Let's not forget about Huawei, whose flagship P series and Mate series have also become some of the most expensive smartphones you can get your hands on, typically showing up the rest of the industry with tons of new camera features, among other things. But in the case of Huawei, their latest phones, despite having Global versions available, don't officially support Google Mobile Services.

Huawei makes some of the most interesting little gadgets around and when I visited their booth at CommunicAsia yesterday, they've got a dozens of Pocket WiFi and USB sticks for all sorts of cellular network on display. The one above is the Huawei WiFi E589 which supports LTE, 3G and 2G connections with speeds up to 50Mbps. This one is the Huawei E398 which is an LTE USB dongle, similar to the one being used by Smart LTE Evolution.
