So the dust is beginning to settle after the so-called tech court case of the decade. Apple has come out the victor and Samsung supposedly have been crushed – or at least their lawyers have. So what’s next? For Apple it will be business as usual, there will …
If you read our Ascend P1 reviews then you’ll probably be aware that we were pretty impressed. The Huawei handset may “only” be dual core, but for the money it’s a brilliant handset which really pushes the company into the limelight. We’ve just been told that, following our …
Those regular eagle eyed readers out there will have noted that this phone has already been reviewed by our editor in chief Leigh Geary, so instead of rehashing what he has already done, this will give you a different slant on this slim powerhouse. Hardware The phone is …

So, we took a walk over Cannock Chase this weekend and I … crashed the car into a rock. Wehay! No seriously. I properly broke the car. Anyhow, before all that happened I’d had requests from you guys for more example photos from the Huawei Ascend P1. We …
Yesterday you may have read our review of the Huawei Ascend P1. It’s safe to say that we raved about this particular phone quite a bit. For the money it really is a great bit of kit with a fantastic screen and a great camera. Just to show …
I’m going to start this review in a rather unconventional way. Bear with me. Straight away. Gotta admit it. This really isn’t bad. I mean sure, when I hold the Samsung Galaxy SII, then switch to this, there’s an ever-so-slight quality difference. The camera sticks out ever-such-a-little too …

My nan wants to get online so that she can email her daughters. It’s a simple request and she already has a laptop, but she doesn’t want any “messing” with her phone line and she takes the laptop wherever she goes. This could be my solution. The new …
The Huawei Y 100 is a pretty cheap smartphone. It’s only £79.99 and is a diddy little thing which could be the ideal first smartphone for youngsters, pensioners and those that have been scared off smartphones by the price. Specs then, and we start off well with …
You might not know it but Huawei have been around in the mobile industry for a long long time now, If you have one of those USB dongles which were all the craze a year ago there is a good chance Huawei made it. They also made handsets …
This morning a jiffy bag turned up and a small phone was inside. To a “power user” the diminutive Huawei Ascend Y 100 has a relatively small 2.8″ LCD screen and isn’t anywhere near as large as phones like the Galaxy SIII or HTC One Series. The “geek” …

Although I’m a self-proclaimed mobile gadgets maniac, somehow I don’t usually follow major events in the industry as closely as perhaps I should. However, since I’m looking to replace my current HTC Desire Z sometime soon’ish, I was keeping an extra eye on the recent happenings at Mobile …
What is it about a brand? I had a pretty long conversation this evening about just that. Sure, specs and build quality matter. Innovation, ease-of-use and simplicity matters. However, there’s a definite brand following that people might not admit to. Take Apple for example. Truth be told, there’s …
Check this out. Good yes? A flying horse, right there in the middle of Mobile World Congress, looking down over the Fira. However, get a little closer and you may notice something. It’s actually made from Huawei Ascend D phones. Dozens and dozens Hundreds of them, all attached …
This one has been out for a few months now, but we figured it was worth a few shots if you’re considering one. Here’s a rather bright version – you can get lots of different rear panels and they had a selection on the stand. Specs then, 8 …
This is the Ascend D1 – not to be confused with it’s more powerful brother, the D quad. This, if we’re honest, is pretty much exactly the same in every way but with a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU instead of the quad-core unit in the D quad. Android 4.0 …

Whilst generally hanging around the Huawei stand we decided to have a look at the Ascend G unit (sorry, just had to add “unit” there). It’s actually called the “Huawei Ascend G 300″ on the stand and has a 4” WVGA screen, Google Android 2.3 and a 5 …
So, you’ve got the major players here in Barcelona. HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Nokia and the new boys – Sony Mobile. Then there’s the people close behind, Acer, Asus, Huawei and ZTE are becoming more well known. Huawei in particular have been behind a lot of network-branded kit …
The Huawei Ascend D quad was announced just yesterday, so we thought it’d be worth visiting the Huawei stand to (a) snap some pictures and film it and (b) try and convince them to change the company name so it’s easier for us to spell. Sadly there was …
We said we’d bring you shots of the newly-announced Huawei MediaPad FHD and here they are. It does, if I’m honest, look a helluva lot like an iPad. It’s got a solid construction, well designed and was pretty darned quick when we tried it. Unfortunately there only appears …
A new tablet was announced by Huawei today. This 10″ beast has got a quad-core 1.5Ghz processor and runs Android 4.0. We’ll have a run down there in a second and get some pictures of it for you. The CPU is, according to Huawei, the smallest quad-core unit …

Has it really been a year since we first had our hands on the Huawei S7 Slim? Recently it’s had a bit of a price drop so we decided to get another look at the device. It’s a pretty weighty device, and is designed to use in “landscape …

We first saw this deal before Christmas and it looked to be a short-term deal. Not so, it’s still only £40 and you get 6 months of free internet and £20 worth of apps too. The Rapport is also known as the Ideos X1 or U8180 and you …
Last year, when we were covering Mobile World Congress, we asked Orange why they weren’t retailing own-branded tablet devices here in the UK. Now they are, in the shape of Orange Tahiti. Under the paintwork it’s a Huawei MediaPad running Android 3.2 (Honeycomb). Now, however, Huawei have announced …
The other day we got a first look at ths super-slim P1 and P1 S from Huawei. Now, mark my words, Huawei are definitely worth keeping an eye on, especially with Mobile World Congress around the corner. They’re the people behind the Orange Tahiti tablet and their handsets …
Orange have just announced their new 7″ tablet running Android Honeycomb 3.2. This isn’t the first time Orange have sold their own Android tablet, and we asked Anne Bouverot last year (when she was Exec VP of Mobile Services at France Telecom) whether their re-branded Huawei S7 would …
