#Ascend G6 LTE

People who bought and loved the Huawei Ascend P6 would be glad to know that a better but similarly designed Ascend G6 has been announced and should arrive in the Philippines soon. This 7.85mm thin mid-range smartphone from Huawei will retail for about Php15k (the P6 was around Php18+k) but comes with a Snapdragon 400 chip and LTE connectivity. The very light and thin profile is slightly similar to the footprint of the Ascend P6. The Ascend G6 follow the design but with some changes -- like smaller screen, thicker profile but a little lighter. It's also interesting to note that the Ascend G6 is packed with a Sony IMX134 f/2.0 sensor. It's been 6 months since OpenSignal released a State of LTE Report with the Philippines getting an average of 8.59Mbps. In terms of 4G availability, the Philippines ranked 72nd (out of 75) with 52.77% LTE coverage ( the percentage of the time that users can connect to a 4G network). This is a little better than the 44.8% LTE availability that the Philippines got back in November 2016.
