We have seen a slate of cheap phones being launched pre-MWC as well as at the event. The much-touted Nokia X was launched at $122. It is an Android-based phone and uses the dual-core 1GHz Snapdragon processor. This makes it quite a steal. Sure, the features are not what you get in a $400 Android phone.

It’s ergonomically designed but doesn’t have space for a MicroSD card, which means the memory cannot be expanded.
