Huawei’s Chief Marketing Officer, Shao Yang revealed this exciting news during an interview with TrustedReviews. Mr. Yung justified this move by saying

Compared with Android, the priority of Windows Phone is much lower but is still one of our choices of OS. We are definitely using a multi OS strategy.

Huawei has became world's third largest smartphone manufacturer in recent months and with its flagship devices the company is giving tough time to renowned smartphones brands including, Samsung, HTC & Sony.

In the past few years Huawei has introduced many budget Android devices as well as a couple of Windows Phone powered smartphones. Now combining these two operating systems in a single phone will give the customers a new choice. Mr. Yang also noted that Huawei is also open to other operating systems, as the company recently outed a Firefox OS based low-end smartphone.

It merits mentioning here Microsoft has recently eased the regulations regarding Windows Phone and opening up this platform for other players. As a result we are likely to see more and more dual-OS devices in the future.
