Huawei goes to Germany and announces the Ascend G 615, a quad-core mid-range smartphone with a 4.5-inch 720p IPS display.
It carries a 1.4GHz processor, 2150mAh battery, 1GB RAM and 8GB built-in storage (expandable via microSD slot), as well as 1.3MP front- and 8MP rear-facing cameras.
The OS of choice is Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), but Huawei says a Jelly Bean update will be available from March 2013.

Galaxy Note too big? Galaxy S III Mini too small? Samsung hopes it has all customer preferences covered with yet another smartphone size-- the 5-inch Galaxy Grand.
The Grand's TFT LCD touchscreen might be (err) grand in size, but it does not impress-- not 800 x 480 resolution. In comparison both Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II display resolutions clock at 1280x720.
