Already at IFA this morning we’ve seen Huawei introduce the Ascend Mate 7 and Ascend G7, and while those help fulfill some of the Huawei rumors we’d been hearing leading up to this week, there was one more big one: the company had been officially teasing the launch of an updated version of its existing Ascend P7 handset with a ...

Huawei teases sapphire-screened smartphone

Smartphones with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protecting their displays are no longer the stuff of bank-breaking luxury phones; with the launch of the Kyocera Brigadier, they’re soundly within reach of the average smartphone buyer. Still, sapphire’s arrived with more of a whimper than a bang, and it remains to be ...

New Huawei Ascend P7 pics leak, one week before launch

Earlier this month we got our first look at Huawei’s Ascend P7, though with some serious blurrycam quality to the pics. More recently, we heard about some new shots making the rounds, but those were revealed to be fake before we had a chance to share them with you. Today we’ve got some new imagery that should hopefully be legit, revealing the phone in white and depicting some very official-looking renders. Everything we see here aligns nicely with that earlier leak, and ...

Huawei Ascend P7 captured on camera in new pics

Late last December, as we were still gearing-up for CES, we started hearing rumors about an Ascend P7 from Huawei. With a five-inch 1080p display, a 13MP main camera, and a possible 8MP front-facer, the phone sounded decent enough, even if we still didn’t know very much about it. But then we didn’t see the P7 at CES, nor did we at MWC. Was it still happening? In early March rumors suggested that the phone could launch in May, but that was the last we ...

Huawei quad HD smartphone rumored for late summer/early fall

Huawei brought a lot of new gear to show off at MWC 2014, including its unusual TalkBand B1 convertible smartwatch, but not everything we were hoping to get news of ended up making an appearance; for instance, the Ascend D3 was nowhere to be found. Today we get an update on when the D3 might finally arrive, and also hear a rumor about Huawei’s first venture into smartphones with 2K quad HD displays. Supposedly, a 2K Huawei handset is in the works ...

Is Huawei really abandoning the US market? That’s a big, fat “maybe” for the moment, as we wait to see just how serious some comments made by company execs really are.
