Gizchina News of the week
Bluboo join phone makers, Elephone, Lenovo, Huawei, Xiaomi, Meizu and many many others who also see the Indian phone market as their next big step.
There is no confirmation of the launch date, or if the flagship Xtouch Pro with Helio X10 will also make the trip to India, but pricing for the standard 32GB phone has been announced at Rs 14999 ($229). Is that the type of pricing you are willing to pay for this 5-inch Chinese phone?
A little confused.
14999 for the helio x10 version or the MT6753?
If its for the MT6753 they they are crazy and didnt do their homework about the indian smartphone market.
Lenovo is a reputed brand in India and sells many MT6752, MT6753 phones for less. So does other brands.
For gods sake Xiaomi MI4 16gb version and Huawei Honor 6 is avail. for the same price.
But if the price is for Helio x10 version. Then its very intresting.
I think the price of $229 for a 5-incher, 3/32GB and Helio X10 would be a great bargain. But I lost trust in Bluboo after failed promises, false release dates and zero customer support.
15000 rs for mt6753? no way. they cant even sell more than 1000 sets in india. we have lenevo k3 and meizu m2 note with same chipset for 10000, infocus m 810 with snapdragon 801 for 13000, and mi4c snapdragon 808 for 15000. why we even think for this crap. it will be a big flop in india
Agreed
Think Aircel + Bluboo will be doing booboo after this. They forget that there is internet in India and Gizchina on the internet. plus the many other websites. 😀
u guys are lucky … wayyyy too lucky in India ..
here in Pakistan , this phone would retail for the VERY least of 30k PKR :/
you should be content with wat ur getting and believe me , its not as bad a deal as u think
bro today i ordered phicomm passion 660,which is a 5 inch phone with 1080p display,2nd generation 615 snapdragon processor & 13 mp camera for 108 dolllor , & also 2 days back a new phone from coolpad note 3 was launched with 5.5 inch 1080p,3 gb ram,mt6753 processor,13 mp camera + fingerprint sensor and cost approx 120 dollor,which is half of this bluboo crap. from that angle this phone is really a very bad deal.
Andi, I’d swear that I recently (past 2 weeks?) read an article here about a well spec’d Chinese smartphone that said it would be dual boot Lollipop + WP10. Do you recall which phone? Thanks!
I think it was a tablet… There are some with dual boot, but no smartphone yet as i recall
Could be the rumors about the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2
It was probably an article about the Elephone Vowney.
