China maybe is not the best point of reference of handsets, owing to we can find in its market, mobile device brands that sound too much familiar, like Nokla or HiPhone. But this time, China offers a handset with an original feature, a smartphone that runs Windows Mobile or Android. The client chooses. TechFaith Wireless and Qigi Future Technology announced it with the name of QiGi i6.
Unfortunately, instead of offering a dual-boot approach, the i6 comes in separate models: i6-Goal (Android) and i6-Win (WM 6.1). The two models differ only with respect to their operating system ROMS. On the other hand, both models share the following features:
- 2.8” LCD touchscreen display with 320×240 resolution.
- Marxvel PXA310 processor clocked at 624MHZ .
- Bluetooth connectivity.
- 2 megapixel camera.
- Wi-Fi support.
- microSD memory card slot.
- GPS navitation.
- Dimensions: 109 x 58 x 14.9 mm.
- No 3G connectivity
Pricing and availability for both devices have not been released. However, the i6-Goal (the first Android-powered mobile phone in China) will be “shipping soon,” according to Qigi.
