Huawei Ascend P1 LTE hands-on

Huawei Ascend P1 LTE handson

We’ve had the unexpected early opportunity to try what should be a production-grade Huawei Ascend P1 LTE — early enough that the phone has yet to formally ship to its initial carrier. While we’ve seen hints of the 4G model towards the start of the year, what’s landing in our hands is at least different than devices like the original Ascend P1, P1 S and P1 XL; months of extra engineering time, the LTE chipset and that bigger 2,000mAh battery have clearly had an effect. But by how much? Read on past the break for a quick tour of the refreshed design.

Huawei Ascend P1 LTE set for North America debut

Another day, another smartphone hits the FCC, where this time around it would be the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE that has undergone testing over by the folks over at the FCC. This spanking new FCC filing does seem towards North America as the destination of choice, where a particular version of the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE has been cleared, where we know that it will come with the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system in tow, not to mention AT&T-friendly 700MHz LTE frequencies. Throw in AWS support and you can also introduce it to LTE providers in Canada alongside future T-Mobile, or should we say MetroPCS, deployments.

Other than that, AWS-based 3G, 850MHz and 1,900MHz approvals for North American HSPA providers are also part of the deal. It goes without saying that the Ascend P1 LTE looks set to cater for a wide range of mobile providers if it ever makes its way across the pond, and Huawei is certainly not one who puts all of their eggs in a single basket where the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE is concerned.

Huawei Ascend P1 LTE takes a tour through the FCC with AT&Tcapable 4G

Huawei hinted last week that the Ascend P1 LTE would travel beyond British shores; it just didn’t say where. Based on a new FCC filing, North America is sounding like a good (if very broad) destination. The regulator has cleared a version of the Android 4.0 hardware packing AT&T-friendly 700MHz LTE frequencies as well as AWS support that could suit it to Canadian LTE providers and future T-Mobile deployments. We’ve likewise noticed AWS-based 3G join the usual 850MHz and 1,900MHz approvals for North American HSPA providers. With such broad coverage, it’s difficult to narrow down just the exact carriers that could embrace the Ascend P1 LTE if it launches on this side of the Atlantic. Whatever the choices, it’s clear that Huawei is hedging its bets.
