Dubbed “the fastest quad-core Android smartphone,” Huawei Ascend D quad was announced back in February at the Mobile World Congress 2012.

Although the handset maker did not reveal any details regarding the phone’s pricing tag and release date, we thought that the Ascend D quad might hit shelves as early as May.

However, Chinese site CNMO reports that Huawei will start mass production of Ascend D quad only in June, which means shipping will be scheduled for July.

Huawei Ascend D quad will be delivered with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. The smartphone packs a quad core Huawei K3V2 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 8GB of ROM, 1 GB of RAM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).

It also sports a large 4.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720 x 1280 pixels) resolution. Huawei also included Dolby Mobile 3.0 Plus sound enhancement for a better multimedia experience.
