Update: The Sonic is now available from Dick Smith online for $248

Today Huawei held a media event up in Sydney to showcase some of their existing and new products that they plan to launch here in Australia before the end of the year. Besides mentions and a showing off of the MediaPad, Huawei announced that the Huawei Sonic is launching here in Australia and will sell via retail stores Dick Smith and Woolworths.There is no current pricing on the Sonic, but from the following specs we guarantee it won’t cost an arm and a leg.

  • 3.5-inch Capacitive Display
  • Android 2.3
  • 3.2MP Camera
  • 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 CPU
  • 1400mAh Battery
  • Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi b/g/n

The Sonic is nothing to write home about, though I can see it being pretty popular among people who wish to have a smartphone without the killer pricetag.
