The Huawei Ascend P6, an unannounced new smartphone that's rumored to be incredibly thin, popped up in two leaks this week that revealed a new angle and a possible launch date.
The Twitter account @evleaks, notorious for giving unofficial early looks at upcoming phones, tweeted the above photo this morning with the words "Huawei Ascend P6, 2013."
Further, a Huawei executive seems to have accidentally revealed the P6's launch date on the Chinese microblogging service Sina Weibo.
Huawei Device Chairman Richard Yu reportedly confirmed that the device is part of the P series and that it will be unveiled at Huawei's June 18 event in London.
Covered tracks
Yu promptly deleted his message on Sina Weibo, but not before the internet noticed.
The rumored Ascend P6 first appeared toward the end of April in a photo leaked by China's equivalent of the FCC.
At the time it was specced with a 4.7-inch HD display, 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 5MP camera and Android Jelly Bean.
Nothing we've seen since then, including an additional photo allegedly of the Ascend P6 in black (it appeared in white the first time), has suggested anything different.
Engadget added today that the 6.2mm thick Ascend P6 will sport a metal chassis and Huawei's Emotion UI overlay.
If today's rumor pans out, expect more on the Ascend P6 in June.
