Huawei Honor

   Huawei have announced their new Android smartphone. Huawei may not be very well known to common users - only as they are manufacturing operators branded phone (like Vodafone, Orange etc) and their main competitor is ZTE. However in the recent years they started to make phones branded with their name in search for their own place on the market. The Honor packs about the latest technology as you can check below:

-- DISPLAY: 4-inch capacitive touch 480 x 854 pixels screen

-- CPU:  1.4 GHz processor.

-- MEMORY:  512 MB RAM.

-- STORAGE:  4GB for internal, microSD card slot up to 32GB.

-- CAMERA:  Primary - 8 MP camera, video recording up to 720p.

Secondary - 2 MP, video chat, video calling.

-- CONNECTIVITY:  3G, HSDPA, HSUPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, micro-USB, 3.5 mm headphone jack, A-GPS.

-- BATTERY:  Li-Po 1900 mAh

-- MULTIMEDIA:  touch sensitive buttons.

-- OS:  Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, Adobe Flash support.

-- APPLICATIONS:  Google Apps, social networking.

   Their announcement is very poor in giving more details like what type of display has (AMOLED or LCD). The phone does not look bad and we hope they will release more information soon.

   Samsung have announced Today their new and first Windows Phone 7 Mango smartphone - the Omnia W. The device has an elegant and simple design with a Super AMOLED 3.7 inches screen. The display and 5 MP camera are making it a middle range Windows phone. 

   Most important technical details are:

   I like the Windows applications such as the cloud service which offers 25 GB free storage through Skydrive and the office documents editing through Office Hub. What I do not understand at Windows phones is why most of these do not have a micro-SD card support. Samsung Omnia W will be available in Europe starting with end of October.
