There are more and more dual-core MT6577 phones arriving on the Chinese market than we can shake a stick at and many of them are coming in XXL 6 inchphablet sizes! Here is the latest monster phone named the Mimi Pad3 which is on sale for $200!
While it is apparent that 6 inchphablet devices are becoming hugely popular, I personally won’t be convinced by them until the screen resolution increases considerably and unfortunately that goes for the Mimi Pad3 too.
Gizchina News of the week
Despite having a great looking design, good price and a powerful dual-core CPU I can’t get past that this 6 inchphone has a resolution of just 800 X 480! I’m sure some users won’t be put off by this and will throughly enjoy the Mimi Pad3 as a convenient phablet device, but for myself I’m far from sold on the idea.
If, however you can get past the low resolution screen, the Mimi Pad3phablet does offer a pretty good specifiation which includes a dual-core MT6577 CPU, 3000mAh battery, Android 4.0 OS and a micro SD card reader in case the 4GB of onboard memory isn’t enough.
Oh and it comes with a rather pitiful 512mb RAM! Who is this phablet aimed at?

Hi Andy,
I’m with you, lad !
Do you think we’re the only people who have noticed this … and where’s the 12MP camera these 6 inchers need ?
If the Jiayu G3 (for example) can fit a 3000 mAh battery in there 4.5″ phone, it seems to mee that this 6″ monster is half empty on the inside!
Excellent, any hint as of when they will be out?
800×480 at 6 inches is 163 ppi, the same as the iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS. It’s not as horrible as everyone makes it seem. And the iPhone 4S only has 512mb of ram, which is more than enough. For the price, these 6 inch phablets have very good specs.
