According to CNET

Good

Incredibly thin
Highly customisable homescreens
Bright and bold display

Bad

Ridiculous port placement
Overheats to an alarming level
Some build quality concerns
Unimpressive performance from quad-core processor

Above is a quick run of Quadrant, since that’s one of the most popular tests, and it clearly isn’t doing too well in the quad-core category. Huawei has been making strides, their quad-core still can’t quite compete with many powerful dual-core devices.

The P6 comes running the latest version of Android, known as 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. You wouldn’t recognise it by looking though, as Huawei has plonked its Emotion user interface over the top.

Fairly unimpressive performance, the Ascend P6 isn’t going to excite those of you hankering after elite gadgets to fill your pockets. If design is more important than pure specs though, the P6’s ridiculously slim body will definitely appeal.
