11/20/2013, The Huawei P6S is one upcoming smartphone that has more or less remained shrouded in mystery. Why do we say so? For starters, there were whispers, no less by the Huawei president himself who has confirmed that the Huawei Ascend P6S will arrive with an octa-core processor, only to have some leaked specifications of said handset revealed later on that do not point to an octa-core processor. This is definitely […]

11/19/2013, It does seem to be a case of conflicting signals here, as we did hear about the upcoming Huawei Ascend P6S to arrive with an octa-core processor according to the Huawei president, Xu Xin Quan. Apparently, that does not seem to be the case according to the most recent leak of the Huawei Ascend P6S’ specifications as there was not a single sign that pointed to an octa-core CPU. It […]

11/17/2013, Most phones these days are of the quad-core variety, and are usually running either Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 chipset, NVIDIA’s Tegra 4, or Samsung’s Exynos 5-series (these are usually exclusive for Samsung’s products). However it seems that we might be able to look forward to an octa-core phone from Huawei in the near future, as it was recently confirmed by the company’s president himself. According to Huawei President, Xu Xin Quan, […]

11/15/2013, The Huawei Ascend P6, a smartphone which was first released to the masses sometime in the middle of this year, did arrive with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean in tow back then. However, all was not all peaches and cream with the Huawei Ascend P6 after its launch. Since the handset came in an extremely slim form factor, the older generation quad-core processor that ran under the hood found it difficult […]

10/21/2013, Huawei, the China-based company that rolls out networking products as well as smartphones among others, has stepped forward with a denial that they happen to manufacture spy phones for the current government in China. Recently, Huawei did write in a cybersecurity paper where they mentioned that they have never been ordered by the Chinese government in order to make use of its smartphones or telecom equipment so that the government […]

10/07/2013, The other day it was rumored that Microsoft had asked HTC to consider whether they would be willing to create a dual-booting device that would run both Android and Windows Phone at the same time. It was an interesting idea and it seems that HTC was not the only ones Microsoft had approached. According to new reports, Microsoft has approached their other Windows Phone OEMs such as Samsung and Huawei, […]

10/02/2013, [CEATEC 2013] You can never quite tell just when an accident or disaster is going to happen, and I am referring to the ones on a personal scale, such as your kid disappearing in the midst of a large crowd simply because you took your eyes off him or her for a split second. The world is no longer the safe place that we know of more than half a […]

09/27/2013, When it comes to measuring how well a smartphone or tablet does, a variety of benchmarks are used. In fact over at UberGizmo we frequently rely on benchmarks to see how well some devices hold up against the competition, or how well a device performs when asked to execute a particular task. In any case it looks like in the near future we can look forward to a new benchmark […]

09/15/2013, When Microsoft announced their plans to acquire Nokia, they undoubtedly and understandably made a lot of their OEM partners nervous. What would the fate of Windows Phone be? Would Microsoft make it an exclusive platform and follow in Apple’s footsteps where they would control the hardware and software from start to end? Well Microsoft reassured that wouldn’t happen, and Huawei, one of their partners, reaffirmed they would continue making Windows […]

09/12/2013, The folks over at @evleaks have done it yet again, as they snagged what seems to be a press shot – both the front and the back, of the Huawei Vitria smartphone. It will obviously be an Android-powered device from what we can tell, since the front snapshot shows off the classic Google search bar, and more importantly, the Play Store icon that is located on the bottom right hand […]

09/12/2013, It was just last week that Microsoft announced their plans to acquire Nokia’s cellphone business, and if the deal concludes successfully, Microsoft would have access to their own smartphone manufacturer and could in theory do away with the rest of their OEMs, such as HTC, Samsung, and Huawei. While Microsoft has not announced anything like that, it is understandable that OEMs are a little concerned about their future, just like […]

09/05/2013, Microsoft announced earlier this week that it has acquired Nokia’s phone business. This lead many analysts to speculate about the future of struggling phone manufacturers such as BlackBerry and HTC. BlackBerry has already formed a special committee to look into a possible sale of the company, though it is believed that there hasn’t been any interest in a whole acquisition of the company as yet. It was rumored earlier today […]
