Huawei Y300 unveiled

Huawei's newest budget droid brings together Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean", a dual-core processor and a 4-inch display. The phone is expect to be sold at around $250/£190 which is awesome value for money. Design wise the device is essentially a rectangle with rounded corners with three capacitive buttons below the display.

Specs, include a 4-inch WVGA resolution display (480x800), powered by a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz with 512MB of RAM. Camera's on the device haven't been specified, internal storage is at 4GB and can presumably be expanded by MicroSD card.

As the phone presents good value for money, I'd expect it to sell well in the UK and the US. Especially since it has the newest version of Android aboard and a dual-core processor which should do those who are into mobile gaming.

Huawei has revealed a new set of budget friendly droids the G330 and G600. The G330 is more friendly being priced at £155 while the G600 offers better specs for a price of around £235. Both these phones run Ice Cream Sandwich, dual-core processors and pretty good specs for the money you are paying.

Huawei D Quad and D Quad XL to launch late August...

After countless delays, Huawei's D Quad and D Quad XL android smartphones are finally going to officially launch later this month. Having trouble spotting differences? The D Quad XL sports a larger 2600mAh battery and is thicker than the D Quad.

Besides the difference in battery, both pack a 4.5-inch display with 720p HD resolution (720x1280), powered by Huawei's own K3V2 quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 1GB of RAM. Camera's on both devices include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and on the front a 1.3-megapixel camera for video calling. Internal memory is at 8GB but can be expanded by using a MicroSD card, the battery capacity is 1800mAh in the D Quad and 2600mAh in the D Quad XL, however both phones run Android 4.0.

Cricket now offering contract-free Huawei Ascend Q...

The United States network, Cricket is now offering the Huawei Ascend Q for a pre-pay price of $140 or on contract $55 (Unlimited mins, texts and data). The phone itself is a entry-level/budget Android handset but may be good for text-aholics as it does come with a QWERTY keyboard.

The Ascend Q packs a 3.2-inch HVGA (320x480) display, powered by a single-core processor clocked at 800MHz with 512MB of RAM. Cameras on device includes a 3.2-megapixel rear-facing camera and no front-facing camera. Internal memory is 2GB and can be expanded using the MicroSD card slot by up to 32GB (4GB card is included with phone). The device runs Android 2.3 which was expected by myself given the specs. 

Huawei announces MediaPad 7 Lite tablet...

After Huawei released the advert for their presumably very expensive MediaPad 10 FHD tablet, they've taken the time today to announce the MediaPad 7 Lite which you could probably guess is a 7-inch tablet and will most likely compete with the Nexus 7.

Features that distinguish it from the Nexus 7 is the device's aluminium unibody design, and the fact that the device has both front-facing and rear-facing cameras and also has 3G connectivity. The device seems to be running Android 4.0 now but I expect that Huawei will change that when they announce the full specs and pricing in the future.

Huawei releases advert for Huawei MediaPad 10...

Huawei has a iPad beater on their hands. The MediaPad 10 is very very impressive not just specs wise. It is only 8.8mm thick beating the iPad 3 by 0.6mm. The tablet features a aluminium back panel which is very nice, the device weighs 598 grams which is significantly less than the iPad. The tablet also features a Asus like keyboard dock, which makes the device look like a netbook.

On to the specs! We have a full HD (1200x1920) 10.1-inch IPS display, (your already drooling aren't you?) powered by Huawei's own quad-core processor with a 16 core GPU and 2GB of RAM, the device has 8GB of storage which isn't that good, but Huawei offers 120G of cloud storage (probably meant GB) and the device has a MicroSD card slot which can support up 32GB. The device's battery capacity hasn't yet been disclosed but I'd expect it to be over the 10,000 mark.

Now for the advert:

T-Mobile USA introduce Huawei MyTouch and MyTouch Q

T-Mobile USA has unveiled two new android devices, namely the MyTouch and MyTouch Q. These two devices are literally twins besides the MyTouchQ's physical keyboard which defines them apart. Either way, both are available through T-Mobile for $49.99 on a two year contract (after a $50 rebate).

Both devices have the same specs, and they're as follows. Both pack a 4-inch WVGA (480x800) display, powered by a single-core 1.4GHz processor with 1GB of RAM. Both devices have two cameras aboard one 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling. Both have 4GB of internal storage with the option to expand by MicroSD (up to 32GB), they run on Android 2.3 and have a battery capacity of 1400mAh which should see about one and a half days (depending on usage)

Huawei Ascend G330 leaks...

Huawei has a surprise for us in future as today's leak suggests they are bringing a new mid-range Android smartphone to the market. In usual Huawei fashion, this device brings fairly good specs but  probably won't retail for much when it is officially released by them or carrier

So what have we got to look forward to? Well, the G330 packs a 4-inch WVGA (480x800), powered by a dual-core Qualcomm processor (MSM8225) clocked at 1GHz with 512MB of RAM. The device has two cameras, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a front-facing camera for video calling. It has 4GB of internal storage but nothing has been said about a MicroSD card slot but the G330 does run on Android 4.0.


Huawei have themselves a great device, and most likely at a great price as we are yet to hear a price from anywhere, I'd suggest around £150-200, given that the Huawei G300 with the 4-inch, 1GHz processor and 5MP camera retailed for £100 at Vodafone.

HTC's WP8 roadmap leaked...

One X with WP8 start screen

With HTC, Samsung, Nokia and Huawei being the first manufacturers to bring the new version of the OS to us, we were all waiting for a sign of what these devices will feature and look like. Well, we didn't have to hold our breaths for long as TheVerge has been given HTC's road map with all of HTC's upcoming Windows Phone 8 devices and boy are we in for a treat!

The first being the One X of WP8 named the "Zenith" sporting a 4.7-inch Super LCD2 display and being powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera.

The second being called the "Accord", this device will feature a 4.3-inch Super LCD2 display and will be powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and again features a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera.

And last but not least, the "Rio", features a 4-inch WVGA (480x800) resolution display, powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and features a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera.

Huawei Ascend P1

Huawei have anounced the availability of their super slim Ascend P1 smartphone, their announcement tells us that the device will launch in May in Australia, Taiwan and Hong Kong, it will then launch in Europe around Summer time.

I am personally looking forward to seeing this device because of it's mind blowing 7.7mm thickness! other than that, the device sports a 4.3 inch qHD AMOLED screen, powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz processor with a rear facing 8MP camera and 1.3MP front facing camera for video calling.

The device has a 1,670mAh battery which seems to be a very low capacity baring in mind the specs of the device, which will ultimately mean that battery life is rubbish.

Do you think 7.7mm is too thin? or just right?
