Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD Will Be Shipped In September, Come Fully Loaded With Quad-Core Processor And 16-Core GPU

Chinese manufacturer Huawei has a new supertablet on the way. It recently announced it has plans to ship the MediaPad 10 FHD to “select markets” starting in September. The tablet comes with a whole host of goodies inside as it will feature:

 

  • A 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 high definition IPS display screen and 16:10 golden ratio
  • 8 megapixel HD rear camera + 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera
  • Ice Cream Sandwich
  • Full 3G & 4G LTE radios built-in

 

While the above mentioned features are nothing to sneeze at, the real kicker is it will feature a quad-core processor along with a 16-core GPU. The K3v2 Cortex-A9 will be clocked at 1.4GHz and when complimented by the device’s massive 6,600mAh battery, the combination will give users over 10 hours of continuous battery life. Oh and the best part is all the goodies inside don’t come at a cost of added heft— the device will measure in at 8.8mm thin and will weigh only 580g. Sadly the device will not be making an appearance here in the States (as of now) and will be launched in Germany, Sweden, Russia, Belarus, Korea, Bahrain and Kuwait. The good news is that other markets will follow, so the hope is that Huawei will announce a variation for the States someday (soon).

Enough with the chit-chatter, you can hit the break to see the full presser from Huawei.

Huawei Ascend P1 to be Enhanced with a ‘Premium Feel’ Ahead of its UK Launch

Last month we reported the Huawei Ascend P1 would be coming to the U.K. in August. We’re now more than halfway through the month, and instead of a launch date, Huawei announced they want to give the device more of a “premium” feel ahead of its launch. At this point we’re not sure what all the improvements will be, but they did mention the newer version would have an 1800mAh battery vs. the 1670mAh that was sent out in review units.

Looks like some pretty exciting stuff! I know we’re moving into a quad-core world, but dual-core phones still pack some relevant power. So are any of our reader across the pond excited for this device?

You folks living in the UK should be on the lookout for a new device heading your way, the Huawei Ascend P1. This mega-slim Huawei device has been available in other parts of the globe for a while now but a slightly different version will land on Vodafone and various other UK retailers soon. This new version has a soft touch back plate as opposed to the glossy white version found elsewhere. Measuring in at only 7.69mm thin, the Ascend P1 runs a version of Ice Cream Sandwich that is about as stock as you can get considering manufacturer overlays. The device is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core TI-OMAP processor and sports 1GB of RAM and 4GB of ROM so it should keep many of you power users satisfied. On the rear of the device you will find an 8MP camera coupled with a 1.3MP shooter up front. DNLA certification means that you will be able to seamlessly share your media to your television without the need for any bothersome wires.

Huawei announced that the Ascend P1 will be heading to Vodafone sometime early August while other retail outlets will be announced at a later date. The phone will be free on Vodafone contracts and you can expect a SIM-free version to be released later. Full press release after the break.

Huawei’s Ascend D1 has officially been launched in China. In case you didn’t know, this speedy mid-range phone has a TI OMAP 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU and 1GB RAM, a high-def 4.5-inch, 1280 x 720 high-definition IPS+ display with Corning® Gorilla® Glass and remember that Dolby/Huawei agreement we’d told you about recently? Well the Ascend D1 is also going to have topnotch sound too as it includes Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound and Audience earSmart™ voice technology.

The device is currently in various Chinese e-commerce outlets including Huawei’s Vmall.com for a reasonable ¥ 2499 ($392). As a follow-up, Russia will be next to receive the device as it’s scheduled to arrive sometime in August– while additional markets follow after that. While most of us here in the States might be a bit disappointed there was no direct mention of the U.S. markets being involved in the immediate launch of the device, be sure to cheer up. After all—- we did see the Ascend D1 sneak past us in the FCC recently, so we may possibly see an unlocked version of the phone compatible with U.S. wireless bands some day. Make sure to jump past the break to see the full presser from Huawei.

Huawei’s ultra-thin Ascend D Quad smartphone is about to arrive in stores sooner than we thought. According to The Inquirer, the smartphone is set for a late-summer launch in China and fall launch in European markets. While there’s no word on pricing, we’d imagine with features like the quad-core processor, 720P display and Dolby 5.1 surround sound, it would probably come at a premium cost.

Yes friends, it’s just a matter of time now before we see the cool smartphone land in stores— but in the meantime, why not refresh your memory on how the device looks in action and check out our hands-on video? Hopefully it will hold you all off until the phone’s release.

Back in February, Huawei announced the introduction of the Ascend D Quad, a high-end smartphone, scheduled to be available in April 2012. With an impressive list of features, Huawei claimed it would be the fastest smartphone in the world. In March, it was reported production would be delayed until June with July delivery dates. News is now coming out that yet another delay has struck Huawei. Production is now expected to commence in August with delivery probably not occurring until September.

The delay is traced to Huawei’s own production of their quad-core chip. Huawei’s Consumer Business Group CEO Yu Chengdong indicates production of the quad-core chip “has encountered some technical problems which caused the delays in production.” » Read the rest
