Huawei Ascend Y200 Heading To The US

Just awhile back, Huawei made an announcement that it would be launching its Ascend Y100 in the UK. Just mere days after that, the company has made yet another announcement of another Ascend smartphone called the Y200 which will head to the markets in the US. The smartphone which was showcased at this year’s CTIA Wireless has been designed with the budget-smartphone market in mind. The affordable entry-level smartphone from the Y range of Huawei device is an example of the company’s latest naming strategy where the ‘Y’ stands for youth and it apparently typifies the mass market, entry-level devices with smaller screens, slower processors and fewer camera features.

The Y200 will run Android Gingerbread, with a 3.5-inch touchscreen, a 1GHz single-core processor, a 3.2MP camera sans flash and it will feature a dark brownish colored body with smoother rounded lines. Although James Jiang who is the Executive Vice President of Huawei Products states that the device is touted for a release later in the year, no exact date was provided and in addition to that, no pricing details were revealed either. He also stated that over the next few months, the company will be launching even more devices.
