Huawei S7 Slim tablet and Ideos X3 phone to appear at MWC11

Huawei are not exactly known for their cellphone business but traditionally, they like to have a go at the smartphone market with a device or two under their own brand. This year it's a smartphone and a tablet.

Expected to make an appearance at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in a few days, the Huawei S7 Slim tablet, as its name suggests is a slimmer and fitter version of the Huawei S7 tablet we covered last summer.

As for the Huawei Ideos X3, the details about it are equally scarce, but it seems to be aiming at the mid-range smartphone market, unlike its bigger brothers, the Ideos X5 and Ideos X6. The X3 will come in four color flavors ? red, blue, black and silver.

We don't know for sure whether the S7 Slim will run Honeycomb or the Ideos 3 - Gingerbread. As expected, we don't have any availability or pricing info on those two.

Not-blurry photos of Samsung Galaxy S 4G for T-Mobile appear

New photos of T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy S 4G give us a better look at the phone - and you shouldn't be surprised to hear it looks almost exactly like the Vibrant. It's similar on the inside too, save for the faster mobile data connectivity and a couple of other goodies.

The Samsung Galaxy S 4G is part of the Galaxy S line (the name really gives it away) but it uses an HSPA+ chipset capable of 21Mbps speeds. T-Mobile is calling it 4G, even though that's not technically true.

A video call camera graces the front of the Galaxy S 4G, which was omitted from the Samsung Vibrant. The regular I9000 Galaxy S does have a secondary camera though.

Anyway, another noticeable change seems to be the color of the back - it looks matte brown instead of piano black with a blue dots "galactic" pattern. This may be the fastest way to tell the Galaxy S 4G and the Vibrant apart.

The rest of the insides are unchanged from the mainline Galaxy S. Still, the Galaxy S 4G in the photos reportedly ran Android 2.2 Froyo, which may be the OS version at launch. The launch is slated for 23 February according to leaked slides. The first official announcement was vague at best.
