The Huawei Ascend W1 is Huawei's first device to run Windows Phone 8. It was announced at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).[1] It was released in January 2013 as the least expensive Windows Phone in the Chinese market.[2]

Because of the limited memory available on this phone, certain applications and features will not be able to run.[3][4]

For African markets, the phone is named as "Huawei 4Afrika" as part of Microsoft's 4Afrika Initiative.[5]
