Huawei breaks out two new smartphones, including world's thinnest

Huawei has announced two new smartphones, the Ascend P1 S and the Ascend P1. They will be unveiling them at CES at 8 a.m. PST (we'll be there live blogging!)

The Ascend P1 S will be the world's thinnest smartphone, measuring in at 6.68 mm thin. The P1 is the same phone, just a tad thicker (most likely for the LTE markets).

The specs for the P1/P1 S sound very intruguing:

  • 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD (960 x 540)
  • 1.5 GHz dual-core processor
  • Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
  • 8MP rear camera with 1080p recording
  • 1.3MP front-facing camera with 720p recording
  • Bluetooth 3.0
  • 1GB RAM
  • 4GB ROM
  • Quadband (GSM/GPRS/EDGE)
  • Pentaband (UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA)

The phones will be available in a plethora of colors including metallic black, ceramic white and cherry-blossom pink. They will be available in Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, the Middle East and China in Q2 2012 at the earliest.

These phones definitely sound interesting. Stay tuned for our live-blog at 8 am PST for more!
