China’s Huawei unveils 'world fastest smartphone' Ascend P2

China’s Huawei, the No 3 smartphone maker behind giants Samsung and Apple, unveiled on Sunday a new mobile, the Ascend P2, which it claims is the fastest in the world.

Sharp-cornered and thinner than a pencil at 8.4mm, the company said it can achieve speeds of 150Mbps, fast enough to download a two-hour high-definition movie in less than five minutes.

The mobile, which has a 4.7-inch, high-definition screen, has a powerful 1.5GHz quad-core processor and is able to use the fourth-generation high speed mobile networks being rolled out worldwide.
