Huawei has just announced what's being touted as the world's thinnest phone yet. This one's called the Ascend P1 S but there's also a fatter model called the P1. Both of them share pretty much the same spec sheet but the P1 S is just 6.8mm thin (the P1 is 7.69mm). This smartphone packs a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD display, a dual-core TI OMAP 4460 1.5GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of ROM, an SGX 540 CPU, an 8MP camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, pentaband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity, and Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich".

Those specs are actually quite good so I wonder how Huawei managed to cram all of that power into this thin phone. The Ascend P1 S will be hitting North America in Q2 of this year which is just a few months away. The price is still unknown right now.

T-Mobile USA has just made two more upcoming tablets official. It's the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G (above) and the Springboard which is actually just a Huawei MediaPad. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 features a 10.1-inch display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, a 3MP camera, a front-facing 2MP camera, a dual-core 1GHz CPU, Android "Honeycomb" and obviously HSPA+ support. The Springboard, on the other hand, sports a 7-inch display, a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm CPU, a 5MP camera, a front-facing 1.3MP webcam, an SD card slot, Android "Honeycomb", and HSPA+ support.

Looks like T-Mobile USA could be planning to release an Android tablet by Huawei. TMoNews has just mentioned that this tablet is said to feature a 7-inch IPS display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, HSPA+ connectivity, a dual-core CPU, and Android "Honeycomb". This one seems pretty good but could feature a cheap build quality since it's expected to launch for $199.99 on a 2-year contract before the end of the year.

Looks like the press photos for the Huawei Honor have just leaked and it should be hitting the market soon. The specs aren't 100% confirmed right now but it's rumoured to feature a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, 3G / WiFi support, a 1.4GHz CPU, and some version of the Android OS. The price for this one is unknown right now so we'll have to wait for that. This one could actually take some mid-end sales when it gets released.

Yet another Android phone from Huawei has been spotted at the FCC. This time it's the U8520 which is going to be sporting a dual-SIM card slot which is pretty sweet. Specs for this one are said to be an HVGA display, WiFi / GPS support, a 3MP camera, a 1GHz CPU, and Android "Froyo". We don't know where this will launch right now but this model is capable of running on a bunch of North American carriers so it has a shot of landing here. Check it out at the FCC.

A new Huawei smartphone has just shown up and it could be called the Honor when it hits the market in the near future. The device is said to pack a 4-inch FWVGA display, a 5MP camera, a 1.4GHz CPU, a 9.9mm thin body, WiFi b/g/n support, and Android 2.3. The Honor is also packingUMTS 900/2100MHz bands so it's headed to Europe / Asia. Who knows if there's a North American model in the works.

Coming from PocketNow is a leak regarding upcoming AT&T devices and there's a little bit of everything on here. According to the roadmap you can expect the Samsung SGH-i927 and the SGH-i777 which are both running the Android (2.3.3) OS. They both pack 1GB of RAM along with an 8MP camera so it's likely that those are Galaxy S II devices.

In Q4 you can expect a few more smartphones including the Samsung SGH-i937 and the HTC Bunyip which are going to be running the next major version of Windows Phone 7. You can also expect the BlackBerry Torch 9860 along with the new Curve 9360 which are both running OS 7.0. Other smartphones pegged for Q4 are the Pantech Nuli, Huawei Jengu, Motorola MB865, and Pantech Onza which are all running Android and should have different names when they actually hit the market. The Motorola device is said to be the upgraded Atrix.

What you see above may look a bit like Samsung's Nexus S but it's actually the Huawei Vision. This handset will be hitting "select markets" this September and it's a pretty decent one from the company. The Vision features a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 2.1 support, and a 3D interface. Price for this one is still unknown but it shouldn't be too expensive.

Well, well, well. Looks like the Huawei Sonic has just hit the FCC with T-Mobile AWS bands. The handset looks like it could be hitting the US carrier as the T-Mobile Sonic and also features HSPA+ support which is great. This handset should actually be a mid-end handset so having HSPA+ is actually a bonus for you. Check it out at the FCC if you're bored.

NFC may not be an industry standard in cell phones yet but Huawei is trying their best to make it so. They have unveiled the Huawei Sonic in Turkey and they have announced that it'll cost just €150 ($215 USD). The handset features a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, NFC, and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" which is actually pretty decent. Of course, it's not as good as the high-end Android phones out there but it's great if you're on a tight budget.

WIND Mobile has brought two phones to Canada today and they're the LG Optimus 2X and the Huawei U6150 which we knew would be launching soon. Obviously, the phones are priced at $445 and $98, respectively, contract-free. The Optimus 2X is clearly the better phone packing a 4-inch display, a Tegra 2 CPU, and the Android 2.2 OS. However, if you want a cheap text messaging phone then you might want to choose the U6150 instead. Check them out on WIND Mobile here and here.

The tablet will feature an IPS display, a 5MP camera, a rear-facing 1.3MP camera, 8GB of storage, a 10.5mm body, and a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU.
