Huawei SnapTo, the smartphone that
was recently listed at an e-commerce
website, has been officially launched in
the US.
Priced at $179.99 (approximately Rs.
11,200), the Huawei SnapTo smartphon
will be available via Amazon in the US
and will be available as a factory
unlocked device. The company notes on
the Amazon listing that the handset will
work with both AT&T and T-Mobile
networks.
Currently, the online retailer is taking pre
orders for the handset while noting that i
will be released on April 17.
It's worth noting that the pricing of the
Huawei SnapTo has been kept around
that of Motorola's immensely popular
Moto G (Gen 2) , which was launched in
India at Rs. 12,999 for the 16GB model.
This might mean that the Chinese
handset maker might promote the
smartphone as direct competition to the
second-generation Moto G.
Unfortunately, at this point the Chinese
company has not revealed whether the
Huawei SnapTo will be launching in
other markets as well.
The smartphone features a 5-inch HD
(720x1280 pixels) TFT LCD display and
is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon
400 processor coupled with 1GB of RAM.
The Android 4.4-KitKat based handset
includes 8GB of inbuilt storage and
supports expandable storage via microS
card.
The Huawei SnapTo sports a 5-
megapixel rear camera while there is a 2
megapixel front camera also onboard.
The smartphone is backed by a
2200mAh battery, while it supports AT&
and T-Mobile LTE bands.
Huawei earlier this week posted a list of
smartphones that would receive the
Android 5.0 Lollipop update starting nex
month. The Android 5.0 Lollipop update
list on the Huawei EMUI China page
includes the Ascend Mate 7 , Ascend P7 ,
Ascend Mate 2, Honor 4X , Honor 6,
Honor 6 Plus and Ascend G7
smartphones.
