Huawei Ascend Y200 starter smartphone
NEW ORLEANS--Huawei issued forth no formal product announcement at CTIA 2012, but I did find this new Android smartphone quietly sitting at Huawei's booth.
The Ascend Y200 is part of Huawei's latest strategy in naming families of phones. The "Y" stands for youth, which also typifies mass market, entry-level phones with smaller screens, slower processors, and fewer camera extras.

An Android Gingerbread phone, the Ascend Y200 has a 3.5-inch touch screen, a 1GHz processor, and a 3.2-megapixel camera with no flash. It's a fairly attractive phone nonetheless, with smooth, round lines and a dark body.

Although there's no carrier or pricing information yet, the Ascend Y200 is slated for a U.S. release later this year, according to Huawei's executive vice president of products, James Jiang.
The handset-maker will also have other launches in the pipeline over the next few months.
