Quad-core processor. Android 4.0. The fastest phone in the world? That’s the claim Huawei is making about their brand new Ascend D Quad. These boastful statements are a fun PR ploy for launches, but their truthfulness is usually short-lived as bigger, better, faster, thinner, and whatever-elser devices seem to out-awesome their predessors on a daily [...]

Huawei isn’t the most popular Android manufacturer, but their Ascend D Quad line of phones are definitely going to garner some news bites out of Barcelona due to their claim of having created the “fastest smartphone ever”. That’s understandably a very subjective term, as they haven’t quite made it clear what metrics makes the phone [...]

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a good T-Mobile leak round these parts, but today may have changed that. Thanks to TMoNews, we now see a few devices that will soon be making their way to the carrier, as revealed in this accessory inventory list. We now have a more solid confirmation that the HTC [...]

Hot on the heels of its CES unveiling of the Huawei P1/S smartphones, Huawei looks to be following up with a 10.1 inch tablet at the next major trade event – Mobile World Congress. Russian outlet hi-tech.mail.ru have leaked photos of the device which has a slim and metal chassis. It may come with Android [...]

Huawei has a bad reputation for releasing phones only low-end devices. We mostly see them with carriers like Metro, Cricket or Boost Mobile. But the Chinese company in in the middle of transitioning to a high-end products market strategy. They will be competing with the big boys now, and are about to announce the Huawei [...]

Huawei, a manufacturer normally known for their budget to low-end Android handsets, is definitely coming out swinging in 2012. At this year’s CES, we’ve already seen, and gotten our hands-on with the Huawei Ascend P1 S. With a speedy dual-core TI 1.5GHz OMAP processor and stock Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, we were more than [...]

Huawei surprised us with their incredibly thin Ascend P1 S, which debuted at CES in early January. The phone manages to pack high-end specs including a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 8MP camera into a case that measures just 6.68mm thick. Despite a rather light 1800mAh battery, it’s the most impressive offering we have seen from [...]

We know Huawei has its bad reputation, but they have been improving their game lately. The Huawei Honor is one of their latest devices, and it has just passed through the FCC with AT&T bands. This device is currently available for Cricket (CDMA), but we have not seen another version of it hit the US. [...]

Huawei’s announcement of the uber-thin Ascend P1 S at CES wasn’t a fluke, according to remarks by device chairman Richard Yu. Speaking to TWICE, Wu revealed that Huawei will be introducing a “Diamond” series of smartphones at Mobile World Congress, devices that will surpass the hardware power of the Ascend P1 S. The news comes [...]

The ladies and gents at Huawei have announced that new series of MediaPad tablets are headed to store shelves soon. These don’t differ much from the original but they will be preloaded with Android 4.0. We imagine minor improvements were made internally but only on the configuration and layout side. – They’ve also announced the [...]

Note: The P1 is almost identical to the P1S except it’s a bit thicker at 7.69mm and has a weaker capacity battery at 1670mAh. The folks at Huawei were on hand at CES 2012 in Las Vegas to introduce to us the ultra slim and beautiful Huawei P1 and P1s. They’re the latest in a [...]

The battle for World’s Thinnest Smartphone continues, this time with Huawei announcing the Ascend P1 S and claiming that it bests every other smartphone in the world in belt size (6.68mm). For how long will it hold the title? We don’t know… it’d be lucky to survive the rest of CES at this rate, but [...]

It’s funny how even the prospect of Ice Cream Sandwich has the ability to triple a device’s desirability and that’s exactly the case with the Huawei MediaPad. The device was recently leaked from a Chinese website running an official build of Android 4.0.1, which doesn’t surprise us at all seeing the company officially released a [...]

The Huawei Ascend II will apparently be available online next week for US Cellular. The device is a mid-range follow-up to the original that doesn’t take many risks compared to the original. We’ve got a 3.5 inch display, a 5 megapixel camera and Android 2.3. This sequel might not be worth it to Ascend 1 [...]

We just received a save the date notice from Huawei for February 26th, 2012. That date and the location, Barcelona, coincides with Mobile World Congress, of course, and there they will be on hand to showcase their “smartest, fastest and most high-performing smartphone yet.” Their words, not ours. We’re not sure what Huawei is cooking [...]

I bet you didn’t see this coming. The Huawei Honor is the first Android smartphone to receive an update to Ice Cream Sandwich. Available now on the handset manufacturer’s website is a “demo-build” of Android 4.0 for all Honor owners to download. It’s a much quicker turnaround process than expected, and beats other manufacturers to [...]

Huawei’s just announced on their Facebook page that the T-Mobile Springboard is now available for sale. For $430 you can get an Android 3.0+ tablet with a 7 inch 1280×800 display, a 1.2GHz processor, 16GB of internal storage, WiFi N, Bluetooth 2.1, a 5 megapixel rear camera, a 1.3 megapixel front camera, HSPA+ 4G radios [...]

Guess who’s been to the gym? RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! This whole video is pretty funny but the gym growl really gets me. It’s all part of a Huawei Facebook contest that will tell you about after you watch. No talking, cell phones off, popcorn please, and please walk don’t run to emergency exits. We all know people [...]

While rumored release dates for the T-Mobile Springboard have continuously failed us as we approached each respective one, it looks like the rumored November 16th date is going to be it. Today, units of the Honeycomb tablet from Huawei began arriving in T-Mobile stores, meaning they could go on sale today if T-Mobile wanted them [...]

Remember when the T-Mobile Springboard, the magenta carriers version of Huawei’s MediaPad tablet, was supposed to launch yesterday, November 9th? It’s a good thing you didn’t, because it looks like the date has been quietly pushed back. The Honeycomb tablet is still listed as “coming soon” on TMo’s site. The Springboard’s landing page tells the [...]
