Android-powered video game consoles like the Ouya haven’t exactly been a huge success, but Chinese electronics maker Huawei is hoping to change that with Tron, a device that looks remarkably similar to Apple’s new Mac Pro — albeit a lot smaller. It’s powered by a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor and 2GB of RAM, and it’s expected to cost less than $150.

Huawei took center stage at CES in Las Vegas today to present its flagship smartphone of 2014, the Ascend Mate 2 4G. It’s the OEM’s first handset to be optimized for LTE networks all over the world, including AT&T and T-Mobile in the United States.

Huawei’s forthcoming sequel to its popular flagship phablet, the Ascend Mate, is expected to be unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next week, on Tuesday, January 7, 2014, in Las Vegas. However, just days before its scheduled announcement, the Ascend Mate 2 has been surreptitiously snapped, and the shots leaked — these images reveal much of the handset’s appearance and specifications.

Huawei has today unveiled its latest pair of Android-powered smartphones, both of which bring impressive specifications at even more impressive prices. Its new Honor 3X smartphone boasts an octa-core processor with a 5.5-inch 720p display, which the slightly cheaper Honor 3C has a quad-core processor and an 8-megapixel Sony camera.

One of the great things about Android is that you don’t have to spend a small fortune to gain access to its ecosystem.

Chinese manufacturers like Huawei and ZTE — and even the likes of Samsung, HTC, and Motorola — all offer super affordable Android-powered smartphones that even budget-conscious consumers and those in the developing world can gain access to. And some of them aren’t bad, either.

Take the new Moto G, for example: It starts at just $179 off contract, and for that you get an HD display, a quad-core processor, a 5-megapixel camera, and access to Google’s latest Android operating system.

Thanks to devices like this, smartphones are about to go mainstream in the developing world, according to a new piece in the latest edition of Wired from our own editor-in-chief Leander Kahney.
