We’ve learned to expect a lot from Huawei with the company’s Honor 2 moving the market boundaries, showing us what the next-gen mid-range smartphone will look like. In their own backyard, Huawei recently unveiled the T8830, which is described as a low-end device even though it comes with a dual-core processor. Sure enough, it has just 512MB of RAM which may not be enough to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich smoothly, and its camera has a 3.2-megapixel sensor. But it costs just $104, while its other specs include a still-decent 4-inch WVGA display, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth, sensors and so on. I would call it an awesome deal, but apparently (according to GizChina) there are even better phones to buy for that money in the world’s most populous country. Can’t wait to see the similarly priced and specced smartphone hitting the West. Now that would be a market shaker, don’t you think?
