THLlaunched their new flagship Monkey King handset yesterday, but they have also quietly launched a newbudget handset costing just $159.99.
We had seen quite a few spy photos of the THLMonkey King and THL 200, however the THL 100 had remained a secret right up until today! Like the other newTHL phones there is an all new design, but it’s the price which has caught our attention.
Gizchina News of the week
At $159.99 the THL W100 is one of the most affordable Chinese Android phones we have seen from a larger phone maker, and they haven’t skimped on the hardware either! There is a 4.5-inch 960 x 540 display, 1.2Ghz MT6589 quad-core processor, 1GB RAM and Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean.
THL are shipping the W100 with a screen protector and 2 x 1800 mAh batteries which they claim will give the W100 a standby time of around 2-3 days. For those interested in picking up one of these low-cost quad-core phones head over to the Lightake store here.
Seriously, Andy\GIZCHINA, I love your site and reviews and all, but you really need to do more research with some of these posts…
The THL W100 has been out and selling strong internationally for months now, and the 159$ price has been dropped and some sites to even 142$ with a free case and 2 batteries…
Its the same as it was with the THL W8 that you reported it being launched around June when i had it in my hand since February…
It kind of ruins all your credibility ya know?
Peace
reports on israeli forums say the build quality is very good. the phone is very popular here. no gorilla glass. the camera is also said to be very good. the battery life sucks but most shops give you 2 of them
