iMan is one of the few Chinese manufacturers that
produce rugged smartphones. The
company is ready to release an entry level device with a price tag of around US$ 80, iMan X5, with standard specs and IP67 certification for those who don’t
want to spend a fortune for a rugged device.
iMan X5 will be compact with a 4.5″ display
with 5 points multitouch support. The SoC driving the device will be MT6580 for
adequate power with low consumption. Coupled with 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage,
it is enough for average users. The battery capacity of 3000 mAh will give the X5 an outstanding runtime
as the 4.5″ display and SoC are pretty power efficient. Besides the IP67
certification, Gorilla Glass 3 will be protecting the display. Lastly, it will
be a dual-SIM, dual-Standby device with an SOS button available and a 5MP
camera on the back.
The release date is not yet available, but it should
be soon enough.
