Buying the best phone (in terms of specs) is not possible for everyone, and its also not recommendable if you are a newcomer in the world of smartphones, or even if your needs aren’t that lavish.
After doing a brief review of dual-core Android smart phones, we thought of sharing the list of inexpensive budget Android smartphones.
The following phones were selected mainly for people who are new in this smartphone world or for those who can’t afford expensive phones (only the phones with low prices and rich feature set were selected).
Huawei IDEOS was first introduced by Zong for Rs.15,999, which was later revised and price was lowered to Rs.10,999 but now its available for just Rs. 6,999 only. Huawei IDEOS is also available with Ufone.
Huawei IDEOS, probably the cheapest Android phone, has got a 528Mhz ARM 11 processor along with 256Mb RAM and 200Mb of expandable memory.
The phone runs on the aged Android 2.2 Froyo. The screen is a bit small at 2.8 inches and has a resolution of 240×320. This phone hasn’t got killer features, but at this price it does give a bang-for-the-buck.
