Cricket Wireless will be adding another Huawei-made Android smartphone to its portfolio. However, unlike the existing Ascend which is a mid-range device, the upcoming Glory (aka Huawei M886) is a high-end smartphone rocking a (dual-core?) 1.4-GHz Qualcomm processor, 4-inch WVGA touchscreen and 8-megapixel camera. In addition, the “glorious” specs also include 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, powerful 1900mAh battery, and 2GB of built-in storage which is further expandable with microSD memory cards. Best of all, it will run Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread out of box and be upgradeable to Android Ice Cream Sandwich when it’s released.

Cricket is still quiet about the launch date, but we did hear the price – Glory will go for $300, requiring no contract signing at all. That’s an awesome deal for such a powerful device and we can’t wait to give it a try. According to PC Mag, Huawei’s baby is “very, very fast” and it should be with all that horse-power under the hood…
