The Huawei Ascend P6, one of the best selfie phones of 2013, now has a “mini” – meet the just-launched Huawei Ascend G6. The G6 takes after the slim and svelte profile of the P6, including its much-to-brag-about selfie camera, but brings down the price.

Here it is:

Notable features of the G6

  • 10 levels of Face Beautification, adjust accordingly.
  • 88 degree wide angle lens of the front camera, so more of your friend can get in the fun. A monopod can only increase the good times.
  • Selfie preview – you can see how you look before you key in that shutter.
  • Voice Photo function, allowing you to save photos with ten second audio included. Now, pouring through albums will never be boring with voiced comments and names thrown in.
  • As opposed to the fads of Rio-nic bursting bright colors, the Huawei Ascend G6 comes in classy and classic subdued tones, including black with light gunmetal grey or rose gold highlights, and white with pink or champagne gold highlights.
  • Comes with an up to 30% power saving feature, so you can get more things done and have more fun.
  • The G6 comes with Huawei’s own Emotion UI 2.0 overlay that’s intuitive and non-techie-looking, and allows you access to over 1,000 online themes.
