Huawei's Ascend W1 Windows Phone handset barely started its sales adventure at Walmart, and already a successor appears from the rumor mill of @evleaks.

Based on previous rumors about the W2, it is coming as the slimmest Windows Phone out there, at 7.7 mm, and with 4.3" or 4.5" HD screen, depending on whose speculation you read, that can be operated with gloves.

The usual dual-core Snapdragon with 1 GB of RAM would be powering it, and an 8 MP camera will be saying "smile" from the back.

If the Ascend W2 materializes like that, it will be one of the most decked out Windows Phone 8 handsets, since it was also said to sport a healthy 2800 mAh battery capacity. Even though it is a Huawei handset, all those niceties aren't coming at a rock bottom price, though, as it was rumored to be sold for 3200 Yuan or about $515.
