Huawei teases a mysterious Windows Phone, possible Ascend W2?

Huawei over in Italy has teased the above image on its Facebook page. The handset that appears to be within the whirlpool looks to be the Ascend W2, which we've covered recently in numerous renders. Unfortunately the company fails to reveal much else, but we're open to new hardware hitting stores for consumers to enjoy.

Could the image also confirm reports that the Ascend W2 (or the company's next Windows Phone) is to be water resistant? It's a possibility, but only time will tell. Though not confirmed, the Ascend W2 is expected to feature a 1280x720, 4.3” IPS display, 8MP camera and 1.5GHz dual-core CPU. We'll reach out and hope to have more information soon.
