A dual-core 1.5 GHz TI OMAP 4460 chip paired with a PowerVR SGX540 GPU handles the everyday load here, backed by 1 GB of RAM. That's modest by today's standards but was reasonable for its time. The 4.5-inch IPS+ LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 with a sharp ~326 ppi density, so text and images stay crisp even on a smaller panel.

On the camera side, you get an 8 MP rear shooter with autofocus and dual-LED flash, capable of 1080p video capture, plus a 1.3 MP front camera for basic video calls. Storage sits at 8 GB (5.8 GB usable) with microSD support up to 32 GB, and a 1800 mAh battery keeps things running. Huawei Ascend D1 price in Malaysia starts from RM1055.

It ships with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, with Huawei having planned an upgrade path to 4.2 Jelly Bean. At 132g and 8.9mm thick, it's a compact, light handset available only in Black.
