NEC's Medias W global prototype spotted: a 4.3-inch Android phone or 5.6-inch tablet? (hands-on)

NEC will launch its dual-screened [Medias W](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/22/medias-w-folding-two-screens/) in Japan in April, but now the company is working to get the phone landing in shores beyond _Nihon_. We saw glimpses of the red-finish global prototype that's on show here at MWC, although the company wasn't able to confirm any prices or destinations for the worldwide versions just yet. We also managed to get to grips with the Japanese iteration. Fortunately the only difference between the two models is NTT DoCoMo's baked-in proprietary apps and menus. So that's less bloatware? Count us in. We've got more impressions the on the dual 4.3-inch phone (and our hands-on video) right after the break.
