**Hands-On Review: Huawei Ascend P1**

The Huawei Ascend P1 is an Android smartphone that offers impressive performance, sleek design, and advanced features at an affordable price point of around 13,000 rupees. In this review, we put the device through its paces to see how it performs in various aspects.

**Internet Browsing Experience**

Let's quickly jump into the internet browser and explore the mobile site of our favorite website, .in. The mobile site is nice and responsive, with kinetic scrolling that's very smooth even when the website isn't fully loaded. We can easily scroll through the content and navigate to any required post without issues. Switching from portrait mode to landscape mode also happens seamlessly, showcasing the browser's efficiency on this device.

The Huawei Ascend P1 features multi-touch pains to zoom, which is also very smooth and responsive. This allows for a seamless browsing experience with the device's 3.8-inch display. The text is clear and vivid, making it easy to read even in bright lighting conditions. Flash content loads quickly without any issues, and we can enjoy flash videos without any problems.

**Multimedia Capabilities**

We're impressed with the multimedia capabilities of this device, particularly with regards to its display. The screen is clear and vibrant, making it perfect for watching videos or browsing the internet. Audio quality from the speaker is loud and clear, while the microphone is also excellent, making it ideal for video calls or recording audio.

The camera on this device is another standout feature. It captures high-quality 720p video and has a 5-megapixel primary sensor. We're happy to show off some sample footage of the camera's capabilities later in the review. Overall, we're very happy with the multimedia performance of this device.

**Rooting and Custom ROMs**

One notable feature of this device is its ease of rooting. The process is simple and doesn't require any advanced technical knowledge. We've installed Cogen mod on this device, which significantly improves its performance. By booting up the device in recovery mode and installing Cogen mod, we're able to unlock a range of new features and improve the overall user experience.

**Benchmark Scores**

We ran a full benchmark test using Quadrant, an app that measures smartphone performance. The results show a significant improvement over the stock Android score, with a final score of around 1550. This is a notable increase in performance compared to the original device, demonstrating the effectiveness of Cogen mod in enhancing the user experience.

**Additional Features**

The Huawei Ascend P1 also features an excellent lock screen, complete with a "Nexus S Type" theme that changes each time you lock your device. This adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall design of the device. We're pleased with the various software options available on this device.

**Gaming Performance**

We loaded up Raging Thunder, an action-packed mobile game, to test the device's gaming capabilities. The result is smooth performance without any lag or hiccups. This makes it perfect for gamers who want a reliable and responsive smartphone.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, we're thoroughly impressed with the Huawei Ascend P1. With its impressive performance, sleek design, and advanced features, this device is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a smartphone in the 13,000 rupee price range. We highly recommend it to those seeking a reliable and feature-packed Android smartphone.

**Recommendation**

The Huawei Ascend P1 is perfect for:

* Anyone looking for a smartphone with impressive performance

* Those who want advanced features like rooting and custom ROMs

* Gamers who need a reliable and responsive device

* Anyone seeking a high-quality display and multimedia capabilities
