Kata Drive: 6.95-inch phablet for the road

Kata’s newest device in town that seems to position itself as a phone you’d use on your car dashboard.

The Kata Drive is a huge smartphone or maybe a tablet with a display that measures 6.95-inches diagonally. It’s an IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. It’s powered by a MediaTek MT8321 quad-core processor paired with a Mali GPU. Memory and storage are either 1GB+8GB or a better 2GB+16GB choice.

There’s also an 8MP and 5MP shooters, 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a fairly large 3300mAh. It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop but looks like to be tailored for road use ala Android Auto.
