iNew U5W
This usually happens when MediaTek
announce an efficiently-priced SoC. A lot of companies jump the gun and
announce devices based on it. We’ve seen that with the Helio X10, P10 and
almost every other MediaTek SoC.
Coming to the subject of this article,
it’s the new iNew U5W. It’s a variant of the already existing U5 which comes
with the MediaTek MT6735. The U5W, on the other hand, takes budget to another
level and features the MT6580.
Full specifications of this phone
include a 5-inch 854 x 480p display, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB on-board ROM (expandable
via microSD), a 5 mega-pixel rear camera, 2 mega-pixel front-facing camera, and
lastly, a 3,000 mAh battery.
iNew claim that the U5W uses a
full-aluminium chassis which makes the phone sturdier than devices in its
range. The phone runs Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, and is expected to
go on sale in the coming few days. There’s no word on the pricing yet, but
expect it to be in the UMi Rome X-Bluboo Picasso range.
