Just as the other manufacturers keeping their phones like a top national secret before its launch, Huawei seems to take things differently. Being victim of the worst smartphone leaks recently, the Chinese manufacturer is leaking some information of its soon-to-be launched phone itself! Yes, in their official Facebook page. Well, they may be quite tired of other people publishing photos and their phone features before they are yet to make an announcement, so here, they are teasing their loyal followers and tech geeks with tidbits of what to expect with its newest device—Huawei Ascend P6.

Is June 18 For Ascend P6?

Huawei is announcing that they will be releasing a flagship product in London on June 18, but did not completely confirmed that the launch will be for Ascend P6, thus resulting to more confusions. A post in their page last May 29 speaks that the release of Ascend P6 will WOW all consumers as the company had used their best materials and invested a lot into the new smartphone. Huawei also expresses the amount of time and work that they have exerted to produce such phone. Moreover, Huawei also stated that they never really had a chance to explain that we are the best to the consumers, but encourages them to be the judge and let the phone sell itself.

Huawei Launch Promotional Teaser

Rumored Specs and Features

Nothing has been confirmed and we all are basing it through the reported leaks. The images of Huawei Ascend P6 shows that the phone will be one of the slimmest in the market and will come with volume rockers and two SIM card slots located on the right side of the phone. If the rumors are true, below are some of the features consumers may expect.

• 6.2 mm Thickness
• Capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors
• Emotion UI 1.6
• Dolby Mobile Plus sound enhancement
• 32 GB, 2 GB RAM Internal storage
• 64 GB microSD supported expansion
• 13 MP Primary camera with 4032 x 3224 pixels, autofocus, and LED flash
• Android OS, v4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)

Huawei Facing Success and Setbacks

Huawei are selling great phones and it is not impossible that they can rival Samsung, Sony, and HTC in the future with their fast product development. Since last year, they have been working phones to set  world records, and their phones features are really competitive. Recently, the Chinese hardware manufacturer made a news in the tech industry by emerging third in the global market share of smartphone sales behind Samsung and Apple. On the other hand, despite the global success, Huawei is still struggling to penetrate the U.S market, facing repetitive denials for market access, allegations of  being a threat to US national security, and not so interested wireless carriers. Nevertheless, its products are becoming big success in other markets including the UK. We can just expect that the launch of P6 will bring more positive PR for Huawei.

• Voice calling feature
• 2MP camera, 0.3 front camera with Face Recognition feature
• Wifi 802.11 b/g/n
• Bluetooth 2.0
• 3000 mAh battery

User Reviews

The drawback of this capable 7-inch budget tablet is that it doesn’t support 3G. Many users expected dual SIM and 3G but they end up a bit frustrated. The 1.5 processor single core that runs many apps is already good for mid-end gamers and low priced tablet like Halo Speed.

The screen size and display is okay. Others are not so sure whether it supports HD display and HD 1080P video. It is 11.2mm thick and weighs 345 grams. Many are not impressed with the camera. It may contain LED flash but the 2MP will not get you covered. It also poor for Video chat with no good background lights. So, if you wish to use video chat feature through the Halo Speed front-facing camera, better get a well-lighted background.

The expandable memory could be a good option but the battery hardly lasts for one day. The internet and connectivity is good for the priced Rs. 6,990 in India.

All in all Halo Speed is an excellent pick for users who are seeking to just enjoy the entertainment through a very affordable handy device. Then, Swipe Halo Speed 7-inch tablet becomes a great choice.

Last February, Huawei introduced the “the world’s fastest smartphone” with Huawei Ascend P2 at the box. Few days from now, it will be available for users in UK and other countries for them to enjoy a differentiated mobile experience when it comes to faster connection speed. Last year, the Chinese manufacturer started its world-title attempts by bringing  the world’s first slimmest smartphones in the faces of Ascend P1 S and Ascend D Quad. Though the title “slimmest” has been snatched by othe phone producers, still the “world’s fastest” title remains.

The P2 Difference

Ascend P2 will run Android Jelly Bean (v. 4.1.2) operating system and built with Huawei’s Emotion 1.5 user interface (UI). Emotion UI for allows easier file sharing and phone customization. It is wrapped in an 8.4mm super-thin frame fronted by 4.7” HD (1280 x 720) “Infinity” touchscreen protected by tough second-generation Corning Gorilla Glass. It’s bright screen is crisp and responsive with Huawei Magic Touch. Magic Touch is another impressive feature that allows users to tap, swipe or poke the screen even wearing thick gloves.

Speed-wise Smartphone

It is the lone smartphone to date with a cutting-edge version of 4G that is set to deliver 150Mbps download speeds. In the UK however, the phone will be too fast for its 4G network. EE only offers maximum speed of 80Mbps.

