inch IPS HD display was specifically designed and adapted for Africa and the Middle East market. Camera is pegged at 13-MegaPixel while the front camera sits at 5 MegaPixel, The device is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor with MediaTek’s chipset but not its own HiSilicon Kirin chipset. RAM size is 1GB with a 16GB built-in storage which is expandable to 128GB via an SD card.
These claims sounds really great for a mid-range device on paper, we will confirm all of these in the coming weeks when we do a full review.
The Huawei G-Power will be exclusively sold on Jumia

That’s a good startup for huawei this year. Can’t wait to see the review and truly confirm if the specification are as claimed.
Mr Wale thumbs up for the good job.
