So it looks like Cherry Mobile is not the only one to bring out an affordable 4.1″, 1GHz Snapdragon, Android 2.2 powered smartphone to the market. Huawei launched the
Ideos X6 and should be out in Hong Kong first before landing to the Philippines.
The
Huawei Ideos X6 is basically the same, exact phone as the one recently launched
Cherry Mobile Magnum HD.
We’re all familiar with Huawei as they manufacture a lot of telco devices like USB dongles, the MiFi and WiMax modems we’ve seen with Globe, Smart and Sun.
What’s un-clear is if they manufactured this phone by themselves or just licensed it from another OEM just like what Cherry Mobile did. I’m leaning towards the latter. In any case, at least we know this particular model has some reliable genealogy {
