Oh, this isn’t an Android phone, but it’s possibly of some interest nonetheless – as it marks the first time that Huawei has launched a mobile phone under its own name. Huawei is the unseen manufacturer of the rebranded T-Mobile Pulse and the upcoming Vodafone 845 Android phone, so this step into own-brand territory is quite a big moment in its history.
Although it’s a rather non-momentous phone – the Huawei G7002 is a sweet but unremarkable low-spec touchscreen job that’s launching via O2 UK very soon. It has a 1.3megapixel camera and will be cost a minuscule £40 on a pay-as-you-go contract. Say no more.
It is a little acorn at present. We’re drawn to and impressed by the battery life on the tech specs screen, though – up to 12.5 days standby time. Imagine that! Link via Mobile Magazine.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ June 1, 2010The “bones” are the very first six words of the update; “Oh, this isn’t an Android phone”.
Like he says, it’s just an interesting announcement if you’ve been following the emergence of Huawei as a hardware maker.
