Huawei Ascend Y200 Entry-Level Phone Coming To U.S. 4

Huawei teased us with its high-end Ascend D Quad a few days ago at CTIA, but it still has its feet firmly planted on entry-level soil. The Huawei Ascend Y200, also shown at CTIA, is an example of a phone that's perfect for teenagers, smartphone first-timers, or anyone on a budget. The “Y” stands for “Youth”, which is how Huawei is positioning devices with slower processors, smaller screens, and lower camera specs. The Y200 sports the following specs:

Single-core 1GHz processor
3.5-inch 320 x 480 resolution display
3.2 megapixel camera
1,400 mAh battery
Android 2.3 Gingerbread

This is definitely a lower-end phone. It should be coming to U.S. carriers some time in the next couple of months, though we don't know which yet. Pricing has also not been announced.
