Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 805 processor may not be the biggest and baddest one on the market in the future. According to a new AnTuTu benchmark, Huawei’s own octa-core Kirin 920 processor performs just as good. The processor is arranged with four Cortex-A7 and four Cortex-A15 CPU with ARM big.LITTLE architecture and Mali-T624; however, it is unknown if all eight cores can actually run at the same time. While the Snapdragon 805 earned 37,780 points, Huawei’s Kirin 920 came scored 37,363. Not too bad right?

It is becoming increasingly clear that Qualcomm is gaining some competition, even beyond Huawei. Samsung continues to release new Exynos processors (for part of the world) and even LG is working on Odin for future devices. Then there is NVIDIA, who is still working on gaining some of the attention Qualcomm stole from them in the mobile market. If not 2014, 2015 will be a year for secondary processors to become more prevalent.

huawei_mediapad_m1_announcementThe MediaPad M1 is the mysterious Huawei device that leaked last night. And as I noted yesterday, it looks like an even bigger HTC One Max. One thing Huawei did not do, though, is give this tablet excellent specifications like its MediaPad X1. The 8-inch display has a 1280×800 resolution. The rear camera is 5MP and the front camera is 1MP. And there is a 1.6GHz quad-core processor. Huawei did keep thickness in mind. The MediaPad M1 is just 7.9mm thick and there is a 4800mAh battery inside. The tablet will be available in select regions later this quarter.

Huawei has given us a little bit of everything today. We have already seen the TalkBand B1 and MediaPad X1. Now we have the Ascend G6. In short, it is the lesser version of the Ascend P6. While looking almost identical, the Ascend G6 has ‘affordable’ specifications. The 4.5-inch LCD display has a 960×540 resolution. A 1.2GHz quad-core processor is powered by a 2000mAh battery. There is a respectable 8MP camera on the back and a 5MP one up front. A 3G model will arrive this quarter followed by a slightly thicker 4G model in April. And of course Huawei is pushing LTE Cat 4 connectivity.

Huawei has finally made the MediaPad X1 official. This 7-inch tablet weighs just 139 grams and is 103.9mm wide. That makes it both the lightest and narrowest 7-inch tablet around. As for its thickness, it remains slim at 7.18mm. Despite being so thin, a 5000mAh battery managed to find its way into the device.The display boasts an impressive 1920×1200 resolution for your eyes to gaze upon. But what is really interesting about this tablet is that it has LTE Cat 4 support; therefore, it can act as a very large smartphone. » Read the rest

huawei_talkband_b1

Huawei has officially entered the wearable market today by announcing the TalkBand B1. The device, available in six different colors, has a 1.4-inch flexible OLED display. Present here is the run-of-the-mill tracking feature set: steps taken, traveled distance, and calories burnt. Also, it can monitor sleeping patterns to wake up the user at just the right time. Then there’s a very interesting hardware feature. The TalkBand B1 has an earpiece that can be detached and used for phone calls. That is why people have been questioning its thickness. The 90mAh battery will net six days of use after taking two hours to fully charge. While there is no official price just yet, Huawei’s smartband will be available in China (next month), Japan, the Middle East, Russia and Western Europe later this year.

Mysterious Huawei handset leaks, smartwatch sitting right beside it

No, that is not the ‘HTC One Max 2′ you are looking at. That is an unidentified Huawei phablet sitting next to the company’s upcoming smartwatch. The reason I say unidentified is because while the MediaPad X1 is coming, its design doesn’t quite match this. Above is a premium aluminum device that is almost identical to what HTC’s devices look like. The MediaPad X1; however, looks like the front is all plastic.

The image, posted by @evleaks, was attached with a comment saying “WOW-wei” and I agree with that proclamation. If Huawei keeps up this kind of design language, people will certainly give them a look (as will HTC when they serve Huawei with a lawsuit). » Read the rest

Huawei released a teaser video the other day for their MWC 2014 presence. The video indicates a couple new tablets will be revealed along with a new smartphone. Until now, many people seemed to think the possibilities for the smartphone included the Ascend P7 or the Ascend D3. A new possibility has emerged thanks to a new leak from Twitter tipster @evleaks who posted a new image of the Ascend G6 suggesting a reveal coming up this weekend.

The image shows the device, a low to mid-tier version of the Ascend P6, in five different colors including black, white, pink, blue and gold. The Ascend G6 will reportedly be 7.5mm think which is similar to an iPhone 5S. The screen will run at 960×540 resolution and is supported by a 1.3GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. Thus far, there is no indication the device will support 4G LTE nor is there any information indicating it will make its way out of the Chinese market.

The screen shot in the image shows a date of Sunday, February 23, indicating that may be the date it is unveiled.
