104$ for Huawei T8830 dual-core MT6517

If You wonder why Huawei is one of the biggest retailer in China - consider this - 104$ for decent smartphone a t a local market - sounds great. Huawei T8830 is powered by dual-core MT6517 chipset and has 4.0 inch screen.

We know what Huawei is doing. Since the top shelve is occupied by Samsung, Apple and others - Huawei is focusing on the low-cost Android phones in China. And since China become the largest market with more phone than people in United States this approach can come to fruition.

Huawei T8830 specs:

• 4.0 inch display with 800x480px resolution covered with Gorilla Glass
• Mediatek dual-core MT6517 CPU
• 3.2 Mpix camera
• 512MB RAM
• Android 4.0 ICS

This move is gonna be followed by others producers - especially in China. But if You think 104$ is the lowest price it can go - think again - buy JiaYu G2 for $100 with a dual-core MT6577 CPU and 5 mega-pixel camera.
Low price phone is what developing markets need and it seems Chinese producers will take lead in that matter.
