While newer and more expensive Android flagship smartphones are going for bigger screens, more powerful processors and fancy colours while attempting hyper-intuitive user interfaces, it's great to see some vitality in the entry level of the spectrum.
Huawei's Ascend Y300 brings dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, a 4-inch IPS display, 5 megapixel camera, a fairly recent build of the Android OS (4.1), voice control, and 4G-LTE connectivity for under $100. That's truly impressive.
