The observation is between two very influential Phablets. The most prevalent resemblence between these devices is that they are made by China based companies. Both the companies are Brand-new and are trying to authorize themselves in the Smartphone market, which already has tough clashes.
Both the companies, however have been lucrative in endowing themselves as crowd-pleasing Smartphone companies. You cannot underestimate the two devices just because they arise from the market of China. This in fact is a very positive aspect which will benefit many people. The prices will drop down immensely and Smartphone will become affordable for many.
The race of Smartphones in global market will certainly help many people who till now were not able to buy Smartphone because of the sky high prices. The companies based in China would make sure that buying a Smartphone won’t put a hole in your pockets.
Another clear cut difference between the two devices is that Huawei is bigger in size by 0.6. This gives Huawei a plus point in the very first place. Talking about resolution, K900 wins the race because it is much better. It has a full HD 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution and 400 pixel density. The color rendering is also very exquisite. Huawei Ascend Mate has got HD 720p display.
K900 has got another edge over Huawei and that is the Gorilla glass coating on the display of K900 which preserves it from exterior damage and scratches. Smartphone lovers enjoy ample screen very much. Most of the companies work hard to win this race by trying to make the largest screen and between the above mentioned companies K900 surely beats others.
Huawei is using in-home K3V2 SoC that supports quad Cortex A9 cores. It also has a backup of 16 core Super GPU and 64 bit memory system. It is one of te best chip available in the market. Right now Cortex A15 is getting more appreciated but we cannot dismiss from mind that Cortex A9 is also exceptionally well.
Cortex A15 dries up the battery rapidly. Proper precautions are to be taken, else it would have a negative effect on the battery life, which would shorten the battery life. Huawei is engaged in working on ARM Cortex A15 based K3V3 SoC.
On the other hand Lenovo K900 is using Intel Atom Z2580 SoC that ensures accelerated multi-tasking. It is only because of Hyper-threading technology that we can experience better multi-tasking experience.Just like in laptops and desktops we use Turbo Boost technology Intel use in Core ‘i’ series processors.
Atom Z2580 Clover Trail+ is yet to be tested at a larger level. Both of them have got 2 GB RAM. There is not much to debate about the two, but Huawei Ascend Mate has slight edge over the other one. Lenovo K900 sports 13 MP rear facing camera. The camera sensor is made by Sony. It’s actually the BSI sensor that shoots excellent images in low-light condition. Dual LED flash is there as well. Front facing 2 MP cameras are very useful for video chatting. On the other hand, Huawei shows off 8 MP cameras that also records full HD 1080p video. Following are the features of Huawei Ascend Mate and Lenovo:

Verdict: Its a pretty close fight between the two of them but the Lenovo offering takes the cake with its aluminium body and a better brand image. The Huawei offering is a tad too big in terms of size and is not really pocketable. If you have Rs 25,000 and are planning to buy a phablet, the Lenovo K900 is the one you should be looking forward to.
