Archos are better known for their affordable range of
Android tablets, so have decided to extend their range of products to include 3
new Chinese made Android
smartphones.
As you would expect, being an
OEM product from a
Chinese phone maker, the 3
Archos handsets come equipped with Mediatek chips and in all the most popular screen sizes available.
Heading up the range is the
Archos 53 Platinum with a 5.3-inch IPS display and
quad-core MT6589 CPU. The
phone looks alot like handsets from Zopo and THL and could even be from the same
factory. Further down the range is the 5-inch
quad-core Archos 50 Platinum, while a tiny 3.5-inch model holds up the
entry-level end of things.
Being
MTK phones, each boasts dual-sim support, SD card readers,
GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G but no LTE. They each ship with Android 4.1.2 and can be picked up from $99.99 to $249.99.
