Huawei makes Honor official, forgets to mention its other virtues

Huawei makes Honor official, forgets to mention its other virtues

Posted on Sep 26, 2011 by MG3

Sure, we love it when phones and spec lists leak out into the wild, but there's nothing like an official announcement to set the record straight. When we last saw the Huawei Honor, it claimed to have a single-core 1.4GHz processor, a 4-inch FWVGA (854x480) capacitive screen, and a radio primed for European and Asian bands. The official word? It's got all of that, but it's also packing an 8 megapixel rear facing camera (2MP up front), 512MB of RAM (with 4G ROM memory, and expandable up to 32GB) and a hefty 1900mAh battery.

AT&T to release the Huawei Impulse 4G for $29.99

AT&T to release the Huawei Impulse 4G for $29.99

Posted on Sep 08, 2011 by MG1

AT&T has just announced a new smartphone called Huawei Impulse 4G, a low-end entry into Android and AT&T’s 4G market. The Impulse 4G will have a 3.8-inch screeen with 480×800 screen resolution, and running Android 2.2. It also has a 5 MP camera on the back with auto-focus, flash, and 720p video recording. Customers will be able to get their hands on this phone for $29.99 with the usual 2-year contract extension on Sept. 18.
Now, the Huawei Impulse doesn’t have any wow factor whatsoever; users should probably expect a dated single-core processor inside along with a max of 512MB of RAM, which is pretty standard for a low-level phone nowadays. This may be a good device for those customers who w...

Huawei Sonic reappears at the FCC, ditches AWS 3G and NFC functionality

Huawei Sonic reappears at the FCC, ditches AWS 3G and NFC functionality

Posted on Aug 25, 2011 by MG15

If this is the same "T-Mobile Sonic" we saw a month back, it's safe to assume Huawei took the Gingerbread slab back to the drawing board and away from a Magenta debut. Popping up, once again, over at the FCC, and bearing a different model number -- U8652 -- the new Sonic sports a similar rounded-edge design, although this current incarnation takes on a definite rectangular shape. Gone are both the formerly included NFC functionality and AWS bands, in favor of quadband GSM, UMTS 850 / 1900 / 2100 bands, 3.2 megapixel rear-facing camera, WiFi and Bluetooth. The handset's radios are tipping us in the direction of an AT&T destiny, but could also very likely indicate a bow on the networks to our ...

Huawei Vision hits the FCC, assaults the senses with a promo video

Huawei Vision hits the FCC, assaults the senses with a promo video

Posted on Aug 09, 2011 by MG1

Huawei this morning offered the world a video sneak peak of the Vision, its "most stylish smartphone yet," and like clockwork, the thing has popped up -- albeit less flashily -- on the FCC's site. The admittedly slick-looking handset packs Gingerbread, a 1GHz processor, and a 3.7 inch capacitive touchscreen into a unibody frame that's 9.9 millimeters at its thinnest. As for that "3D interface" the company's been talking up, you can see that in action after the break.

Huawei Vision unveiled: stylish 3.7" Gingerbread smartphone in unibody frame

Huawei Vision unveiled: stylish 3.7" Gingerbread smartphone in unibody frame

Posted on Aug 04, 2011 by MG1

The Huawei Vision might not have the guts to compete with dual-core equipped powerhouses ruling the market, but with a 3.7” and 1GHz chip powering Gingerbread it definitely has what it takes to sell 1 million. And that's the exact sales target of the Shenzhen network equipment and phone maker Huawei.
The Vision is among the company's first attempts to go head-to-head with the big names in the industry, but it also kickstarts a series of smartphones for the company that are expected to be better linked to the cloud. Huawei's upcoming Cloud+ platform is expected to come with functionality similar to what services like iCloud aim to offer: remote access to media and applications. That certainl...

Huawei Sonic with AWS endorsed by FCC, fittingly given T-Mobile nametag

Huawei Sonic with AWS endorsed by FCC, fittingly given T-Mobile nametag

Posted on Jul 11, 2011 by MG1

Turkey may have had the first yuckle with the Huawei Sonic, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll get the last laugh. The Gingerbread handset received warm welcomes on TurkCell due to its inexpensive cost -- and included NFC functionality included doesn't hurt either. Just as it officially launched there, however, we were pleasantly surprised to see the Huawei UMG587 -- labelled the "T-Mobile Sonic" -- get pushed through the FCC. The docs not only confirm 850 / 1900 / 2100 3G bands thrown on top of T-Mobile's AWS, but also bluntly mention HSPA+ download speeds will be maxed out at 42Mbps. We found it interesting that Turkcell's model only reaches 7.2Mbps, so we're hoping the full maximum...

Huawei M886 Glory runs Gingerbread on a 1.4GHz chip, coming to Cricket for $299

Posted on Jun 22, 2011 by MG3

Huawei partnering with Cricket Wireless might not sound like a team bringing earthshattering news, but for the budget-savvy consumer they just did – the Huawei M886 Glory is an Android handset running on a 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8655T chip all for the unmatched price tag of $299off contract. Did we mention the 4-inch screen with cream of the crop resolution of 480x854 pixels, adornished with an 8-megapixel auto-focus camera with flash and the promise for swift update to the upcoming Android Ice Cream Sandwich? Currently, the Huawei Glory runs Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
