Huawei Expo / SnapTo is a new, affordable LTE smartphone that works on AT&T and T-Mobile

Huawei recently introduced a brand new smartphone that should be of interest to customers looking for an affordable LTE handset. Called Huawei SnapTo (or Huawei Expo), the new device can be pre-ordered from Amazon in the US, and should start shipping on April 9.

The SnapTo / Expo is compatible with the 3G and LTE networks of AT&T and T-Mobile, and is offered for $179.99, unlocked, in two color versions: black and white. The smartphone is 7.6 mm thin, and has a "leather-texture finish" on the back.

Powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, the Huawei SnapTo / Expo sports a 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, coming with a 5 MP rear camera, as well as with a 2 MP front-facing camera. Other features include 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory, microSD card support, and a 2200 mAh battery.

Unfortunately, the new Huawei smartphone doesn't run Android Lollipop, instead coming with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. All in all, this seems to be a worthy Moto G LTE competitor. Interested?
