I only wanted a simple smartphone with wifi capability so I can take photos and send them direct to my online account. This ably fulfills that and is simple to use.

A very good entry level durable phone touch is very good, I bought this for my fife before 2 years

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.

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. The Ascend Y100 may have a tiny screen, a mediocre camera and average performance but for under $100, can you really complain?

The Huawei Ascend Y100 has a tiny screen, a mediocre camera and average performance. However, it's all about the price in this instance. At under $100, we can't fault the Ascend Y100 too much. If you're patient and can live with a cramped screen, then this is a fully featured Android phone for a great price.

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

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

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

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

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?

The very average two-megapixel snapper can't compete with the 3-5 megapixel models of other handsets and the meagre onboard storage needs to be expanded with a microSD card.

Neat build; excellent battery life; amazingly usable keyboard

Small and pixelated display; mediocre camera

Nice sleek mobile. Does not have the 4GB on board storage as said in the description. Does have android 2.3 and is good for playing games (Angry Birds). But you have to install them on the SD Card (which you will need a 4 or Higher GB) as the mobile hasn't got the room to store apps on it.

Easy to use; Fast; Slim

Battery goes to quickly; No headphones

Last year was the first time we had seen smartphones drop to a point where pretty much anyone could afford them, as Huawei and ZTE both joined in and provided Australian telcos with cheap handsets. So what does $99 get you in 2012?

Very friendly to the wallet; Surprisingly responsive screen

Tiny screen doesn't fit much text or make it easy to use the on-screen keyboard; Some apps and games can offer weak performance; Terrible camera; Locked to Vodafone
