We’ve already told you that Huawei will soon launch its first Windows Phone device. And while we’re still not sure when that will happen — though we hope we won’t have to wait for too long — the device has been leaked before its official announcement and we’re glad we can show it to you. As you can see from the image above, the forthcoming Huawei W1 will look similar to the HTC Windows Phone 8X. However, under the hood it will be more of a HTC 8S with specs that include a 4-inch WVGA touchscreen, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, VGA front-facing camera, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory.

The story goes on suggesting that Huawei will initially launch the W1 in China with other markets to follow after that. The rumor price is $310 making for a great deal… We’ll let you know if/when we hear something like this is going west-side.
