Huawei Ascend Mate 2 now available at WIND Mobile

Tomorrow, Wind Mobile will launch Huawei’s Ascend Mate 2 smartphone. First shown off at CES 2014 this past January, the Ascend Mate 2 is notable for its massive 3900 mAh battery, which Huawei claims can go for 60 hours — or two and a half days — on a single charge.

At CES, Huawei made a big point of the fact that this phone’s ability to charge other devices. Though there hasn’t been much mention of this feature for the North American model, a quick glance at the specs on the US site reveals that the phone is definitely reverse charging capable as long as you have the AF16 cable accessory.

Under the hood you’re looking at a quad-core 1.6 GHz Snapdragon 400 chipset.
