Hardware Requirements - Will it run on a slow Smartphone?

I'm going to buy a Huawei Ascend y2000 or some similar low end phone, specs: 800Mhz, 256 MB Ram, Android 2.3
Will Scumm VM run? Will games be slow?

I used to play (and finish!) games with ScummVM 1.4.x on a HTC Wildfire S (with Android 2.3.5, HVGA screen, 600MHz CPU).

All the scumm games (maniac, mi1, mi2, ..., dig, ft) and also FOTAQ (floppy) were running fine and I did not notice any lags or delays.

Great thanks for the info

Huawei has a bit less RAM but higher CPU so I should probably be fine.

I own a Huawei ideos x3 aka U8510 which is really low-end hardware: 600MHz ARMv6, 256MB RAM, HVGA screen, android 2.3.5.
Even on this slow device the "old" scummvm games like monkey island, broken sword, etc. run very well. I didn't try interactive video like urban runner, but as long as that's not your use case you should definitely be fine.
