Huawei's Ascend G700 exposed, may be Ascend D2's cheaper cousin

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Image" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/huawei-ascend-g700.jpg" /></div>Watch out, Richard Yu! Not long after the China launch of the 6.1-inch Huawei Ascend Mate earlier today, the notorious @evleaks tweeted out the above two press shots of an Ascend G700, as well as referring to an old tweet from the often reliable @paopao0128 (of <em>Blog of Mobile</em> fame) who suggested the G700 will feature Android 4.2, a quad-core MediaTek MT6589 SoC (as opposed to the quad-core Huawei HiSilicon K3V2 chip on the Ascend Mate and the Ascend D2), an "HD" LCD (our money's on 720p only, like the leaked G710) and both WCDMA and TD-SCDMA flavors.<br /> Another fresh G700 leak we found shows a hands-on photo obtained from Sina Weibo (which has since been deleted, but it's also right after the break), and it also mentions that the phone will have a 5-inch display plus 2GB of RAM. There's no info on pricing, but the careless leakster on Weibo reminded us that the budget-minded G series devices never go over ¥2,000 or about $320 unsubsidized. To put that into perspective, the quad-core, 5-inch full-HD D2 is currently available for almost twice as many yuans. Well, it shouldn't be long before Chinese consumers get yet another 5-inch device to stuff their pockets.<br /> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Huawei's Ascend G700 leaked in press shots, may be Ascend D2's cheaper cousin" data-src-height="588" data-src-width="440" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/huawei-ascend-g700-test.jpg" /></div></div></div>

Neo N003 may deliver a 1080p smartphone for $145, but don't expect miracles

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Neo N003 may deliver a 1080p smartphone for $145, we wouldn't expect miracles" data-src-height="450" data-src-width="570" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/neo-n003-render.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Neo is known for building smartphones with price tags so low that a Nexus 4 would seem like a luxury. If <em>GizChina</em>'s contact (and convenient product render) is accurate, that bang-for-the-buck ratio may grow especially wide in the near future. The N003 will supposedly include a 5-inch, 1080p display and a quad-core processor for a target price of ¥899 ($145) in China for a basic Youth version, and ¥1,499 ($241) for a Premium model -- both big deals for the size, we'd reckon. However, there's little doubt that the N003 at those prices would be slower than a truly high-end phone like the HTC Butterfly, especially considering its pedigree. The N002 uses a MediaTek chip and just 4GB of storage, and earlier rumors have the N003 using MediaTek's frugal MT6589 alongside either 8GB or 32GB of space for its respective trim levels. Neo hasn't confirmed the details as of yet, let alone set expectations. Any alignment between the claims and reality could nonetheless see the N003 punching well above its weight, even if most Americans would never feel the impact.</div></div>

MediaTek plans a tablet-focused processor for Q3

While other details are scarce, it's safe to say the chip will take advantage of all the extra breathing room for more performance.

Acer hints at very low-cost, quad-core 8- and 10-inch tablets

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /> <div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Acer Iconia B1-A71" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/leadacer.jpg" /></div>Acer pushed the boundaries of price for major brand tablets with its $150 Iconia B1. It's not about to quit with just one model under its belt, however. The company's Greater China head, Linxian Lang, explained to <em>China Times</em> that there should also be 8- and 10-inch tablets on the way with "aggressive" prices. Acer isn't just adding more glass, either, as it's looking at quad-core MediaTek processors for a speed jump. There's no word on just when the larger budget slates might appear, although we wouldn't count on them coming to the US when the B1 has already been ruled out.<br /> </div></div>
