Huawei: We are not releasing Windows Phone any time soon

WP Central

A few days ago the Chinese tech site Winp.cn cited its sources, indicating Huawei would exist releasing its starting time Windows Telephone device on September 25th. This came as probably mildly exciting news, considering although Huawei isn't exactly well known for producing super duper cool phones, from Windows Telephone the ecosystem's point of view, the more the merrier.

However, September 25th came and went, rather uneventfully. There was a moderately heavy rain in Beijing, causing ballsy traffic jam across the whole town, peradventure the most interesting news of the day. Even so Huawei didn't break a move. Disappointing.

The rumor originally came out on September 17th, with a couple of pictures (forepart/side view) of what's supposed to be Huawei Ascend W1. The official account of Huawei's online store on Chinese social media site Sina weibo immediately denied, saying something ambiguous: "Lil Hua (that's what the account calls itself) tin't ostend this. Just await at the side view of that film. Familiar innit? Arise P1!"

We tin can't exist sure if Huawei was accusing the picture to be Photoshopped. Merely anyway, the rumor was officially denied.

Yet, that didn't stop the story from spreading out. And it was somehow further fleshed out in the procedure, being added details such equally iv color variations, estimated late October availability, and September 25th launch consequence. It's a curious case in media communication for sure. Since the rumor about launch date was missed, the credibility of other parts of the rumor could quite likely fail likewise.

Let's melody the Rum'o'meter down a notch.

Rum: 2

More importantly then, when will Huawei put forth a Windows Phone device?

Well in that location's no definite word or solid-looking rumor for the fourth dimension being. ZDNet got in bear upon with the company earlier, and got "We didn't program to announce W1 on September 25th" for a reply. One day before that, Sina Tech besides quoted the CEO of Huawei mobile phone division, saying the visitor intends to release its starting time Windows Phone viii device by late 2022, or early 2022. In an attempt to further boom the engagement, Chinese tech site WPDang's source told them "Huawei's Windows Phone 8 device will meet the consumers *no sooner than* the end of December 2022."

Anyway, move along, people, nothing to see here. There volition most likely be plenty of waiting before Huawei's first existent splash in the Windows Telephone swimming. If you are seeking a telephone upgrade, I'd advise confronting waiting for this detail brand. Both Nokia and HTC have brought to the table quite impressive devices, in terms of both technology and design. Without considering the price factor, honestly I don't recall it's possible to get a much improve bargain than Lumia 820/920 and HTC 8X/8S any time soon. Just get ahead. Don't permit Huawei hinder your Christmas spirit.
