Huawei Ascend W2 leaks online

A leaked rendered image of what appears to be Huawei’s new Windows Phone 8 smartphone, the Ascend W2, has leaked online. Carrying a 4.3-inch display and a Snapdragon S4 CPU.

As the name of the device suggests, this is a successor to the Huawei Ascend W1 that we reviewed last month. Based on the leaked image, the W2 drops the chin-like feature and the squarish looks of its predecessor in favor of a more rounded design.

Being a step-up from the entry-level W1, the Ascend W2 falls in the mid-range level sporting a larger 4.3-inch IPS HD display, a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 CPU, 1GB of RAM, 8 megapixel camera with LED flash, 1080p video recording capabilities, and a 2,000mAh battery.

No word yet on official release date and pricing but some Chinese sites were estimating it to sell at 1,770 Chinese Yuan or around Php12,000USD 204INR 17,335EUR 195CNY 1,489.
