MWC 2012: Live from Huawei's Conference

We're down in Barcelona for the 2012 Mobile World Congress and are wasting no time: the Huawei conference has started. Stay tuned to see what they are about to announce!

They're showing the Ascend D quad, which they claim is the fastest quad-core smartphone to date.

The CPU inside the Ascend D quad is Huawei's K3V2 64-bit processor, running at 1.5GHz.

The 4.5" screen has a 1280x720 resolution and is IPS+, which spells great graphics quality.

There's an XL version, which has a 2500 mAh battery, as opposed to the "regular" one which is 1800 mAh.

The Ascend D quad also has 1GB of RAM on board, 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash and 1080p video recording, 1.3MP front-facing camera with 720p video recording.

And of course, it runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. For more specs, check the attached spec sheet.

Beside the Ascend D quad and D quad XL, there will be a little brother as well: Ascend D1 with 1.5GHz dual-core CPU.

All three will be coming to worldwide markets in Q2 2012 and will be 15% cheaper than competition, according to Huawei.
