One of the largest Android smartphones available on the market, the Huawei Ascend Mate is now available for purchase at Vodafone UK.

The phablet is available for free on contracts starting at £25 ($38/€29) a month. Unfortunately for those who don’t want to commit to a long-term contract, the Ascend Mate is not available on PAYG (pay as you go) for the moment.

Huawei Ascend Mate comes with a huge 6.1-inch IPS+ LCD capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720 x 1280 pixels) resolution and features Corning Gorilla Glass coating.

The phone is powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, integrated with Huawei’s Emotion user interface.

On the inside, the Ascend Mate packs a 1.5 quad-core Huawei K3V2 processor, 2GB of RAM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
