Windows Phone once again finds itself in a transitional state, as Nokia prepares to see its smartphone business swallowed up by Microsoft. That threatens to really change the Windows Phone landscape, cementing Nokia’s existing dominance and scaring off any lingering competition. Sure, Nokia’s had some of the best WP8 models out there, but competition is still generally seen as a good thing; that’s what we’re pleased today to see at least one non-Nokia WP8 model looking to tackle some new markets, as Huawei’s Ascend ...

But look here: even though Galaxy S 5 rumors are (to say the least) premature and indicative of a serious problem with our nasty-fast industry -an issue we discuss on the air- they’re also important. That’s because, as unreliable and, frankly, stupid as they are, they also give us an opportunity to discuss the future of Samsung industrial design. And any opportunity we ...

Two new renders leak today to get us through the weekend. The Huawei Ascend W2 was leaked in blue recently and it looks like it won’t be the only color option.

Huawei Ascend W2 press render leaked

Posted on May 30, 2013 by admin

There was a lot of speculation regarding the Huawei Ascend W2. At the end of last year we saw the phone being allegedly pictured and everyone was expecting to see the device at MWC. Nonetheless, at least the picture bit turned out to be true, judging by the render leaked above, and a bit of imagination. We’re looking at a round-cornered Windows Phone.
