Huawei just announced the Ascend P1 S, which is their newest flagship phone. This one dethrones the DROID RAZR as the World's thinnest smartphone. It comes in at 6.68mm thin, and we probably won't see a release until around April. For now, there is no schedule for a U.S. release since a carrier hasn't been finalized at this time. There will be three color choices – metallic black, ceramic white, and cherry-blossom pink.

The unit at CES was a stock Ice Cream Sandwich experience, but it most likely won't stay that way as they will add some UI tweaks by the time it's ready for release.

Full Specs after the break:

4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD (960 x 540) display with Corning Gorilla Glass
1.5GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4460 processor
1GB of RAM
4GB internal memory
8MP rear camera with LED flash, HDR image capture, and 1080p video recording.
1.3MP front camera with 720p recording
1670mAh battery
Quad-band GSM/EDGE and penta-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA
Bluetooth 3.0

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
