Firms focus on smartphone-naive at Mobile World Congress

, Feb 27th 2012 Discuss [13]

Mobile World Congress – like many trade shows – is usually punctuated by high-end devices competing for deep Western pockets, but it’s devices and services for developing markets that have distinguished the big announcements in 2012. We’ve seen our fair share of uberphones, certainly. HTC had a trio of relatively high-end handsets, topping out with the quadcore HTC One X, and Panasonic’s ELUGA range is definitely targeting more affluent, style-influenced consumers. Yet for every one HTC One Series device sold, several more handsets phones to perhaps first-time smartphone buyers are likely to pass through the cash register, and it’s this market that manufacturers have targeted at MWC 2012.

Huawei Ascend D Quad and D Quad XL get official with custom quad-core processor

, Feb 26th 2012 Discuss [12]

Chinese manufacturer Huawei intends to stake its high-end claim at Mobile World Congress 2012, and they're off to a good start. The previously indicated Diamond line of devices will begin with the Ascend D Quad, featuring Huawei's very own ARM-based quad-core processor, the K3V2. We had expected them to rely on Nvidia's Tegra 3 architecture, but it looks like they're keeping it in the family. The company claims that this bit of 1.5ghz silicon helps it perform 49% faster than conventional devices (making it the "world's fastest smartphone") while improving battery life. Other major specifications include a 4.5-inch 720p touchscreen and Ice Cream Sandwich. Read The Full Story
