Xiaomi will be taking on
ZTE and the Nvidia
Tegra 4 powered
ZTE U998S and the DaKele with rumoured
Snapdragon 800 processor in this years 1999 Yuan price wars!
A few years ago a small
Android phone company no one had ever heard of
launched a dual-core Android
phone with 1GB RAM and 4-inch display. The
phone was an amazing success thanks to the 1999 Yuan price tag and amazing marketing. That
phone of course was the original Xiaomi M1.
Xiaomi have continued to target the 1999 Yuan price point with the Xiaomi Mi2 last year (and the updated Xiaomi Mi2S) and this year with the
Mi3, but rather than being the only one to offer high-end hardware at aftordable prices they are going to have some compeition!
The first major
rival comes from
ZTE.
The U998S will have a 5-inch display and
Tegra 4 CPU! Good stuff! The next
rival comes from lesser known DaKele!
The Dakele 3 (the third
phone from this Chinese brand) is also rumoured to costs 1999 Yuan ($320) but is purported to have a 5.
5-inch 1080 panel, 4000mAh battery and either a Snapdragon 800
chipset or Nvidia
Tegra 4.
All we have to go on for now is the above leaked render and a suggest launch time of October 2013!
We think it’s going to be an exciting next few months!
