Huawei Ascend D2 official
 

to indicate. And here at CES 2013, the company's finally formally introduced the Ascend D2, referred to by company Chairman Richard Yu as the "dream phone." Its top shelf specs -- 5-inch 1080p display, quad-core 1.5GHz K3V3 CPU, Android Jelly Bean, 13-megapixel rear camera and 3,000mAh battery -- certainly merit that distinction, but as pie in the sky smartphone ambitions go, its 6.1-inch stablemate, the Ascend Mate, takes the cake.

But back to the Ascend 2. The aforementioned display panel boasts 443 ppi and a 1,080 x 1,920 resolution. As for the camera, the 13-megapixel shooter has an f/2.2 aperture, a 5P lens and a hybrid IR filter. Audio-wise, "super hands free" will allow you to talk to the device (and hear the conversation) up to 2 meters away. It has a whopping 3,000 mAH battery in it and apparently recharges 25 percent faster than the Galaxy SIII. The Ascend 2 is both dustproof and waterproof -- Huawei's Richard Yu even dropped the phone on stage to demonstrate its durability.

The Ascend 2 will launch next month. No word on pricing and the exact date just yet, but we'll update you with more details as we get them.
