It does seem to us as though the Huawei Ascend P1 has already arrived Stateside after being spotted over at Amazon with a price tag amounting to $450 a pop. The Huawei Ascend P1 will feature a 4.3” Super AMOLED display, and measures roughly 7.69mm thin to make it one extremely svelte smartphone device at this point in time. Just for the record, the Huawei Ascend P1 debuted at CES in 2012, and managed to jump through all the standard regulatory hurdles in May last year, and it is nice to see that it has finally arrived at its intended destination, that is, the US market, hitting Amazon from today onwards at $449.99 per unit.
At that particular price point, it would mean you will be able to purchase the smartphone in an unlocked format, where it will play nice on either AT&T or T-Mobile networks. Some of the other hardware specifications of the Huawei Ascend P1 include an 8-megapixel camera, a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on board and 5.1-channel Dolby Surround Sound support.

For those living in Europe and who are looking forward to getting their hands on the CES-announced Huawei Ascend P1, you might be in for a treat as it seems that Huawei will be giving the handset a little upgrade before it makes its full scale launch. According to Huawei, this upgrade will be giving the phone a more “premium” feel although we’re not sure exactly what they mean by that. However one thing is certain is that the phone will be getting a bump in its battery, changing it from the original 1,670mAh capacity to a slight larger one at 1,800mAh. We expect details of this overhaul will be revealed once it has been made, but as it stands the Ascend P1 is an Android 4.0 ICS handset with a 4.3” Super AMOLED display, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor with an 8MP rear-facing camera and a 1.3MP front-facing camera. Not exactly the most powerful phone we’ve seen, but with its hardware overhaul perhaps it might make it a more attractive purchase.
