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.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
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.
