Remember the Neo
N003 aka the worlds cheapest 5-inch
1080 phone? We'll here is the
first ever
hands on with a prototype version of the handset!
In a marketing point of view Neo are more sensible than their rival. They have kept quiet about the flagship N003, leaking only tasty morsels here and there, and haven't made any outlandish claims or broken any release date promises, which makes the appearance of this Neo
N003 hands on video all the more exciting!
In their forum posting, where this video was originally posted, Neo are quick to point out that the
phone in the video is a preproduction device and the debugging is ongoing, which explains some apparent touch
screen issues, a low 11,776 Antutu score and rather small application icons.
Despite the lagging performance now and then, the Neo
N003 does look rather good.
OTG is working and can be seen in the video with a wireless mouse demonstration, we also get to see how it handles playing 1080hd video and games to a flat
screen TV!
As for the
phone itself, the video doesn't give us a very close look at the exterior but we do get to see that the body is rather thick and is comprised of a white plastic rear which wraps around the an all black face. On the inside we can see places for dual-sim cards, an SD card and the large
3000mAh battery.
The Neo
N003 is a 5-inch
1080 phone with
quad-core MT6589 CPU. Prices are said to start from 899 Yuan for the 1GB version, there will also me a 2GB RAM model. Each
phone offers OTG, Yamaha audio,
13 mega-pixel rear camera and a
3000mAh battery.
