A Chinese mobile phone manufacturer, Huawei, has said that it has a big plan for the Nigerian market in 2013.

The Managing Director, West Africa, Huawei, Mr. Tony Liang, in a statement on Monday, said the company would introduce to the Nigerian market in 2013 new range of Android powered smartphones.

Liang said the Nigerian subsidiary of the company, Huawei Technologies Nigeria, would unveil the Ascend D Quad XL smartphone for Nigerian consumers.

According to him, the smartphone boasts of a powerful quad-core internal processor, which is exceptional for any device in its class with a processing speed of 1.5GHz.

He said, “The smartphone is equipped with a 4.5-inch display with a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution and a pixel density of approximately 326 pixels-per-inch.

“The IPS+ screen is truly a sight to be seen and in some cases beats its Android competition such as the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S III. The display is bright and vibrant.”

He added that the phone had 1GB of RAM, a microSD slot, MHL connectivity, DLNA support, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, an 8-megapixel rear shooter and a 2,600 mAh battery.

According to him, the Ascend D Quad XL runs on the latest Android 4 operating system with an additional benefit of long battery life.

Liang said, “The Ascend D Quad XL’s irremovable battery is able to deliver enough juice for a full day’s use under normal circumstances like checking emails, updating status, sending text messages and making the occasional phone call. However, when pushing the device to the limits with high-intensity games and frequent usage, the Ascend D Quad XL was still able to deliver impressive results of more than 10 hours of battery life.”

The Ascend Quad D XL seems to be it IMO along with the Mediapad
Also Huawei seems to have thought this strategy well too
Ascend Honor 2 would have made more sense seeing Honor came out early 2011 but hey, the Nigerian market will lap it up
They all came with ICS when they launched [Honor is on Honeycomb and upgradeable to ICS] and should upgarde easily to Jelly Bean
Huawei might be Chinese but do know [if you don't] that most telecoms providers [Nigerian inclusive] use their products
Huawei also trumps the likes of TECNO & numerous faceless brands which flood the computer village
Hope the inherent Nigerian greed doesn't show up as the Quad D retails for $450 [about 72,000] internationally

Pictures of this devices [Quad D, Honor and the Mediapad in that order]
Cant wait to ice the Quad D
Though would have loved to see a dual SIM version
Well, you cant have it all
