Carphone Warehouse announces the Huawei Y3, the UK’s lowest priced smartphone

UK dwellers in the market for an affordable, no-nonsense handset might be interested in the country’s lowest priced smartphone; the Huawei Y3 which is available from Carphone Warehouse. The handset is available on CPW’s iD network from just £5 per month with no upfront charge on a 2-year contract or £59 SIM-free. While for many it won’t be suitable as their main handset, the Huawei Y3 could do a job as a secondary, backup device. The Huawei Y3 sports the following specifications:

• Android 4.4 KitKat with Huawei’s Emotion UI 3.0 Lite
• 4-Inch LCD with 480 x 800 resolution and 223ppi
• Spreadtrum 7731 quad-core processor @ 1.2GHz
• 512MB RAM
• 4GB Internal storage
• MicroSD card support (up to 32GB)

• Standard SIM
• Battery: 1,730mAh
• Dimensions: 122.6 x 63.8 x 10.9mm
• Weight: 120 grams
• Available in black or white

The 24-month contract option gets you 5,000 texts, 150 minutes and 250MB data for £5 each month. It isn’t going to go head to head with the Nexus 6P or the upcoming Mate 8, but then it costs a fraction of the price. You can grab the Huawei Y3 here.
