Believe it or not, but there is still room in China for another $130
quad-core machine, and this one is by far the best looking we have seen yet! Full
details of the
Beidou Red Pepper here!
Beidou are no stranger to the sub 1000 Yuan
phone market. The first
phone they
launched was the worlds cheapest dual-core
phone when
launched 2 years ago, and was quickly followed by a number of
quad-core models.
The Beidou Red Pepper, though is not only the best looking Beidou
phone to date, but it is also one of the better designed $130 phones we have seem so far! Before drooling over the body, let’s take a look at the hardware. Up front there is a 5-inch 1280 x
720 display, a
quad-core MT6582 processor and 1GB RAM take care of performance and 13 mega-pixel rear, 5 mega-pixel front cameras are just what we like to see on affordable smartphones!
On to the design, well the
Red Pepper sure doesn’t look like a $130 phone, and (in our opinion) is much better looking than what Xiaomi, Huawei or
iOcean have to offer. Narrow bezels and little overhang top and bottom ensure a compact size of 143.3 x 70.3 x 8.7mm, while the patterned rear reminds us of the
UMi Cross and Nexus 4.
The
retail price for the Beidou
Red Pepper will go on
sale for 799 Yuan, but 1000 units of the
phone will be on
sale for only 698 Yuan as a limited offer.
