Huawei Ascend W2 official photo surfaces, rumored to cost $290

Huawei's very first Windows Phone 8 smartphone, the Ascend W1, will soon turn 6 months old and by the looks of it, the company is looking to issue a refresh in the face of the Ascend W2.

With its specs entering rumorland last month, we got a basic idea of the Ascend W2's personality, but not of its looks. Today this changes, thanks to the popular leaks source, which has provided an official photo of the smartphone's front.

If the rumors turn out true, the Ascend W2 should pack a 4.3" HD display, 8MP camera with LED flash and 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU with 1GB of RAM. Under the back cover reportedly resides a 2000mAh battery and the phone will come with a decent connectivity suite featuring of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and HSPA+ support.

The price of the Huawei Ascend W2 is suggested to be below the $300 mark, so it should be definitely on the list of Windows Phone 8 customers looking for an inexpensive update in the near future. Sadly, nobody knows exactly when the Ascend W2 would make it to the market.
