Two spy shots of Huawei's upcoming Ascend P2 leaked

Two spy shots of Huawei's upcoming Ascend P2 leaked. The phone has been rumored to sport a 5" 1080p screen, later a 4.5" one and now rumors suggest a 4.7" at the front.

Others information suggests that the Huawei Ascend P2 will be powered by an 8-core processor, which will probably be along the lines of Samsung's big.LITTLE chip where four Cortex-A15s handle big loads while four Cortex-A7s are there for the power saving.

The leaked images align nicely with the leaked official photo of the Ascend P2 we've seen.

The camera on the back of the device has been hidden in these images, which inclines us to think that the Ascend P2 could sport an above 13 MP snapper. It could be just a coincidence, though.
