Bluboo X9 intro video
Bluboo don’t mention when the phone will go on sale but they do say that a reseller price of just $149.99 has been finalised.
looks a lot like the ECOO E05 that ecoo did not manage to pull off…
any word on the XTOUCH PRO ???
Not a bad looking device, rest of the specs are pretty standard for this price range but the fingerprint is a nice bonus.
