Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, announced the launch of IDEOSTM, an affordable smartphone powered by the latest iteration of AndroidTM 2.2 (also known as ‘Froyo’). The smartphone is priced between US$100 and US$200, depending on the market. IDEOS redefines the “entry-level” concept by combining high-quality hardware and software with a high price/performance ratio, will be released in a number of countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific and America.
The ergonomically designed IDEOS provides a variety of ways to access the internet, as it boasts downlink speeds of more than 7.2Mb/s, offers WCDMA + WiFi dual network support, and offers ubiquitous mobile broadband services. The device also doubles as a WiFi router for up to eight devices at a time, making IDEOS an all-in-one solution for a range of wireless connectivity options.
Available in yellow, blue, and purple, the IDEOS, with Android 2.2 pre-installed, not only runs fast, but also supports functions such as voice dialing, voice navigation, and the ability to run applications off the SD card. With more than 70,000 applications available in the Android MarketTM, IDEOS provides a wide range of communication, entertainment, and office and financial management applications.
.Kevin Tao, CEO of Huawei Device, said, “The popularity of the smartphone is one of the key tools to bringing people into the ‘Golden Age of Mobile Broadband,’ which is linked to Google’s mobile internet strategy. We are proud to have so rapidly achieved our declared goal from early 2010 by developing a US$150 smartphone, with a great user experience. The IDEOS is an affordable option, designed to lower barriers to entry in order to allow everyone to easily access the mobile internet.”
The name, "IDEOS," represents creativity and inspiration: the "ID” represents the industrial design-centric hardware platform, the "OS” represents the operating system as the core software platform, and the "E" symbolizes the evolution toward the mobile internet.
