Techradar-It's had more leaks than a wicker canoe, but finally the Huawei Ascend W1 has been officially unveiled as the Chinese firm's first Windows Phone 8 smartphone.
Missing out on a mention during Monday's Huawei press conference at CES 2013 the Ascend W1 quietly revealed itself today via a press release.
Pocket-Lint: Huawei's Ascend W1 represents the company's first foray into Windows Phone 8. Boasting a cyan coloured back and matte-effect plastic all round, it fits in nicely to the usual Windows Phone landscape
The handset is fairly compact at 10.15mm thick, feeling and looking like a mix between a Lumia phone and an 8X. The 4-inch IPS touch screen is nice but a lot of that smooth, slick feel of Windows Phone 8 appears to have been lost on the phone.
