If you’re the proud owner of an HTC smartphone, you can enjoy a free PlayStation Mobile game every week until the end of February. The offer is available to those in select countries with a handset running Sense 4+, and the first free game is Cubixx, a reinvention of the classic action-puzzle game Qix.

HTC has today announced the Desire U, a new, mid-range Android smartphone that will make its debut in the company’s native Taiwan. Packing a 4-inch WVGA display and a 1GHz processor, the handset comes with an unlocked, SIM-free price tag of just $275, making it a very competitive device.

One of the devices we’ve been most looking forward to getting our hands on at Mobile World Congress next month is the HTC M7, a new flagship Android smartphone that’s set to introduce HTC’s new Sense 5.0 user interface. If the latest rumor is accurate, however, the M7 won’t be at MWC; it’ll get its own launch event the week before instead.

Despite announcing a number of new smartphones at CES just two weeks ago, Huawei has more handsets up its sleeve. In Germany today, the company announced the Ascend G615, another high-end smartphone with a 4.5-inch 720p display, a quad-core processor, and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera.

Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo has today unveiled the LG Optimus G Pro, a successor to the flagship Optimus G, which offers a much-improved display, a faster processor, and a bigger battery. The device comes just four months after the Optimus G was announced, and it aims to compete with the latest crop of smartphones that pack a full high-definition 1080p display, such as the HTC Droid DNA, and the Sony Xperia Z.
