After being spotted in benchmark tests this summer, the Juggernaut Alpha, an unconfirmed dual-core Windows Phone 8 handset, recently surfaced in the log files of an anonymous developer. The developer provided information to MonWindowsPhone, which suggests the device is being tested from Microsoft’s Redmond Campus.

The GPS coordinates provided by the phone trace it back to Studio H, the building that houses the Windows Phone Design team. The phone also runs a firmware tagged Redmond, which further suggests the handset is a Microsoft-made Windows Phone 8 device. Though Microsoft is not in the phone business, Steve Ballmer recently said at a press event that the company is interested in adding devices to its software lineup.
