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 does seem as though this particular device will arrive with an upgraded version of the quad-core K3V2 Cortex A9 that can be found in the predecessor, the Ascend P6. Apart from that, this processor could deliver better performance and lower power consumption thanks to the 28nm manufacturing process that was used for the manufacturing of the processor, alongside a 1.6GHz clock speed. There is also 16GB of internal memory, being 3mm thicker overall compared to the Ascend P6. You will be able to expand upon the internal memory using a microSD memory card slot, where it will be topped off with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Huawei’s very own Emotion UI 1.6 skin. Hopefully what the Huawei President mentioned will eventually come true. Would you want to pick up the Huawei Ascend P6S when it finally arrives?

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, he has recently confirmed that the Ascend P6 will be getting a successor in the form of the Ascend P6S that will feature a true octa-core processor which will be powered by MediaTek.

As it stands Samsung has their own octa-core chipset, but instead of all eight cores used at once, Samsung instead relies on the big.LITTLE technology which essentially swaps between 2 sets of four cores, with one set being a less powerful version that is used to accomplish less demanding tasks, while the more powerful set will be used when more power is needed. No word on pricing or availability of the Huawei Ascend P6S, but with CES 2014 and MWC 2014 taking place early next year, perhaps we will find out more then.

Remember the other day Huawei took the wraps off the Ascend W2 Windows Phone device? Well if you wanted to see the phone in action, Huawei has since posted a new video on YouTube in which some of the features of the Ascend W2 are revealed and shared. For example the handset is shown off in a multitude of colors, and interestingly enough, albeit novel, the capacitive buttons on the bottom of the phone will actually sync with the color of the phone, which we have to say is pretty cool. The video also shows off how the super sensitive touchscreen and also takes us through a brief walkthrough of the Windows Phone operating system.

The Ascend W2 is not the highest end Windows Phone handset at the moment. The device will feature a 4.3” IPS WVGA LCD display (it’s not even HD), a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.4GHz, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of onboard storage, and a camera that will be able to capture 720p HD video. Pricing and availability remain unknown at this point in time, but if you’re interested in what looks like it will most likely be a budget handset, be sure to check out the promotional video above for more details.

It would appear that we’ve got a bit of a rarity going on this quarter for phone and smartphone shipments across the world according to the IDC. This device tracker seeks out shipment numbers, you should keep in mind, not smartphone and non-smartphone sales, so you’re not seeing the end result, just the part of […]

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 is able to spy on customers.

This particular statement was released at a time when it has been seen to be a security risk by the American government for its supposed ties to the Chinese government. This is not the first country to have such concerns, as slightly more than a year ago, we did bring you word that Canada themselves are mulling over the possibility of banning Huawei device because of security worries and potential issues. Other major tech companies that are also involved in allegations of colluding with its government to spy on customers, including Microsoft, Google, Facebook and other tech giants, did also issue somewhat similar statements themselves, reassuring the masses that they are not being spied upon by the National Security Agency. Who can we believe these days?
