Ulefone Paris X gets lower spec and slightly lower price tag

Ulefone made the odd and unpopular decision to downgrade the latest Be Touch 3, now they are doing the same for the Ulefone Paris X which will see lower hardware at only a $10 saving.

With a name like the Ulefone Paris X, you would be forgiven for thinking that this is an updated version of the Ulefone Paris. Perhaps this new 'X' edition would get a FHD display, octacore chipset and more RAM? Those were my first thoughts too, but I was wrong.

The Ulefone Paris X is actually a new budget version of the Ulefone Paris, with largely the same hardware with only difference made to the chipset and the rear camera. The original Paris had a 1.3Ghz octa-core MT6753 where as the Paris X is 1.0Ghz quad-core, and the 13 mega-pixel OV sensor has now been downgraded to a Sony IMX166 8 mega-pixel.

Those few differences mean only a $10 difference in price between the current Ulefone Paris and the new Ulefone Paris X, and I'm not sure that's a tempting enough saving to choose one over the other. What do you guys think?
