A couple of days ago the successor to Huawei's recently launched
Ascend P1 smartphone was spotted in the wild alongside the company's Ascend W2, which is the successor of the low-end Windows Phone 8 running
Ascend W1 recently launched at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Now a press shot of the company's next full-HD flagship device has surfaced online courtesy
@evleaks via Unwired View. The 6.99mm thin Ascend P2 is expected to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona next month.
Huawei recently launched the
Ascend D2 smartphone at CES that comes with a 5-inch 1080p display. However, the Ascend P2 will come with a 4.5-inch full-HD display as opposed to earlier rumours suggesting a 5-inch 720p display. Further alleged specs include a 1.8GHz quad-core processor with 2GB RAM, 8GB internal storage (non-expandable), 13-megapixel rear and 1.3-megapixel front cameras, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and a 3,000mAh battery.
The company will be using the HiSilicon K3V2 processor featuring a Cortex A9 design and it also plans to use the Cortex-A15 architecture later this year.
The
Huawei Ascend P1 LTE was unveiled by Airtel back in November last year as 'India's first 4G smartphone'. It is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor alongside 1GB RAM. It comes with 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD display with Gorilla Glass 2, 4GB internal storage (expandable by 32GB) and an 8-megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash. The
Ascend P1 LTE runs Android 4.0 and is powered by a 2,000mAh battery.
Huawei also plans to introduce the
Ascend W2 at MWC, which will apparently be just 7.7 mm thin. It is likely to come with a 4.5-inch 720p HD ultra-sensitive touchscreen that can be operated with gloves, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a Qualcomm dual-core processor with unspecified clock frequency, 1GB RAM, 16 GB of internal storage and a 2,800 mAh battery.
