Quad Core Huawei Ascend D1 Q To Be Announced At MWC?

As you may already know, Huawei is getting ready to unveil its fastest smartphone yet at MWC 2012 in Barcelona, on February 26. Unfortunately, the invite to the company’s event (seen below) doesn’t tell us more than just that. However, Blog of Mobile (a Japanese blog) is reporting that Huawei Chairman Yu Chengdong has unveiled on its Webo profile the following: the upcoming handset is called Huawei Ascend D1 Q.

“D” stands for Diamond – the new series the device is part of, while Q likely stands for quad-core. This does make sense, since Huawei’s latest high-end Android handset, the Ascend P1 S, has a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor – so a newer and faster handset would need a quad-core CPU.

In addition to the Ascend D1 Q, it’s said that Huawei will also announce the MediaPad 10 – a 10 inch successor to the 7 inch MediaPad tablet. We’ll be in Barcelona at Huawei’s event, and we’re looking forward to checking out the company’s new Android products.

Huawei Honor with Ice Cream Sandwich launched in China

In collaboration with Chinese telecom China Unicom Huawei has released a version of their Honor smartphone running Android Ice Cream Sandwich. The said device is white too and will be released at the beginning of February just in time for Valentine's Day. It's unclear if the white version of the Honor will remain a China Unicom exclusive or we're going to see it elsewhere too.

We've seen an official demo of the Honor running on ICS back in December of last year, which surely pointed to an official release of an update for the device. We hope that it's just a matter of time (not too much we hope) before the ICS update rolls out to the rest of the world.
