Chinese smartphone maker Huawei has officially revealed the specs of its much anticipated Ascend W2 smartphones at the Mobile Asia Expo 2013. Ascend W2 is the successor to Huawei Ascend W1, which was launched in January.

Measuring a 134 x 66.7 x 9.9 mm, the Huawei Ascend W2 packs in Qualcomm MSM8230 Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset with a dual-core 1.4GHz Krait processor along with Adreno 305 GPU. It comes with 512MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, which can be further expanded by up to 32GB through a microSD card. Huawei Ascend W2 features a 4.3-inch display with a resolution of 480X800 pixels.

For camera, there is 8-megapixel rear camera. It packs in a 1700mAh battery and runs on Windows Phone 8. Huawei Ascend W2 will be available in three colour options - Blue, Red and Yellow.

Leaked images of Huawei Ascend W2 were posted online a few hours before the launch.

So far there is no official confirmation in regarding when will Huawei start retailing this smartphone or its retail price. However, it is being speculated that Ascend W2 will cost around $300.

From the current set of specification, it appears that this smartphone will be competing with the Nokia Lumia 520 and Lumia 620, which are both entry-level Windows Phone 8 smartphones.