Cutting-edge Smart Phone Technology

Users will not be disappointed with Huawei’s newly launched smartphone. The super-slim yet durable screen is fantastic, offering extraordinary visual experience. The main camera boasts powerful photography supporting 13 MP featuring High-dynamic-range imaging (HDR).

And despite the kitchen customizations, the Archos ChefPad can still operate like a regular tablet through which you can surf the web or play favorite games.

Meanwhile, it was reported that Archos will be having categories such as drinks, recipes, shopping, cooking TV, and many others. But the certain thing for now is the suggested retail cost of the Archos ChefPad which is £149.99 or around $232 based on the Archos site, but other sources noted that it will be available in June for $210. And this is the overview of its features that can probably justify the price:

• Large 9.7 inch and 4:3 ratio screen that is said best for ideal size of apps and videos

Key Features

Similar to the Xperia Z, this new version is also waterproof and dust-resistant, but its waterproof feature can be said even more awesome because the phone can last up to 30 minutes when submerged in 1.5 m of fresh water, and becomes lighter as the rear cover is now plastic unlike the glass of the other one. Its longer resistant is possible because it is an IP55 and IP58 compliant and the camera becomes more useful as the user can now shoot Full HD videos or take pictures under water even if the phone screen is locked.

That is really amazing because Sony is featuring the “Exmor RS for mobile” image sensor with High Dynamic Range for videos and photos to capture any action faster regardless of the condition and have unlimited number of images with 15 frames each second by simply turning on the burst mode. Not only that because the Xperia ZR also has Battery STAMINA Mode that can enhance the standby time of the phone by four times or more and it comes in classic and unique colors such as white, black, mint, and pink to fit the varying preferences of users. Meanwhile, the following are the summary of the features of Sony Xperia ZR:

• Waterproof and dust-resistant through IP55 and IP58

• Fast capture 13MP camera with HDR and “Exmor RS for mobile”

• Excellent battery life with Battery STAMINA Mode

• Sharp viewing with 4.6” HD Reality Display that has Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2

• Better smart phone performance with 2GB RAM of Qualcomm Snapdragon™ S4 Pro quad-core 1.5 GHz processor

Specifications

It is noteworthy that the Xperia ZR somehow follows the design of Xperia Z but without the premium materials and slim lines to make it more waterproof. And it also appears to be the same with Sony’s ZL with 10.4mm-thick plastic body and the sensor of the 13MP rear camera is said to be like the one used on Xperia Z that is primarily designed for underwater videos and photos. Further it has 4.6″ screen that has “Reality Display” marketing tag with 720p panel and its colors include white, pink, black, and mint. Other specifications include the 8GB storage phone memory with MicroSD that can expand up to 32GB and 2GB of RAM functioning with1.5Ghz quad-core Snapdragon Pro processor and NFC sharing functions in the video.

With the given features and specifications, it seems that Calum MacDougall, director of Xperia marketing at Sony is correct by saying that the “Xperia ZR pushes the boundaries on where and how consumers can use the full potential of their smartphone.”

Samsung Claims Data Transmission Innovation

Samsung‘s claim may have surprised tech geeks and telecommunication big-wigs out there. On the other hand, the report should not be surprising. Technology innovates almost daily, and with the competition among tech giants, many may just shake their heads upon hearing a news that one business is starting to fund a 6G research.

5G mobile communications technology will be the successor of 4G LTE networks. Samsung claims that the technology can offer data transmission speed tens of GPBS ever base station. Once it is commercialized it will allow subscribers to transmit large volumes of data including HD videos, 3D movies and games, remote medical services, and other ultra-high-definition (UHD) content over long range of distances to span up to 1.2 miles (2 kilometers).

Ultra-Fast Internet Speed

Samsung’s success in developing an adaptive array transceiver was seen to be the clear solution to overcome the limitations of transmitting data over long distances. The Millimeter-Wave Transceiver Technologies for 5G Cellular Networks was secured by the South Korean telecom mogul and it is the innovative tool to signal a new era for mobile communications. The 5G transmission speed would mean that it will be possible for an entire 640MB CD to be downloaded in 5 seconds, or a standard 4GB DVD in 30 minutes. In such fast speed, user experience will be better than what the 4G LTE offers.

The University of Surrey, Centre for Communications Systems Research (CCSR) in the UK spearheads the research of the reported ultra sophisticated communication technology. It has £35m in funding and would employ 130 researchers and 90 PhD students to complete the project aiming to be the forefront of technology in a fast-moving and interconnected world.

Not Only Samsung

Professor Rahim Tafazolli, the head of the 5G efforts suggests that the endeavor will not be easy. Even the latest development in mobile communication will be used, its role will only be a small part of the larger picture. However, it is not only Samsung to entirely fund the project, other telecommunication giants are also lending a hand, working together with Huawei Technologies, Fujitsu Laboratories and the United Kingdom government.

This project when successfully completed may be a total feat in our generation. Users have long years to wait though since 2020 is still 7 years far.
