Among the Android tablets that will be shown at MWC 2011, Huawei will be releasing an updated version of their S7 tablet, the Huawei S7 Slim. Huawei was nice enough to release some photos of the S7 Slim Android tablet, but we don’t yet have any specs.

But judging by the image, it looks like it has a front facing video camera, and will probably feature a 7 inch display like the previous model. It won’t be long before we get more info at any rate.

Last we heard, the official Facebook phone was just rumor. It was dismissed by Mark Zuckerberg himself after all. But that doesn’t mean that Facebook won’t license the brand to phone manufacturers. The latest rumors online suggest that they will do just that.

Rumor is that HTC will be unveiling two new Facebook smartphones at Mobile World Congress next month. These phones will feature the social network’s familiar color scheme and branding, with a modified version of Android built around and focusing on Facebook. One of the devices apparently has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, but we are short on other details.

The Nexus S has shown up with a new white coat, but it’s only on the back, leaving the front end the same old black. Hey, it may not be completely white, but at least it stands out from the norm. Aside from this variation, a “Silver Black” Nexus S was seen recently in European retailers’ listings.

That may be this one. We aren’t sure. It depends on how loose they interpret “silver.” No word yet on when or where this Nexus S will be on sale, but hopefully we will know soon.

Thing is, as you might expect, none of the methods are easy, but that just means that if you do this you will be among the select few. If you want to try your hand at it, check it out here.
