Huawei Ascend P2 to be water and dust protected

Huawei is either not that good in keeping secrets or not trying too hard to do so. Even before the CES press conference we already knew almost everything about the Ascend D2 and Mate. It seems the case will be similar to the upcoming MWC event, where Huawei is expected to unveil the Ascend P2.

The upcoming smartphone will feature smaller (compared to the D2) 4.5-inch 1080p screen and will run on a chipset with a quad-core 1.8GHz processor. The camera department will be the same as on the D2 - a 13MP snapper with 1080p video recording. We even got to see the first live photos of the smartphone a while ago.

Today's scoop from rumorland brings another live shot of the Huawei Ascend P2, along with an interesting bit about its specs sheet. The smartphone will reportedly be dust and water protected. The Ascend P2 will be carry IP54 certification, which means it will be protected from just from water splashes, not water submersion.

Anyway, the Ascend P2 will be officially announced at the Huawei's pre-MWC event on February 24 in Barcelona. We'll be there to cover it live for you, so stay tuned.
