Chinese phone manufacturer Huawei is furthering its no-frills range of cheap smartphones with its latest offering that’s set to sell for less than $100.The compact Android 2.2-run Ideos X1 sports a 2.8 touch screen display with a limited 320×240 pixel resolution and is backed with a 3.2 megapixel camera.

On the inside, this 100 gram mobile holds a 512M ROM and 256MB of RAM. The specs and the screen quality are identical to that of the earlier Ideos model that launched late last year for $100 more than the new price.
This model has adopted a sleeker look and less physical buttons though, with a single main button and three touch buttons on the screen. Where most Android phones with this format house a back, settings, home and search button, the X1 abandons the ‘home’ button.

The Huawei Ideos X1 will be available this Friday, July 1 from Optus with a launch RRP of $99.
