What kind of smartphone can you buy with $99? That's the question Huawei has answered with the Ascend Y100, a fully featured Android phone exclusively sold in Australia through Vodafone .

Value for money; Some nice UI touches; Decent battery life

Tiny screen; Poor default keyboard; Can be sluggish at times

The Huawei Y 100 is a pretty cheap smartphone. It's only £79.99 and is a diddy little thing which could be the ideal first smartphone for youngsters, pensioners and those that have been scared off smartphones by the price.

If you're a bit out of pocket but serious about browsing the web, playing with apps or taking snaps on the move, we'd recommend a larger budget phone such as the Orange San Francisco II or HTC Explorer.

Compact build; great battery life; surprisingly usable keyboard

Restrictive and pixelated screen; bog-standard camera

What kind of smartphone can you buy with £59.99? That's the question Huawei has answered with the Ascend Y100, a fully featured Android phone may have a tiny screen, a mediocre camera and average performance but for under £100, can you really complain?

I purchased this in late january. i couldnt complain it was a good phone being that it was my first android. but as the months started going i seen that it started actin more slower, internet takes long to find connection.

Using media can quickly drain the battery. I think that the battery should be much stronger. I set my alar m at night with the battery ¾ full and when I wake up it, will be low and needing to be charged. It can be charged on the computer or through the charger adapter that cam e in the package.
