The Huawei Ascend D3 will be Huawei’s first flagship phone for a very long time. Rumours say the device will mix the pure power for previous ‘D’ series phones with the elegance of the Ascend P6. Huawei are keeping details of the phone tightly under wraps, but from leaks we have leaned that the Huawei Ascend D3 will have a 1.8Ghz octacore processor using ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture, a 16 mega-pixel main camera, 4.9-inch 1080 display and measure just 6.3mm!

Nice list Andi, thanks.
Pleasure! glad you liked it 🙂
A good list for what’s coming. Can I suggest an ‘always up-to-date which phone to buy NOW’ article for those of us who can’t keep the pulse that often? 🙂
About US support, did you consider that 4G LTE is not used for voice calls yet (noone launched Voice over LTE networks or phones yet except maybe South Korea, and I doubt Chinese phones support it either?). So a Chinese phone that happen to support one LTE band in the US but maybe doesn’t even support the GSM frequencies (and certainly not 3G) can be used for little more than a broadband modem.
You should probably write about LTE support for Europe instead, as the phones will be usable as actual phones there too… The overlap between Chinese phones and LTE bands in the rest of the world is quite slim though.

if it haves not SD CARD suport, a phone SHOULD NOT be part of any top 10..
..my opinion at least..
just some guesses:
10 out of 10 phones on this list are not available at the moment
10 out of 10 phones on this list do not have dual-sim
10 of 10 phones on this list are more expensive for european customers than compareable phones for the european market?
Corrrect!
and have not sd card… 🙂
I was wondering about the dual sim and sdcard as well. Without those it doesn’t matter if it has LTE, it is of no use to me!
Huawei Mate 2 will be in europe no doubt,as for dual sim AND LTE you have to wait for mt6595 octa to appear.
Jeah, I just wanted to point out, that this list is virtually worthless because you cannot recommend smartphones which no one has ever used for the simply fact they are not even available at the moment
It is not an “available now” list,he writes those separately. It’s more of a “latest” list.

As nice as LTE support would be for the NA market, as of right now, it is MUCH more pressing, to finally get worldwide 5+ band 3G UMTS/HSPA+42 support, including the here essential bands 5 (850MHz), 4(AWS) (1700+2100MHz) and 2(PCS) (1900MHz), so that China phones actually become useful on this continent as well and not only in EMEA and the Pacific realm.
So PLEASE add those crucial bits in all your future China phone announcements/reviews/introductions!
Huawei Honor 2 is pentaband WCDMA since over a year already. It’s still receiving updates, has 2GB RAM, 8GB storage, quadcore, HD screen, MicroSD-slot, replacable battery and now at around $200 it’s a much better buy than most other Chinese phones as long as you don’t need dual-SIM.
By the way, most Samsung and other big brand phones doesn’t have pentaband WCDMA.
can you give me another brand/model that has AWS (1700 + 2100) ?
Thanks
Lenovo K910

thanks for the list Andy!
thanks for the list Andy!
Andi, thanks for the list. I am excited about the Chinese manufacturers moving into the U.S. market in a more significant way. I believe that it will result in the loosening of the death grip that carriers have on the consumer here. And will hopefully drive us to realize that everything that we have and do here is not always the best, even though millions of advertising dollars tell us otherwise. It amazes me how Americans look down our noses at anything that we can’t satiate our need for instant gratification with. Apple moves a volumn switch half a millimeter and tells us how awesome their NEW model is, and we break our necks to go out and get it right
Away, while we bad mouth those foreign phones that aren’t disabled with proprietary tampering and loaded with bloatware. Truly Amazing!

I bought an Elephone P6000, but it doesn’t work on the T-Mobile 4G network. My internet speed with the T-Mobile sim is 0.08Mbs. I cant do anything with it unless i’m on wifi. The add stated that it goes up to 2100Mhz. Why doesn’t it work and how can i fix it to work? I live in US
There is two 2100MHz bands, one is called AWS band (T-Mobile is there) and other is IMT band. They have same downlink frequencies of 2100MHz but uplink frequencies are different. When you buy phone be sure it states “Band 4” not only “2100MHz” since that may be wrong 2100

You can use the site above to see what sort of coverage to expect with any phone. It seems that most of the Chinese phones only get 2G speeds.
thanks! yeah, cant find anything really!
Check out gearbest.com. Do a search for global phones, they seem to have a better selection lately.
