There has been a handful of Huawei P6 leaks in recent history, most of which were touching on the thinness of the handset.

That is not to say you shouldn't test the game yourself, but our experience was not all that great and to make sure we were not alone in those thoughts, we checked the current Play Store comments.

We were expecting Verizon Wireless to announce the HTC One during their CTIA 'special event' yesterday and instead got to watch Jennifer Lopez announce Viva Movil. Given the steady stream of Verizon HTC One rumors that we have been seeing, it almost feels like stating the obvious when we say the Viva Movil announcement was a disappointment for some. That is not to say Viva Movil is a disappointment, but just that plenty of people seem to be waiting for a Verizon branded One.
