First Press Photo of Huawei Ascend W1 Windows Phone 8 Leaks

Chinese handset maker Huawei has yet to officially announce its first Windows Phone 8 device, the Ascend W1.

Although the first live pictures of the smartphone leaked a few days ago, it's still unclear when the phone is scheduled to hit shelves.

Today, the folks over at EVLeaks have just published the first press photo of the alleged Huawei Ascend W1. The smartphone is expected to go on sale by the end of the year for around $350 (€265) outright.

So far, we know the Ascend W1 should sports a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports 480 x 800 pixels resolution.

In addition, the smartphone will be equipped with a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
