Listen to article

Torque has just announced this afternoon their new series of dual-core dual-SIM Android smartphones called DROIDZ, sporting displays from 4 inches to a massive 6 inches.

Starting the lineup is the DROIDZ Atom which sports a 4-inch WVGA (800 x 480) capacitive touchscreen. It has a 5 megapixel camera with flash, VGA front-facing, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, 4GB internal storage and microSD support for up to 32GB. Powering the device is a dual-core processor clocked at 1 GHz, 512 MB of RAM and runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Next up is Torque’s phablet called the DROIDZ Motion – sporting a 5.3-inch qHD (960 x 540) capacitive touchscreen. It has the same specs as the DROIDZ Blast but with the addition of a mobile TV. So instead of pulling out a stylus, you pull out a small antenna instead.

512MB RAM
4GB internal storage

Finalizing the DROIDZ smartphone lineup is the massive DROIDZ Life which has a 6-inch FWVGA (854 x 480) capacitive touchscreen and sports the same specs as the DROIDZ Blast. There’s no mobile TV but you do get a really large display.

Torque DROIDZ Life specs:
6.0inch display @ 854×480 pixels
Mediatek MT6577 1GHz dual-core processor
512MB RAM
4GB internal storage

8MP rear camera with LED flash
VGA front-facing camera
Android 4.1 Jellybean

The DROIDZ smartphones run a customized version of Android that uses Torque’s DROIDZ Flex Technology which enhances the graphics processing powers of the handsets.

(Note: The OS used by the DROIDZ during the announcement is just a test OS and not the final and official OS, which explains why it looks similar to other brand’s OS)

The DROIDZ are scheduled to be launched in January of 2013. There’s no specific pricing as of the moment but all of them will be priced below Php10,000.

Ang masasabi kolang ay ito, wag nyong bilhin ang unit brand na ito. Nakabili na ako ng cp sakanila b4 i68flow. Isang week lang bumigay na ang saksakan ng charger sa unit, nabaklas ang port, tapos overnight lang wala ng charge kahit naka idle lang. Ang speakers nito basag ang sound. Hay… Nasayang lang ang 4k ko. Mahina ang signal reception. Hindi kasi ako mismo ang bumili kaya nadale.

Exactly. The first three phones are Samsung designs: Galaxy S3 Mini, Galaxy S3, and Galaxy Note II, while the fourth one looks like a typical LG design. I hope Torque wouldn’t face any issues with this. They have been doing this too with their low-end phones, copying designs of Nokia.

So Cool!!! I wish its cheaper than CherryMobile and MYPhone. Can’t wait to see these new sets of phone in their branches. I hope they would have a somehow like Ipad 3rd gen size in their tablets and increase their RAM 3-4x cuz some apps has too big mb to install. Anywyas… i’m looking forward with these phones. Nice keep it up!! :)

No details as to the aspect ratio of that 6 incher but with how the design looks… it looks too narrow, putting it in landscape and watching movies on it won’t be pretty..i think.

Why does the Motion 6″ has a lower resolution than the other two? If only they are 1GB RAM, they would be great buys (depending on the price).

It looks like they are preannouncing, para hindi bumili ng CherryMobile/MyPhone/Cloudfone ang naghahanap ng Smartphone. The same way Cherry Mobile pre-empted Myphone 919 by announcing the Flame/Skyfire/Omega.

I have not tested nor owned a Torque phone and I am all for Pinoys getting these kinds of phones but those scream cheap. As in Samsung/LG knock-off cheap, on the looks department. Though the specs are not different from other cheap (price-wise) rebranded China phones, I’d opt for CM, MP or CF; they are more “distinct”.

i wonder kung anong performance nung JB na 512 RAM. nababasa ko kasi sa mga blog blog. karamihan dapat daw 1Gb. hihi… at sayang ang torque. ang dami daming names kelangan pa DRoidz? CM killed it in naming a device lols.

Galaxy S3 Mini, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, LG Optimus Vu. Pwede na din. Sana yung Atom eh kasing price lang ng Flare. At least eto magmumukhang S3.

But Torque, get ready to be double sued by Samsung and Motorola. lolz
