Pricing details of the
Neo N003 have been
leaked and show that the next-gen
quad-core phone will undercut a number of rivals.
If you are currently looking to spend around 1000 Yuan ($160) on a Chinese
Android phone I really do not envy your choices! From the top of my head you have a choice of JiaYu G4,
Umi X2, and now the
Neo N003! Each
phone will
cost just 1000 Yuan and each one offers amazing value for money.
However, is is starting to look like Neo could lead the JiaYu and Umi when it comes to price and performance thanks to a number of key upgrades over rival phones. The
Neo N003 will come with a quad-core
MT6589 CPU, 5.3-inch 720
display,
13 mega-pixel rear
camera and large
3000mAh battery.
In comparison the JiaYu G4 will only offer a smaller 1800mAh
battery and
4.7-inch display at 999 Yuan (the larger
battery model will
cost a little more) and the
Umi X2 will feature a smaller 5-inch
display (however it is reported to be a
1080p model).
We haven't heard any official release notes for the Neo N003, but we could expect an official announcement in March with phones going on sale in either April or May.
