We're promises press images are coming soon. Look at this logo in the meantime While the CES 2013 press conference was all about Android, the expected Huawei W1 Windows Phone was unveiled on the sly.
The Windows Phone 8-powered handset comes with a superbly uninteresting spec list, which we hope augers well for a low, low price – otherwise this will be quickly chucked into the 'also-rans' bin.
CNET Asia got the nod on the specs for this one, and it comes with the aforementioned WP8 (with the new update to improve stability, dubbed Portico) as well as 512MB of RAM – which makes sense, given that it's only got a WVGA resolution 4-inch screen.
What else makes the Ascend W1 special? Well, there's only 4GB of onboard storage, but the addition of a microSD card slot at least means you can chuck some more in there if you so wish.
A 5MP camera and LED flash is the minimum we'd expect here, and the likes of NFC and a dual core 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM 8230 CPU should provide adequate grunt under the hood.

The 1950mAh battery should be enough to keep you chugging along throughout the day, but it's not going to win any power contests, which is a shame when you see the masses of juice plugged into the likes of the Android-powered Ascend D2.
In short, we can see this phone not making waves anywhere in the world – come on Huawei, where's the super Windows Phone we all want to see?
