Huawei Ideos X6 and X6 Unveiled

Tweet

Chinese manufacturer Huawei was in the news this week after their low-cost Huawei Ideos smartphone that they unveiled at IFA in Berlin was spied on T-Mobile US as the T-Mobile Comet. The folks at Huawei are back at it again, this time, with some more powerful Android phones.

The first phone is the Ideos X6, which is sort of awesome. It’s a slate-style device with a 4.1-inch display, a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 2GB of flash storage and a 5MP camera. And it’s running Android 2.2. As you can see above, it’s definitely got a Droid X thing going on up there.

The Ideos X5 is very similar, with the only difference being that it’s got the traditional “iPhone-size” screen of 3.8-inches. As far as we can tell, the processor and memory numbers are all the same.

Both phones are said to be available by the end of the year. You’ve got to wonder if we’ll see these phones in the United States, and if we do – what will they be called? Huawei isn’t a brand name, so a carrier would likely re-brand the name of the phone to something else (this is a position HTC was in not too long ago), like T-Mobile did by renaming the first Ideos to the Comet.

Do these phones do anything for you? Do you think they could sell in the United States if branded as the “AT&T Avenger” or something?
