The anonymous Twitter account @evleaks just tweeted a photo of an unannounced Huawei smartphone called the Ascend G700. It allegedly has a 5 inch 720p display, quad core MediaTek MT6589 processor, 2 GB of RAM, and that’s all that’s known so far. According to Engadget, this thing shouldn’t cost more than $300 to $320.

Stop for a second and think about that. Isn’t it crazy that you’ll soon be able to buy that kind of phone for that kind of price? Makes you think what Samsung has in store for the GS4 mini later this year. And it also makes that $329 Apple iPhone rumor that much more plausible.

Will the G700 phone ever leave China? It has a MediaTek chip, so I’m going to say no, but chances are there will be a variant available that’s powered by a Qualcomm chipset. Said variant will likely make it to Europe and the United States.
