Three has launched Huawei’s latest flagship handset, the Ascend P2, in the United Kingdom. The carrier is offering two attractive price plans with the device, both of which give you the smartphone free, with no upfront fee.

Vodafone has confirmed that it will roll out its new 4G LTE network in the United Kingdom this summer, ready for a launch “later this year.” The move follows the carrier’s £790 million ($1.2 billion) acquisition of a chunk of 4G spectrum back in February.

Three U.K. has launched Sony’s latest mid-range handset, the Xperia SP. The device supports Three’s “ultrafast” network according to the company’s press release, which is believes to be its upcoming 4G network that will launch sometime during the second half of 2013.

EE has announced plans to double its 4G LTE network speeds in ten U.K. cities by the summer. The move will boost headline speeds to 80Mbps, and increase the average speed to 20Mbps for both new and existing subscribers. The carrier says this is part of its ambition to “stay one step ahead” as rival carriers prepare to launch their own 4G networks in the coming months.

3G carriers all over the world have been pushing out their own updates for the Samsung Galaxy S II, and now Three UK has joined them. Earlier today, the company’s official Twitter account announced that an update for the Galaxy S II has been rolled out, bumping the software up to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
