Reports coming in from Korea suggest that the company might give a glimpse of its bendable tablet in similar fashion at Mobile World Congress 2014.

    Huawei’s Upcoming Smartwatch Gets Pictured

    Huaweis Upcoming Smartwatch Gets PicturedWearable technology seems to be what’s trending these days, and we can expect many such devices to be announced or rumored about this year. That being said, Huawei is said to unveil their own smartwatch at MWC 2014, and now thanks to a recent photo posted by a Huawei official on their Weibo account, we might have our first glimpse at said device. Accompanying the post is a description which reads, “My new toy, do you like this color?” As you can see in the image above, Huawei has decided to go with a more outlandish design for its smartwatch, versus the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Gear and the Pebble smartwatch, both of which feature slightly more “serious” designs.

    In fact based on what we can see, it would seem that Huawei would be trying to appeal to a more fashion-conscious type of customer thanks to its funky and somewhat sporty look, not to mention the baby blue wristband does help the device stand out from the crowd. This is not to say that the design is ugly, it’s just a bit too out there and might not appeal to the more hardcore techie who might prefer something a little more somber, or to the tech-savvy business user who would prefer something less playful. Chances are we will be seeing more color options at MWC 2014, so check back with us next week for the details! In the meantime are you guys digging Huawei’s smartwatch?

    More Nokia Normandy/Nokia X Photos Leaked

    More Nokia Normandy/Nokia X Photos LeakedCome MWC 2014, chances of Nokia unveiling an Android smartphone is pretty high, at least that’s the feeling we’re getting thanks to the barrage of rumors, leaked photos, and a recent webcast invite which seems to suggest that the Nokia Normandy/Nokia X is indeed real and something we can look forward to. Well now thanks to Chinese website, Coolxap, they have managed to get their hands on a handful of photos which are allegedly that of the Nokia Normandy. These photos, unlike previous press renderings, show a more “real life” version of the phone along with what appears to be a forked version of Android running in the background.

    The rumors are claiming that Nokia will be using a forked version of Android for the handset, similar to what Amazon did with the Kindle series of Android tablets. This means that Nokia’s take on Android will be vastly different to what we’ve become accustomed to in the past, and in a way based on what we can see, is reminiscent of the tile layout used by the Windows Phone platform. Apart from that, the handset itself is pretty nondescript and there’s really nothing to shout about in terms of its design. So far according to the rumors, it has been suggested that the Nokia Normandy/Nokia X will pack a 4-inch 800×480 display, a 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor with 512MB of RAM, a 5MP camera, and possibly a 1,500mAh battery. In any case be sure to check back with us during MWC for more coverage.
