Huawei Ideos U8150
Huawei had let on earlier in the month that it’d be releasing three low-cost Android handsets into the Indian market – the Ideos X5, X6, and the low cost U8150. Though expected to launch for less than Rs. 8,000, the still inexpensive Huawei Ideos U8150 will retail for Rs. 8,499.
[RELATED_ARTICLE]While the phone does not steal the title of cheapest Android phone away from the Micromax Andro A60 or the upcoming Intex device (pegged for Rs. 5,500), it does offer a capacitive touchscreen, 3.2MP camera, and Android 2.2 Froyo right out of the box.
The Ideos U8150 has been launched in partnership with Aircel, with subscribers getting special postpaid data plans – up to 2GB data free. Check out the full specifications of the phone below:
