Recently at the India Telecom 2010, Huawei has confirmed that it will launch its affordable Android handset – Huawei Ideos, before the end of this year (Source: www.androidos.in). Huawei is an International handset maker based out of China, and has already launched this phone in US and Europe, where it was quite a success. This phone will have the Google Android 2.2 operating system and is likely to be priced below Rs. 8000.

Specifications of Huawei Ideos:

• 2.8 inch capacitive touch screen
• 3.2 MP camera
• 528MHz processor CPU
• Android 2.2 Froyo
• Wifi
• 3G
• GPS
• 3.5mm audio jack
• Accelerometer
• Proximity sensor
• MicroSD card storage

As already mentioned above, the Huawei Ideos will be priced very attractively at below Rs.8000 and will give a tough fight to the phones already present in this segment being the Samsung Galaxy 5 and the Micromax Andro A60. It might not be the cheapest of the lot but already has an advantage of the only entry-level model having Android 2.2 (Froyo) OS. Lets hope it releases soon to give buyers the ability to choose from a variety of phones in this segment also.
