80's
Chinese console brand made a bit of a comeback this year with the
launch of an
Android tablet and impressive dual-core smartphone, but for 2013 Subor are stepping it up a gear with the
quad-core Dream S!
Subor's current phone, the
Dream X, is a find device. It ticks all the boxes with its dual-core MT6577 cpu, 4GB ROM, 4.5 inch HD
display and 1GB
RAM, but so do a huge number of very similar
Chinese models.
For 2013 Subor are stepping things up with the launch of the new quad-core Dream S, but rather than following the crowd and opt for a 5-inch display and MT6589 CPU they have chosen something a little different!
While many companies including
UMi,
JiaYu, Oppo, Lenovo etc, are headed down the Mediatek route for their flagship phones, Subor are reportedly going with a Qualcomm APQ8064
quad-core processor chip clocked at a very hot 1.7Ghz! This on its own should prove to be powerful enough, but to ensure there is no bottle neck, Subor have dropped in
2GB too!
Subor have also gone their own way with the choice of screen size and will be offering the Dream S with a 4.5-inch 1280 x 768, which is a change for the previously mentioned 1080 display.
Other highlights of the
Subor Dream S include a 12 mega-pixel main
camera, 3.2 mega-pixel front camera, 3500mAh
battery all held nicely inside an attractive 9.8mm body!
Pricing and a
release date have yet to be confirmed but judging by other companies expect a price of around 1299-1499 Yuan ($208 - $240)and a
release date of mid January.
