Huawei hasn't been in the news as much lately regarding their smartphone push, but a new device has apparently leaked a few times and was even mentioned by their own CSO, which is supposedly coming soon. The Huawei Honor was decent back in 2011, but after a few changes the all-new Honor 3 looks to take on Samsung and others in the Chinese market.

The International Data Corporation (IDC) has published their latest report, this time taking a look at smartphone and feature shipments for the first quarter of 2013. While we are looking at the same vendor names as we have seen in past reports, we have seen some other interesting tidbits in terms where the smartphone market is heading as a whole. To begin with, despite what the IDC is calling a "seasonably slow first quarter" there was still a 4 percent growth in the overall mobile phone market.

Samsung is now topping the charts in China. The company recently moved into the number one position in terms of the smartphone market in China. Of course, with some of the recent reports dealing with Samsung, the fact that they are now topping the chart in China comes with a bit less in terms of surprise. More to the point here, will we see the Samsung share increase with the upcoming March 14 announcement?

Huawei Ascend G300 coming to Vodafone for just £100

By Michael Crider

What can you get for a hundred quid? If you're a Vodafone customer or intend to switch, you can get a pretty respectable Gingerbread phone. The Huawei Ascend G300 will launch on the UK carrier on April 13th for £100, or starting at £15.50 a month when bought in conjunction with a data contract . While nowhere near as powerful as some of the latest high-end phones, it's got a set of features that puts it squarely in the mid-range for a price that was previously reserved for small and generally weak smartphones.

In case you've been living under a rock for the last three months, the biggest mobile-themed trade show of the season starts next week in Barcelona, Spain. Mobile World Congress brings together manufacturers, partners and media from all over the world to sample the latest and hopefully greatest in phone and tablet hardware. It's at least as big a deal as CES for those of us who focus on the mobile side of the tech world, so Android Community will be there live to cover it all. But before we leave on a jet plane, we're counting down all the things you should be expecting at the show. Here's a preview of MWC:

Android distribution: Gingerbread gains slightly, ICS breaks the 1% mark

By Michael Crider
on 2 Feb, 2012

When last we saw Google's official numbers for the distribution of Android versions among the 250,000,000 devices out there, Android 4.0 made its debut with just .6% of measured devices. One month later the number of Ice Cream Sandwich phones and tablets has almost doubled! ...which is a nicer thing to say than "it's got a whole percent of devices." Between the handful of official releases of ICS, one in every hundred Android devices is running the latest software version. Not great, but not unexpected just ten weeks after its open-source debut.

Huawei Honor spotted at the FCC with AT&T bands

By Michael Crider
on 1 Feb, 2012

One of Huawei's most popular mid-range phones, the Honor (also known as the Glory, or the Mercury on Cricket) may soon be headed to AT&T. The phone was spotted going through the storied halls of the Federal Communications Commission, seeking certification for a US release. The phone had radios compatible with AT&T's 3G and HSPA+ bands. As always with FCC filings, that doesn't necessarily mean it's coming to any particular carrier - phones are often certified for the benefit of showing them off to potential partners.

Official Ice Cream Sandwich build leaks for Samsung Nexus S 4G

By Michael Crider
on 31 Jan, 2012

Nexus S owners were among the first to get an official update to Ice Cream Sandwich, direct from the source at Google - at least, those with the GSM model were. Owners of the CDMA-equipped Nexus S 4G have had to be content with community ROMs and other unofficial fare ever since December (and boy, haven't they let us know). Good news, Nexus faithful: a leaked ROM of Android 4.0 made its way to XDA in the wee hours of the morning. It appears to be the real McCoy, even sporting Android 4.04 - which isn't even part of the official source code yet.
