Huawei isn’t going to let Samsung sit comfortably on its throne as the world’s phablet king. Per Engadget, the company announced on Monday that it will soon release the Ascend Mate 2, a sequel to the similarly massive Ascend Mate phablet that it first unleashed upon the world last year. Like its predecessor, the Ascend Mate 2 features a 6.1-inch display and a powerful 4,050 mAh battery that Huawei says you can use to actually recharge other smartphones. The Ascend Mate sequel is slightly slimmer than the original device at 9.5 millimeters thick and has a much improved 13-megapixel camera.
