Huawei quietly showcases their Windows Phone 8 running smartphone at CES 2013. This smartphone is a mid range one, as it's WVGA display speaks for itself. The phone also look akin to the Lumia series smartphones. Read on to find out more.
Huawei Ascend W1
The Huawei Ascend W1 is of the lower tier of Windows Phone 8 smartphones. It's WVGA resolution display and 512 MB of RAM alone confirm that fact. However, this doesn't mean it isn't another significant addition to the lower cost Windows Phone 8 handsets.
Huawei Ascend W1 Specifications
What Windows Phone 8 seriously needs now is a little bit of differentiation in products. It's the exact same experience with each manufacturer, which is a bit annoying considering the different brand names and price tags that these products associate themselves with.
Right now, for a person buying a Windows Phone 8 smartphone of the lower tier, their only criteria to look at is the specifications (internal) and nothing else. Even the design is the same standard design heavily borrowed from the Nokia Lumia 820 (originally). Let's hope this changes in the next couple of months.
