Rockchips' Nokia N8 Clone gets a Dual Core CPU and Android

The N8 might have a fantastic capable of shooting short action movies, but it kind of sucks as a smartphone, wouldn’t it have been great if had dumped Symbian for Android?

Well stop wishing what could have been and look at what Chinese makers have actually done. They’ve taken their extremely capable and popular ARM 9 600 Mhz CPU, a 3.5 inch touch screen, a 5 mega-pixel plus an Android 2.1 O.S and wrapped it all up in an alloy casing mimicking the N8. So you get all the benefits of an Android in an N8 shell only with a lower spec camera? Well not quite. Although the genuine N8 is going to put this 5 mepa-pixel unit with it’s dual LED flash to shame, this Rockchip can happily hold it’s own when compared to the iPhone in terms of photography. Also that means a games running faster and clearer than on most Android devices plus excellent video play back even in HD! The unit here is still a prototype, but expect a production model anytime soon at a considerably cheaper price than a genuine N8. Follow us on for more and Android news.
