As of now, little is known about the Orbit, save for the fact that it comes with a 5 MP camera and 4GB of internal memory, and it will run the latest version of Windows Phone, Tango.
The Orbit is the second ZTE device to run Windows Phone, after the ZTE Tania, which was announced last September.

After announcing the three new L-series smartphones yesterday, LG has yet another phone to announce before MWC. This one is the successor to the Optimus 3D and is called the Optimus 3D Cube.
The Optimus 3D Cube improves upon its successor by having a newer, thinner design, which is just 9.6mm thick compared to the 11.9mm thickness of the previous phone. It also has a slightly bigger battery, 1.2GHz processor instead of 1GHz, 16GB memory instead of 8GB and comes with NFC built-in. Another addition is the ability to not only capture 3D images and videos but also be able to edit 3D images directly on the phone.
Apart from this the new Optimus 3D Cube is similar to the old one, with the same 4.3-inch, glassess-free 3D WVGA IPS display and dual 5 megapixel cameras at the back for recording 3D stills and 1080p video. The Optimus 3D Cube will be running on Android 2.3, with an Ice Cream Sandwich update hopefully arriving soon.
The phone will launch in South Korea on SK Telecom in March but we will be getting to see it sooner at MWC next week.

Along with the two new ICS handsets announced yesterday, ZTE had another ICS-based smartphone to announce before MWC. This one is called the Mimosa X and will be running on the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. While that itself is nothing special, it will also be the first device to have the Nvidia Icera 450 HSPA+ modem.
If you're wondering what so special about that, so far the phones made with the Tegra 2 processor had to rely on modems from other companies, such as Qualcomm. Last year, Nvidia acquired Icera who also make modems for smartphones. This allows them to use their own modems in phones powered by their processors and the ZTE Mimosa X is the first phone to do so.
Other than that the Mimosa X is a typical upper mid-range smartphone, with a qHD display, 5 megapixel rear camera, VGA front camera, 4GB memory, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. For any further information, we will have to wait for MWC next week. The phone will be launched in Q2, 2012.

Huawei made quite a splash at CES with their stunningly thin Ascend P1 S Android phone and their Chief Marketing Officer, Yu Chengdong, reportedly let it slip that Huawei will be showing off the Ascend D1 Q and the MediaPad 10 at the MWC.
That can make an even bigger splash - the Japanese blog that spotted Yu Chengdong's post is reporting that the D stands for Diamond (which is higher end than the P1's Platinum) and the Q stands for quad-core.
Of course, the "Q equals quad-core" reasoning is not official, so take it with a pinch of salt.
There's not much else we know about the phone or is purported companion - the Huawei MediaPad 10. The MediaPad 10 will clearly be a 10" version of the 7" MediaPad, but that's all the info on it.
The MWC starts in a couple of weeks and we'll be there to report on Huawei's new phones and tablets.
