As the name suggests, the Huawei B199 features a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with 720p resolution. The device is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.6GHz, along with an Adreno 305 for graphics and 2GB RAM for better multitasking.
The optics front of Huawei B199 includes a 13-megapixel rear camera with flash, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling. The smartphone comes with a 16GB of in-built storage, and can be expanded. However, the storage expansion limit is not mentioned by the firm.
The connectivity options for the smartphone are not yet known; however, the smartphone is expected to include the standard 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options at the least. The smartphone additionally has a battery capacity of 3,000mAh.
Huawei B199's back panel is said to be covered with a metal coating. The dimensions and weight of the device are also not disclosed as of yet.
The firm recently announced the new Ascend Mate 2 4G, a refreshed version of the Ascend Mate phablet at CES 2014 bearing the same 6.1-inch HD IPS+ LCD display, but with an upgraded chipset, more built-in storage, and bigger front and rear cameras.
