Along with ZTE, Huawei is one of two Chinese manufacturers who look like they are going to have a good 2012. Both companies have had success with getting handsets to market in 2011, either branded with the names of carriers or more recently under their own names too.
Huawei in particular has made some nice high-end smartphones, and (on paper at least) the new Huawei Ascend P1 and Ascend P1 S handsets are two very high end devices that challenge the class leaders.
Huawei say that these will be Android 4.0 ("Ice Cream Sandwich" or "ICS") devices at launch, and the press photos certainly show an ICS device rather than an Android 2.3 handset. Other manufacturers are lagging behind with implementing ICS, and Huawei may well get a competitive advantage here.
The Huawei P1 and P1 S come with a 4.3" 960 x 540 pixel super AMOLED touchscreen with a Gorilla Glass coating, a 1.5GHz dual core processor, an 8 megapixel camera on the back with 1080p video capture capabilities and a 1.3 megapixel one on the front for video calling.
