Chinese-based firm Huawei unveiled Huawei Ascend D Quad at the Mobile World Congress 2012 introducing it as the fastest smartphone in the market. The phone was not released in the market as yet. However, according to the recent reports Huawei has announced the release of three Android smartphones including Ascend D Quad and D Quad XL by end of August this year.

Talking about specs, Huawei Ascend D Quad has dimensions of 129 x 64 x 8.9 mm and weighs around 130gram. It also has a 4.5-inch screen with 1280 x 720 pixels touchscreen OLED display.

This smartphone features Huawei's own K3V2 processor, clocked at 1.2/1.5GHz, 1000 MB of RAM, and 8MP rear camera. It also has 1,800mAh battery which enables the device to work 30 percent faster as compared to average smartphones. The Ascend D Quad also has the usual connectivity options which include HSDPA, HSUPA, Bluetooth, and WLAN. As for its OS, it will utilize the latest Android version which is Android 4.0 or Android ICS.

So here, it would be basically the Quad-Core battle between Huawei and Samsung, where the Chinese company would make an attempt to take head on against the highly popular Samsung Galaxy S3, with what it is claiming to have the fastest processor feature.

On the other hand, Huawei Ascend D quad XL will be released powered by a Quad-core 1.5GHz processor and loaded with 2500mAh battery. The other specs would include, 4.5-inch, IPS+ LCD, capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, 3G, EDGE/GPRS and Wi-Fi capabilities for net access, GPS with A-GPS support, Bluetooth with A2DP and USB 2.0, 8MP camera, 3264 x 2448 pixels, autofocus, dual-LED flash, front camera – 1.3MP, FM radio and 8GB Internal memory, expandable up to 32GB via microSD.

Hence, it can be said that Samsung is not alone to pepper up the market with its next-gen offering. There are others on the showground too. And these Android smartphone manufacturers are prepping up with their latest flagship devices to rival straightforwardly against Galaxy S3 and others.
