Waiting for the Huawei's Ascend D1 flagship, running on its own proprietary quad-core CPU, was like waiting for Godot. Announced in February during Mobile World Congress, called Ascend D Quad at the time, and promised to ship in the first half of 2011, the new smartphone made quite a splash during the trade show. With Huawei's K3V2 quad-core 1.5 GHz CPU and 4.5x1280×720 330 ppi IPS display, it was the best specc'ed Android device in Barcelona.
However, few months after the announcement, Huawei learned that creating its own mobile CPU from scratch, and getting it into production, is not so easy.
