An official Weibo post has revealed that 360 Mobiles
has an event scheduled for August 31st. Although the teaser poster doesn’t
reveal the name of the device, a leaked internal mail does and also includes
the price. The device will be called the 360 Mobiles Vizza and will be priced
at ¥ 1099 (US$ 167).
The 360 Mobiles Vizza will come with a 5.5-inch full
HD screen, a Snapdragon 425 processor and a 3940 mAh battery. The RAM and
storage capacity of the device wasn’t specifically disclosed but sources say it
will likely have 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
The reason for the assumption is as a result of the
official teaser poster for the launch which throws shades at manufacturers that
release phones with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM and price them at ¥ 1000 (US$ 152).
360 Mobiles is known for pricing its phone
competitively. The 360 Mobiles N5S has a 6GB RAM + 32GB variant that sells for
¥ 1399 (US$ 212). The leaked internal mail above also shows the price of the 64GB
variant of the N5S as ¥ 1700 (US$ 258). So it won’t be surprising to see it launch
a 4GB RAM phone for ¥ 1099.
The 360 Mobiles Vizza will have a 5MP front facing
camera and a 13MP rear camera. It will run Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box
and will be the first phone to sport the new 360 OS 3.0 which will be unveiled
on the same day. Availability details will be revealed when it launches on
Thursday.
