Huawei W1 Windows Phone 8 device Press Image Leaks

Posted: 20 Oct 2012 01:32 AM PDT


Good old Twitter account @evleaks is at it again, leaking Windows Phone 8 devices in official press images before they are even announced. They did that with the Nokia Lumia 820 and 920 and now they’re doing it again with Huawei W1, a handset that appeared on the web last week in some blurry shots and with specs attached.

This is not your typical high end smartphone with WP8 leak, but rather a midrange phone from Huawei, that may sell well, due to the reasonable specs and pricing. The W1 will also get a black, white and pink version. Looking at the design, I have to say that I find the camera area similar to the one on the HTC One X. As far as specs go, we’ve got a 4 inch WVGA display, a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and 512MB of RAM.

There’s also a VGA front facing camera, a 5 megapixel rear camera with flash and 4 GB of internal storage. Huawei W1 is supposed to debut in November or December in China and don’t be surprised if you see it announced during Microsoft’s October 29th Windows Phone 8 event. The price is supposed to be $310, pretty affordable for this newcomer. Getting one?

Microsoft Surface Phone Pictured Yet Again, Apparently Leaked by Redmond

Posted: 20 Oct 2012 01:24 AM PDT


Microsoft posted a lot of promos and demos for the Surface Tablet over the past week, including some shots of people working on their tablets. However, with a close look at some of the pictures, you’ll notice some interesting gadget near the Surface slate. Could it be the Surface Phone?

The thing is that this phone looks different from any other Windows Phone we’ve seen up until now. Due to the unfinished nature and bulkiness of the device, we tend to believe it’s a prototype and hopefully the end result won’t be that bulky. What’s exciting is that the Redmond giant is hard at work on its Surface Phone, a device that even Nokia’s CEO, Stephen Elop claims it’s necessary, to push WP8 efforts further. They may have seen the advantages of a flagship Nexus in the Android world and feel the need for something similar.

Since there’s always a big company making these gizmos, I wonder who will handle the Microsoft “Nexus” phone… Could it be Nokia, or maybe Sharp again, giving it another spin, after the failure called Kin Phone. Anyhow, we expect a small teaser, if not a demo of the new device during the Microsoft Windows Phone 8 event on the 29th of this month.
