Huawei Ascend D Quad with Android ICS Officially Coming to the UK

[dgstorm]

Our UK members will soon get a chance to try out the quad-core beast, the Ascend D Quad, from the Chinese company Huawei. The company said that the Ascend D Quad would “absolutely” be available to British customers, without giving any specifics on when that might happen. Rumors suggest July for a global launch. Here's a recap of specs:

• Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
• 4.5 inch IPS display with 1280 x 720 pixels
• 1.2GHz custom quad-core processor developed by Huawei itself
• 1GB of RAM
• Dolby Mobile 3.0 Plus sound
• 1.3MP front-facing camera
• 8MP backside illuminated rear camera

There has not been a lot of info released regarding Huawei as a manufacturer (at least in international markets), and there is a common misconception that they are a low-end, small tier OEM. In actuality, they are one of the largest manufacturer's in China and are backed by the Chinese government. Their phones could actually be of top-tier quality. Knowing that, would any of you guys consider a phone from this manufacturer if they came to your country?
