Exclusive: $99 Bluboo C100 teased with 64bit and Android 5.1 Lollipop

It’s turning out to be an amazing year for Chinese smartphones, and you don’t just have to be looking at the flagships to see some improvement even sub $100 phones like the Bluboo C100 are impressive.

At the time of writing Bluboo have only released this rather simple teaser on their official website. The information on the image is nothing but a bunch of numbers to those not familiar with Chinese smartphones, but we think we can figure most of the details out.

The name of the phone seems to be C100 and looking at the screen on the render we can assume it is running Android 5.1 Lollipop. “4G Killer” and the numbers “64 and 4” indicate that we will be looking at a quad-core 64bit Mediatek chip, either the MT6732 or the newer MT6735 with World 4G mode.

Other details are a 5-inch 720p display, pretty amazing for a $99 smartphone, and a metal body measuring only 7.5mm thick.

The teaser does seem to suggest the amount of RAM, battery size, onboard memory or the camera specifications, but so far so good!
