ZTE, Huawei increase smartphone shipments
Two of the leading Chinese handset makers, ZTE and Huawei, have both increased their smartphone shipments last year. ZTE on its end has exceeded its own target by more than doubling shipments of smartphones in 2012, helping it offset decreasing sales of feature phones. At the same time, the company has posted positive free cash flow and operating cash flow for the first time in three years.

MWC 2013: Huawei booth tour
Huawei had one major device announcement during this year’s Mobile World Congress – for the Ascend P2, though many other devices were also on display in Barcelona. Just like ZTE, Huawei has also advanced through the years and we even tend to think of it as a better of the two major Chinese handset makers. At least we find Huawei-made products looking much better than those made by ZTE. And it was interesting to watch the evolution of Huawei’s MWC booth… Just few years ago, they’ve been showcasing entry- and … Read more

MWC 2013: Huawei announces the Ascend P2
Huawei is the first to kick off Mobile World Congress with the announcement of the Ascend P2. The P2 will take the place of the Ascend P1, which was announced as “the world’s thinnest smartphone” last year at CES 2012.

Ascend P2 look alike Huawei GL07S unveiled in Japan as Emobile’s first LTE smartphone
Japanese carrier Emobile unveiled its first LTE smartphone, and it’s the Huawei GL07S, which we can’t help but compare to the upcoming Ascend P2. The phone looks like a black version of Huawei’s upcoming “world’s thinnest smartphone” though it’s 8.6mm thick (instead of 6.5mm). Then again, the Chinese company may repeat the last year’s practice (as it did with the Ascend P1) and release not one but two different versions of the Ascend P2, one of which will be super-thin while the other one will sport a bigger battery. So … Read more
