That new Orange Barcelona Android phone that was discovered on Orange’s web site today? It’s a rebranded Huawei-made device, which is also known as the Huawei Boulder. There are plenty of videos of the Huawei Boulder on the internet thanks to a recent Huawei press event in Asia, one of which we have just stolen to reproduce here:
Has a joystick! The man using it seems to think it’s pretty responsive, plus the 299 Singapore dollars unsubsidised price quoted translates to around £150. Thanks to reader and fellow Huawei fan Simon for the discovery.
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 20, 2011Funnily enough, in this day of up-to-date info being sourced via the internet, Orange’s latest free in-store magazine has the information on price, where the web does not! In it (the mag), it says it’ll be available for 119 pounds (although I believe it’ll require an additional 20 pounds top-up as part of the purchase price?).
