Huawei Honor with Ice Cream Sandwich launched

In December 2011, Huawei offered a demo version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for its Honor smartphone, allowing users to dream about a full version.

Now the handset has been officially launched with Android ICS on board in China (via China Unicom). Of course, this means that if you have already bought the Honor with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, an update to Android 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich should be available for your device soon.

The Huawei Honor features a 4 inch FWVGA 854 x 480 display, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, 8MP rear camera with 720p video recording, front-facing camera, 1.4GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory, and a 1930 mAh battery. The handset is available in the US via Cricket Wireless under the name of Huawei Mercury.
