Rejoice midrange phone lovers, another new phone (Huawei Vitria)

[telegraph]

Hello folks. I was looking at the metro web and stumbled on the newest metropcs phone. The Huawei Vitria! Huawei Vitria | Huawei Phones | Android Smartphones | No Contract | MetroPCS | MetroPCS . This looks like another fine example of a low midrange phone that Metropcs specializes in.

On a side note, does the word Vitria translate to anything in Chinese? I have no idea what the word means in English.

This Vitria has been at selected stores for like 2 weeks, and it showed up online just recently.

Vitreous in English refers to the jelly of the eyeball (among other things) - maybe Vitrea is meant to be the plural form?

I searched the word and one web site says it's Portuguese meaning 'Win' but it doesn't seems like reliable source. Other portugese dictionaries say it's doesn't exist.

Here's link anyway.

They need to stop releasing this garbage phones that nobody wants and release phones like the Moto X and Galaxy Note.

Except that if someone's on prepaid they might not want to spend $700 or $800 on a new phone whenever they need to.

I get it but they keep realising this very low budget phones that you can't even tell apart one from the other.

Those low budget phones are actually selling well (according to my friends who own multiple metro pcs stores in Dallas)

Of course this is a based on very very limited small sample, but there are actually large group of people who buy low budget phones.

I agree. The biggest key selling point of Android is low prices.

I think ots pointless for people who know what tgey want, who look at the specs of the phone before buying one. For general public who do not care much about CPU, ram, battery mah, variety is very important. They walk into the store to look at 10 phones, if there are only 4 on the shelf, it draws no attention at all. This phone is almost the same as optimus F3 and Valiant. F3 has less space but much better battery.

I suspect that the vast majority of people want a phone that can make telephone calls. Some may want text, fewer will be interested in email or web access.
The ability to do something "exotic" like show others pictures is well down the list if they ever figure it out.
At least one vendor has got that idea and they offer a smart phone with an app that essentially turns the phone into an old school type phone with limited choices on the main page.

There is also the law of diminishing returns. Few phones on the market today offer six or more times the performance or features that a $100.00 phone does.
