Huawei is announcing international availability for its Ascend P1 Android handset, which launched today in China. Customers in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia will get first crack at the device (outside of mainland China) in May, followed by Latin America in June, and Europe sometime later in the summer. The 7.7-millimeter, Android 4.0-powered Ascend P1 has a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display, an 8-megapixel backside illuminated rear-facing camera, and a 1.5 GHz TI OMAP 4460 dual-core processor. The P1 also includes Dolby Mobile for surround sound through your headphones or home theater (through HDMI).

The phone's flying off the shelves in China, where Huawei's chairman Yu Chengdong says it's sold out everywhere. No other details were released for the rest of Huawei's 2012 lineup, including the 6.7-millimeter Ascend P1 S and the P1 LTE, but we'll let you know as soon as we hear anything.
