Huawei Ascend Y201 Pro: Price, Specs and Availability in the Philippines

Huawei Philippines recently teased via their Facebook page a photo showing the Huawei Ascend Y200 with caption "This one is coming Your Way soon :-)" and after some research we found out that it may actually be the entry level Huawei Ascend Y201 Pro, since the Huawei Ascend Y200 is already available in the Philippines (since September 2012) for a price of just Php5,490 and comes with a FREE Smart Broadband SIM plus a 60 day Inquirer Digital subscription. More details after the jump.

What's the difference between Huawei Ascend Y201 Pro vs Huawei Ascend Y200?
SPECS: Both of them comes with an 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7225A processor, Adreno 200 GPU and a 3.5-inch HVGA display (TFT for the Y201 Pro and IPS for the Y200), but the Ascend Y201 Pro boast a 512MB RAM (256MB for the Y200), 4GB of internal storage (512MB for the Y200), 1400mAh Li-Ion battery (1250mAh for the Y200) and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS (The Huawei Ascend Y200 is still running Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS).
