The Huawei Ascend Y201 pro looks likely to deliver Android 4.0 to those on a shoe-string budget. If price and performance are right it could be a great entry-level smart phone for Android newbies.

The Y201 only has an 800MHz chip powering it -- but it could be worse. HTC stuck a 600MHz chip in its budget Ice Cream Sandwich 'droid, the Desire C, so I'm hopeful the Y201 will be a slightly slicker performer.

The screen is 3.5 inches across and has a resolution of 320x480 pixels -- which means pixel per inch density is a fairly lowly 165. This is not an abysmally poor resolution, but the display certainly won't be super crisp. You'll also need to zoom in to read smaller text on webpages.

Huawei has stuck a 1,400mAh battery inside the phone -- which it reckons is good for up to five hours of chinwagging or 500 hours on standby. We'll be sure to test longevity when we get the Y201 in for review.
