There’s some news today for those of you looking for an affordable smartphone with no service agreement as MetroPCS has just released the Huawei Activa 4G. This is Huawei’s first 4G LTE smartphone for the U.S market and has enough about it, along with a price of only $149, to make it a good choice for some.

Specs-wise this Huawei handset may not be particularly exciting but it’s certainly decent enough and as MetroPCS is a prepaid wireless carrier, plenty might see the price tag of less than $150 as very reasonable, especially as it has 4G LTE connectivity. Look’s-wise it’s nothing to sniff at either. We’ll give you a quick rundown on some of the main specs and features.

The Huawei Activa 4G has an 800MHz processor, GCT’s GDM7240 single-chip 4G LTE solution, 3.5-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen display, a 5-megapixel rear camera with single LED flash along with a VGA front-facing shooter and runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It also has 151MB of internal memory, 32GB of external memory and it comes with a 4GB MicroSD card including Kung Fu Panda 2. Although there’s nothing hugely impressive it does seem that for the money you’re getting a reasonable enough set-up.

The Huawei Activa 4G is now on sale for a limited time both online and in stores priced at $149 (plus tax, after mail-in and instant rebate), according to the official MetroPCS Huawei press release which you can see at BGR. Executive vice president of Huawei Device USA Michael Chuang said, “MetroPCS is committed to providing customers with advanced, flexible and affordable smartphone options through its no-annual contract services, and is the ideal partner for Huawei’s entrance into a new era for smartphones and handsets.”
