Earlier this morning AT&T showed off the Sony Xperia TL, and proving that it is in fact real. Now AT&T is showing off the Huawei Fusion 2, it’ll be a prepaid device, they also showed off a brand new data plan to go along with it. You can now get 1GB of data, along with unlimited texting to 100 countries, all for $65/month. That’s $10 cheaper than their old 1GB plan. Currently their prepaid plans still show unlimited data, texting and calling for $50/month. So maybe that’s for special phones? More of the feature phones possibly? We’ll have to see. The Fusion 2 isn’t the best device in the world, but for a prepaid device, it’s not to bad. Here are it’s specs:
- 3.2 megapixel camera
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread
- 3.5-inch 320 x 480 display
- 800 MHz dual-core processor with 512 MB of RAM
