China Phone + Google Android

Imagine one of the best and free mobile OS installed on the cheapest phones in the market? Yeah, those cheap knock-off phones from China could probably one days come with an Android OS.

I realized there’s nothing in this world these Chinese factories cannot make so why not a cheap phone with Android OS in them?

It doesn’t need to be touchscreen but the basic specs that we’re seeing in the gray market will do: Dual Active SIM, QWERTY keyboard, WiFI, 3G, a TV Tuner, 256MB internal storage for Android App and up to 8GB microSD Card.

If they can do that and have Android OS 1.5 in them then still sell it for under Php5,000, now that’s gonna be something. They don’t even have to put a fake Nokia logo in them to sell these stuff.

But then again, because of poor quality control and lack of warranty, it’s still risk. Still an Android phone for under Php5k, I’ll try it!

Update: I heard Torque Mobile is doing a Pinoy Android dual SIM phone? Is that out already?

    There is already one model, called the “Q8”. It comes with Android 1.5, but due to low CPU specs and <128MB ram it's unlikely to run anything newer.

    guys, alam nyo guys instead of buying our products like my phone it’s better di ba! parang dalawang tindahan isa sa kapitbahay at isa foreigner mas binibili pa natin yung sa product ng foreigner kaysa sa product natin, pinapatay natin ang sarili nating product. buy our product ” i love my phone mura na pinoy product pa” khit saan music, sayaw, pagkain (chocolates). ganyan ang mga foreign products papatayin nila ang atin product sa susunod pati tayo mismo instict na rin mawawala na rin ang lahi ng pilipino. gising tayo mga kababayan. buy fist our product.
