Things move very rapidly in China.Â No sooner has the display of the Huawei Ascend W1 leaked, than it was followed by a full set of pictures, courtesy of Weibo user zh__en, who also revealed the specs of the handset.

He confirmed the device does indeed run Windows Phone 8. It has a 4 inch WVGA screen, 1.2G dual-core CPU, 400MHZ GPU, 512 Ram, 4G storage, 5 megapixel rear and VGA front camera and a 2000 mAh battery. Interestingly this is the first device we have seen where the microUSB charging port is not centred at the bottom edge of the handset.

The device will come in the same range of colours and Nokiaâ€™s Lumia handsets, which is sure the miff the company, already upset with HTC for the same reason.

See more pictures of this mid-range device after the break.
