Huawei A199 Is A Mid-End Jelly Bean Phone For China

Chinese Huawei had released its flagship devices, including the Ascend D2 and Mate this year but that didn’t stop the company from unveiling another 5-inch device, the A199. It shares similar specs with Ascend D2 including its display size, the quad-core K3V2 CPU 1.5Ghz, a RAM at 2Gb, a 720p IPS display, a microSD slot (32Gb max capacity). Internal storage can reach 8GB while the running OS is Android’s latest Jelly Bean (Android 4.1).

The externals include an 8MP rear camera and a 1.3MP front-facing camera while power is provided by a 2,150mAh battery inside the 0.35 inch-thick device with a weight of 160g or 5.6 ounces. Because of its dual-SIM support particularly with CDMA/GSM/EV-DO which are popular in emerging markets and China, the smartphone could be headed to these areas in due time except in China where it is already expected to go on sale in a week’s time. But a U.S. bound A199 in the near future might have a different name and covering, that is, if guessing is alright.

Compared to the previous iterations, the Huawei A199 phone is slimmer with its 8.9mm profile. Even with that common capacitive touch-screen a 720p display is not really bad. Some of the specs are downgrades from the previous iterations but it does not mean the phone is cheap. In fact its dual SIM-support is something that makes it attractive to all and sundry in the emerging markets. No price details have been provided for now.

HTC is on a roll these days with several smartphone models tied on its belt including HTC First, M4 and its flagship device, the One. But that doesn’t stop the Taiwanese company from releasing another handset. Check out the HTC 606W.

Leaked details went live when it was spotted at the Telecommunication Equipment Certification Centre MIIT in China getting regulatory approval. Believed to be China-bound the mid-range Android phone looks like a downgrade version of the HTC One. It has Blue edge piping on the front with stereo speakers similar to the “BoomSound” for the HTC One. Another notable feature is its UltraPixel rear camera that allows more light into the camera sensor to produce high quality images even in low-light conditions.

Looking under the hood, the HTC 606W has a generous amount of specs including a 4.3-inch, 720p touchscreen display, Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) OS, dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, 2GB onboard RAM, 16GB flash storage, 1.6MP front-facing camera, Sense 5 UI, dual soft key in front, microSD expansion support and 1,700mAh battery unit. Using Jelly Bean means it has Google Now, slide-down notification bar and performance boost via Project Butter.

While US residents are waiting for HTC One, the leaked HTC 606W would probably debut in China very soon. No word if the latter will be shipping on Uncle Sam but price is expected to be affordable than the One.
