Huawei announces new smartphone, updated tablet in Barcelona

The Ideos X3 also contains its own online upgrade solution and a back up data service. The product will go on sale in March.
The new Huawei tablet is called the Ideos S7 Slim and is based on the older 22. Android. It has a 7-inch screen and offers 3G and Wi-Fi. It will be launched in April.
