China’s Huawei, the number three smartphone maker behind giants Samsung and Apple, unveiled Sunday a new mobile, the Ascend P2, which it claims is the fastest in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sharp-cornered and thinner than a pencil at 8.4 mm, the company said it can achieve speeds of 150 Mbps, fast enough to download a two-hour high-definition movie in less than five minutes.<\/p>\n

The mobile, which has a 4.7-inch, high definition screen, has a powerful 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and is able to use the fourth-generation high speed mobile networks being rolled out worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unveiling the device on the eve of the opening Monday of the four-day Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, the company said it was “the world’s fastest smartphone,” smashing all previous records.<\/p>\n

Huawei said its phone surpassed top speeds of 100 Mbps for the fourth-generation network ready versions of Apple’s flagship iPhone 5 and Samsung’s Galaxy SIII.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ascend P2 will launch in France through Orange in June and is also expected to be available worldwide during the second quarter of 2013, it said.<\/p>\n

The phone, which includes a 13 megapixel camera, is the latest shot in Huawei’s battle against the fast-growing market’s titans Samsung and Apple.<\/p>\n

Samsung and Apple accounted for more than half of all smartphone sales in the final quarter of 2012 — 29.0 per cent for Samsung and 22.1 per cent for Apple — according to research firm Strategy Analytics.<\/p>\n

Behind Samsung and Apple, however, Chinese firms held the third, fourth and fifth spots<\/strong> — with 5.3 per cent for Huawei, 4.7 per cent for ZTE and 4.4 per cent for Lenovo.
