Philips V800
Flip phones used to rule the land, now
their habitat has shrunk to a tiny part of the Far Eastern markets. The latest
addition is the Philips V800, not official yet, but it passed through TENAA
(China's wireless regulator). The phone runs Android 5.1 and has entry-level
specs.
It has two identical screens - 3.7"
TFTs with 720p resolution (one outside, one inside). There are two cameras as
well - one outside, on the back (13 MP/1080p) and one on the inside for selfies
(5 MP).
The Philips V800 measures 19.1 mm thick
and weighs 206 grams. There's a reason flip phones fell out of fashion when
"thin and light" became the new hotness.
Anyway, it has a quad-core processor at
1.5 GHz, it has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage (thankfully, with a microSD
slot). On the plus side, there's LTE connectivity (both global and Chinese
flavors).
There's no word on launch date or
pricing yet, but since it passed though TENAA it can't be long now.
