The Huawei Ascend G628 was an ambitious mid-range smartphone that never reached the market despite its promising specifications. Initially expected in 2015’s third quarter, it featured a sleek design, a 5-inch IPS LCD display, and a capable Mediatek MT6752 octa-core processor, suggesting that Huawei intended it to compete in the growing mid-tier Android segment.
Although ultimately cancelled, the Huawei Ascend G628 reflected Huawei’s design and performance philosophy at the time — delivering solid hardware, smooth performance under Android 4.4 KitKat, and a focus on affordability.
