New Delhi: Chinese handset maker Huawei has launched a new 5.5-inch Android smartphone, dubbed B199, in China costing 1,999 Chinese yuan (roughly Rs. 20,000).
Though for now it seems to be a China-specific device, much like its predecessor A199, its global availability can't be ruled out.
The smartphone features a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with 720p resolution and runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS, paired with the company's Emotion UI 2.0.
It is a dual-SIM device powered by a quad-core Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.6GHz, along with an Adreno 305 for graphics and 2GB RAM for better multitasking. It offers a 13-megapixel rear camera with flash, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling. B199 offers 16GB of in-built storage, which can be further expanded.
Connectivity options include: 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The device gets its juice from a battery of 3,000mAh. Huawei says that'll power the phone through long browsing sessions and even let you charge other devices.
