Huawei to introduce multiple Windows Phone offerings

Earlier this week, we brought word that Huawei would be at the Windows Phone 8 table with the Ascend W1.  The W1 was thought to be on the same playing field as the Nokia Lumia 920 or HTC 8X and an announcement was expected on September 25th.

Well the Ascend W1 is still on the agenda, but word has it that Huawei will introduce two Windows Phone 8 devices at the media event on the 25th. It is possible though that the range of the devices is different than originally thought, the Ascend W1 may be meant to compete with Nokia’s Lumia 820 and HTC 8S. Huawei’s flagship device may be the Ascend W2 which will pack hardware to take on the Lumia 920 and HTC 8X.

Both devices are expected to be on the market in the November-December time frame in the US, Europe and China. Outside of that, we do not have any specifications about the devices.

It will be interesting to see how these two contenders stand up against the competition. What might Huawei have to offer to make you look away from tempting offerings of Nokia, HTC and Samsung?
