Huawei-Ascend-P2-leak

Huawei unveiled a number of new smartphones at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week, but it appears the Chinese company may have another device to bring us in the coming months. A press photo, including specifications, has been leaked for the Ascend P2. While it’s not the flagship Ascend D2, it still looks to be a very impressive handset.

Samsung-100M-Galaxy-S-sales

Samsung has produced some of the most popular Android-powered smartphones in recent years, and its flagship Galaxy S III has been one of the most successful devices of the past 12 months. But just how successful are they? Well, Samsung announced on Monday that it has now sold more than 100 million smartphones from its Galaxy S series, with more than 40 million Galaxy S III units shipped in just seven months.

Samsung-GT-B7810-Android-QWERTY

It appears Samsung is hard at work on a new Android handset that combines a physical QWERTY keyboard with a touchscreen, possibly to succeed the Galaxy M Pro GT. The new handset has been pictured out in the wild running the Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, and it sports the GT-B7810 model number that was approved by the FCC back in June 2012.

Samsung kept us waiting a long, long time for the Galaxy S III. We expected it to arrive at CES 2012 back in January, and when that didn’t happen, we hoped for a release at Mobile World Congress the following month (which Samsung didn’t bother turning up to). As it turns out, the Korean company’s flagship smartphone didn’t get its grand unveiling until May.

We may not be in for the same wait next time around, however. Samsung is already teasing “something new” for CES 2013, sparking speculation that the Galaxy S IV will be arriving as early as next month.

HTC announced its unaudited November revenue on Thursday morning, and the Taiwanese company has seen a slight improvement over the figures it issued in October. Its new smartphones have helped it rake in NT$21.2 billion (approx. $729 million).
