T-Mobile’s upcoming myTouch QWERTY gets certified, to be released by the end of May?
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 21, 2012 3 Comments">3
T-Mobile’s myTouch line has proven very popular over the years, especially due to the devices’ features, but also thanks to the quality to price ratio they delivered. Started way back in 2009, with the myTouch 3G that ran Android 1.5 Cupcake (!), the series has had its latest revamp in the fall of 2011, in the form of the myTouch Q, running Gingerbread. Although more and more tech users are looking towards high-end devices these days, especially in the US, it seems that T-Mo will continue to push in the entry-level niche. Not one, but two myTouch phones will be …
Huawei is aiming high with research focusing on touch-free mobile technology and infinite cloud storage
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 30, 2012 0 Comments">0
Virtually unknown in the United States and Europe until last year, Huawei has certainly stepped up its game lately, announcing the release of the world’s thinnest smartphone, the Ascend P1 S and the most powerful handheld worldwide, the Ascend D Quad, powered by the company’s own quad-core processor. However, the Chinese electronics company seems to really be aiming high (and wide), with recent research and development concentrated on touch-free technology. “We are focused on disruptive technology and taking interesting ideas and turning them into something exciting.” said John Roese, general manager for Huawei’s North American research and development center a …
Oppo teases 6.65 mm thick smartphone, to take the title of world’s thinnest in September
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 27, 2012 7 Comments">7
When many of today’s smartphones resemble each other in terms of design, and, to some extent, in terms of hardware and software, manufacturers clearly need some touches of originality here and there, just to differentiate their products. That’s why some phone makers are battling it out for the titles of “world’s most powerful”, “world’s thinnest”, or “world’s lightest” device. However, things change so quickly in the mobile business, that the average user risks getting even more confused when choosing a device based on these self-styled titles. Case in point: just a few months back, when Huawei unveiled the Ascend P1 S, the …
Huawei Ascend P1 launched in China for $475, other markets to follow soon
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 18, 2012 1 Comments">1
Even though it hasn’t been styled as the “world’s fastest smartphone”, like its cousin, the Ascend D Quad, the Huawei Ascend P1 Android-based phone has stirred up interest among technology enthusiasts ever since its official unveiling, back at CES. With a pretty snappy dual-core 1.5 GHz processor under its hood, as well as a very thin, slim and stylish body, the Ascend P1 looked like a decent device to fill that gap between mid-range and high-end devices. All this little guy needed was a fair price and a timely release. The first details about the phone’s availability pointed towards a …
Rumor: Google to sell Motorola’s hardware division to Huawei
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 12, 2012 8 Comments">8
Almost a year has passed after Google had announced plans to acquire Motorola Mobility and the deal is still not sealed, with Chinese regulators delaying the whole shenanigan. However, it’s pretty obvious that the deal will become official and final in the near future, so our focus is now on a different aspect of the transaction. And that is the actual reason (or reasons) why Google has paid $12.5 billion for buying a company that didn’t do very well in recent years and seemed to be going on a slow, but sure road to bankruptcy. Rumors and speculations have been …
The “world’s fastest smartphone” coming to UK, we just don’t know when
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 11, 2012 4 Comments">4
Oy, are there any British blokes around here who were intrigued about the Huawei Ascend D Quad, but were worried the smartphone might not come to the UK anytime soon? If there are, they should be glad to hear that the super-phone, dubbed by Huawei “the world’s fastest smartphone”, has just been officially confirmed for a British release. Unfortunately, while Huawei officials contacted by Pocket-Lint said that the gadget will “absolutely” see the light of day in the United Kingdom, they avoided to specify an exact release date (or an estimated one, for that matter). Huawei’s people only stated that we will be …
Huawei and ZTE want to ship 100 million smartphones in 2012
by Ankit Banerjee on Apr 04, 2012 0 Comments">0
Huawei and ZTE, two very popular manufacturers in their own Chinese market, have been relative unknown in the world smartphone arena, until the beginning of this year. After some impressive demonstrations at this year’s Mobile World Congress, both companies are hoping to back up the “talk” with equally impressive sales figures. More precisely, Huawei and ZTE plan to ship a combined 100 million smartphones this year. This is a huge jump in their shipping targets from 2011, with a shift from 16 million to 60 million for Huawei, and from 11 million to 40 million for ZTE. In the process, …
Qualcomm’s dual-core S4 beats Huawei’s quad-core K2V3 chip in GPU benchmark
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 02, 2012 7 Comments">7
