Huawei U8800 Ideos X5 gets Gingerbread

Huawei has definitely been stepping up its game when it comes to Android devices. This year they managed to release an impressive mid-level phone: the Huawei Honor and it even recently pushed out a “demo” version of Ice Cream Sandwich for the phone. However, not everything it’s been doing is great so far – i.e. the Gingerbread update for the Ideos X5. Promised to arrive back in November, the update has finally made its way over to the handset, a few days before the year ends.

Since Gingerbread is over a year old, let’s hope it doesn’t face the same delay when it comes to receiving Ice Cream Sandwich – assuming Huawei releases it for the phone. The update is only available for the original Ideos X5 at the moment – owners of the rebadged version (Titan in the UK) will probably have to wait awhile longer. Head over to Huawei’s website to get your hands on the Ideos X5 Gingerbread update.
