The two tone,
ultra-thin design of
Vivo phones is the starting point many smaller
Chinese phone brands begin with when producing a
new phone, the Vtel
X1 is no different.
Local
phone maker Vtel have taken to the Vivo
X3 for inspiration of their
new Vtel
X1 (
X1 also being the name of a Vivo
phone from last year). Like Vivo phone’s the Vtel
X1 get’s the trademark two tone decoration with with white/silver or white/gold options and compact 6.8mm body.
Thankfully though Vtel don’t seem to be content with just making their
phone look like a Vivo, and see their own
phone rivalling models from the long established
phone maker. Dimensions are 143 x 70 x 6.8mm, the display is a
Gorilla Glass protected 5-inch 1280 x 720 model and the bezels are just 2.4mm thick! That’s thinner than the
Meizu MX3.
Procesing power comees from the popular quad-core MT6582 chipset, with 1GB RAM and 16GB of built in memory (no mention of an SD card). Dual-sim supports only GSM and
TD-SCDMA, but a WCDMA version will be
launched later in the year and cameras are an 8 mega-pixel front, 13 mega-pixel rear with sapphire glass lens.
If Vtel can
launch the
X1 for around 1800 Yuan or less, they could be on to a winner!