The guys at Huawei made quite a stir at MWC earlier this year, when they announced the upcoming release of the Ascend D Quad XL, Huawei’s claim to the title of “world’s fastest smartphone”. While most of us weren’t exactly sold by their very bold statement, a benchmark leaked a couple of weeks ago seemed to confirm Huawei’s claims. The Basemark ES 2.0 Taiji scores at that time placed the Ascend D Quad XL, powered by the quad-core K2V3 chipset, in front of the Galaxy Note and the Asus Transformer Prime, which we all thought were the two most powerful …
Think LTE is fast? Huawei promises networks that are 20 times faster
by Mike Andrici on Mar 30, 2012 5 Comments">5
Although the blazing fast LTE is still quite far from becoming a widely-available technology, while LTE Advanced is even farther from reaching the consumer market, it doesn’t mean that engineers aren’t looking for ways to come up with even faster data speeds. On that note, Huawei recently announced that they have developed a wireless technology that will enable peak transfer rates of about 30Gbps. This technology is being referred to as “Beyond LTE”. While it is too soon to call it 5G technology, if the limited amount of specs Huawei have detailed for its “Beyond LTE” turn out to be …
Huawei-made QWERTY MyTouch seen, manhandled on video
by Bogdan Petrovan on Mar 29, 2012 1 Comments">1
A few weeks ago, we reported about T-Mobile’s two MyTouch phones that will be made by Huawei and are expected to come later in the year. The two mid-range devices, one of which features a slide-out keyboard, will supposedly run ICS and come with decent, although unimpressive specs. We’ve also seen a supposed picture of the slate model (non-QWERTY), which, although as blurry as they get, gave us an idea about how the new MyTouch devices will present themselves (just like the Nexus One, if you ask us). Now, Engadget finally offered us some quality information on the elusive phones …
Huawei Ascend P1 Gets Release-Date in China
by Ankit Banerjee on Mar 27, 2012 5 Comments">5
Up until recently there has been, what can be considered, as the Big Android Three – Samsung, HTC , and Motorola. They have been standing in relatively comfortable positions for what can be considered a long time in the mobile business. Whether they realize it or not , they are standing at the precipice, staring down at an absolute oncoming onslaught of seriously high quality Android Smartphone and tablet designs from the more middle tier companies for a very competitive price point. And the padfone. As I have witnessed on numerous occasions, Ice Cream Sandwich runs extremely well on a 1.5Ghz …
Report: Huawei Ascend D Quad shipping in July
by Bams Sadewo on Mar 22, 2012 8 Comments">8
Huawei has come forth with the release date of the Ascend D Quad smartphone. The quad-core device, which Huawei envisions as its bridgehead to the bustling Western markets, will only go into production this June, with a shipping date set for July. If the report from CNMO is accurate, this late debut will put the Huawei Ascend D Quad behind the other quad-core smartphones that will compete for mindshare and the consumer’s money. Two other Android flagship devices are coming out this summer, the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy S3. The former will come this April to the UK (and …
T-Mobile’s upcoming Huawei myTouch smartphone captured in the wild
by Mike Andrici on Mar 20, 2012 1 Comments">1
Back at the start of the month, we’ve covered Pockenow’s claim that T-Mobile has decided on Huawei as the manufacturer for the next smartphone in the mid-range T-Mobile myTouch series. Obviously, under these conditions, the leak of a couple of pics of the keyboard-less version (one with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard is also planned) is not exactly the most unexpected news. It is nice to catch a glimpse of the actual device though, as most couldn’t make much of the renders we had last time when we covered the subject. As it turns out, the myTouch Huawei smartphone looks a …
Eat that Nvidia! Huawei Ascend D Quad XL Fastest in the World, Says Benchmark
by Bams Sadewo on Mar 17, 2012 4 Comments">4
When Huawei took stage at MWC and introduced the Ascend D Quad XL as the fastest smartphone in the world, we weren’t entirely convinced by such a bold assertion, especially as it came from a manufacturer that used to mingle in the mid to lower class neighborhoods of Android city. But there might be some truth to Huawei’s claim, as the latest benchmark scores have revealed how Ascend D Quad XL trumped other smartphones in the speed department. The Huawei Ascend D Quad XL, which is powered by the company’s own K3V2 1.5GHz quad-core processor with 16 core GPU, narrowly …
Huawei Ascend D Quad XL Benchmarks Leaked: Is It Really the “World’s Fastest”?
by Matthew Sabatini on Feb 26, 2012 11 Comments">11
Richard Yu, chairman of Huawei devices, took the stage today (Sunday Feb 26) at Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2012, and made some pretty bold assertions and promises. More specifically, the Chairman of one of Android’s rising stars told us that the Ascend D Quad and Quad XL smartphones will be powered by a specially made quad-core chip from Huawei themselves called the K3V2. Not only did Huawei choose not to follow the crowd and put a Tegra 3 chip in their new devices, but they also claim that the Ascend D Quad and Quad XL are the “world’s fastest”. Although …
