Huawei Brags That Its Ascend P2 Is World’s Fastest 4G Phone (But That Still Won’t Get the Punters In)

Huawei could add a waffle-maker to its Ascend P2, and I doubt even that would be enough to pull people over to its side of the phone stores. Unlike the Ascend D2 unveiled at CES, there's no 3,000mAh battery lurking here (you'll have to "make do" with a 2420 one), but there's a CAT 4LTE chipset, meaning 4G speeds can reach 150Mbps (the iPhone 5 and S3 LTE only have CAT 3, FYI).

This Is Apparently What the HTC M7 Flagship Phone Will Look Like

According to Evleaks, on UnwiredView, this is a render from a start-up video for the much-rumoured HTC M7. The new flagship will apparently pack a 4.7-inch 1080p screen, along with a 1.7GHz quad-core chip backed by 2GB of RAM and LTE.
