Yeah, yeah, we know Nokia didn’t invent colors on smartphones, nor are we necessarily upset that more OEMs are embracing the bold and bright options that nature gave us, but we’re a tad suspicious here of the Huawei’s Ascend W2 that has now been revealed in yellow.

Truth be told, the device is not bad looking at all, except for all of that bezel. The W2 is supposed to be more high-end than the current W1, which itself is not a bad entry level device.

Huawei Ascend W2 Blue

To refresh you on those specs, besides the dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, we may also expect:

Display

  • 4.3 inch IPS Touchscreen
  • Display resolution 1280 x 720
  • Color Support: 16 million colors
  • Screen technology: Multi-touch screen

Camera

  • 8MP
  • Flash: LED fill light
  • AF: Yes
  • Aperture: f/2.0
  • Continuous function: Support
  • Video recording: 1080p (1920 x 1080, 30fps)

No word on when the W2 will be officially unveiled but the leaks from @evleaks continue, we can only imagine we’re getting real close to an announcement, coinciding with the imminent Windows Phone GDR2 hardware refresh this summer.
