Huawei Ideos X1 U8180 Black 3G WI-FI Android Touchscreen, New, GSM unlocked
Brand new and GSM unlocked, this Huawei Ideos X1 U8180 Black 3G WI-FI Android Touchscreen is the pocket-size 2.8-inch Android 2.2 handset in black. Export buyers serving prepaid markets with live UMTS service, retro-tech shops that collect early Android, and prop departments that want a period-correct small smartphone are the fit.
The Huawei IDEOS X1 (U8180) is a 2011 entry-level Android, one of the smallest smartphones of its year: a 2.8-inch QVGA capacitive touchscreen, Android 2.2 Froyo with access to the Android Market, a 3.2 MP camera, 3G HSDPA data, Wi-Fi with hotspot, Bluetooth, A-GPS with compass, an FM radio, a 3.5 mm jack, and a weight of about 100 g. It was sold unlocked and through prepaid brands in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Dealers buy the IDEOS X1 from TG Wireless as a boxed 3G-era Android for export markets where UMTS is still live, for collectors, and for props and parts; it has no LTE and no US service.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The IDEOS X1 U8180 is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM service on August 3, 2026, so it no longer registers for calls or data on a US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers move it into export markets where GSM or UMTS is still live, to collectors and prop houses, to parts dealers, and to Wi-Fi-only use where the device supports it.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where GSM or UMTS service is still live and an early Android handset sells at a low ticket.

- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct phones.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
