The new Huawei phone runs on the primary OS Android v4.2.2 Jelly Bean, with the company's custom UI Emotion v1.6 and is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor with 2GB RAM and 8GB inbuilt memory (expandable up to 32GB).

Ascend P6 flaunts an 8.0-megapixel camera with flash support, BSI sensor, f/2.0 aperture and can record full HD (1920x1080p) videos. On the front side, it houses a 5.0-megapixel secondary camera with HD (720x1280p) video recording ability.

With a price-tag of sub-₹30,000, the new smartphone will compete mainly against MNC brands - LG's Google Nexus 4, Sony Xperia ZR and ZL series phones, Samsung's flagship 2012 model Galaxy S3, Apple iPhone 4 (16GB) and others.

Huawei Ascend P6 is reportedly priced ₹29,999. It is currently listed at multiple online stores - Flipkart, Saholic and Infibeam and is set to go on sale soon.
