Homtom HT17
It’s probably not needed to overly
introduce the Homtom brand, the chinese phone makers are already well
established as mainly the budget oriented producers. For the future they are
planning to climb the ladder with the flagship model Homtom HT10, but before
that we should be first getting yet another budget model with Homtom HT17.
The Homtom HT17 could be the first phone
sporting the new Mediatek chipset MT6737, so what could we expect from this
successor of the popular budget MT6735 line in this phone? Well the CPU part
looks pretty much almost the same with 64-bit quad core processor clocked at
1.1 GHz, but if we are to believe the promo then then the power effiency level
should improve compared to the last gen. Claims about the performance boost are
pretty much suspect, because its the same cores with same clocking (its 1.0 GHz
in MT6735P and 1.3 GHz in full MT6735).
First batches of information about new
products can get messy of course so let’s keep an eye out for clarification
about that. Nonetheless the Homtom HT17 should see the light of day maybe even
during May.
