Hmm. Very interesting. Though I'm always weary of 100% Chinese made electronic devices. Especially since their government is big time into spying and are cyber criminals. If I got this phone, I would re-flash it, but being partitioned, it probably would still have other software running on it spying. :laugh2:
There is a great video of it if you click through the link.
=================================================
While US Android users are all full of glee that they're finally getting the Samsung Galaxy S II in the United States, a far more significant Android smartphone is being developed... In China. It's faster than any other smartphone, has a beautiful and fluid user interface, top-notch hardware quality, a dual-partition setup so you can keep using the phone while it updates... And will sell for a mere $310, no contract or whatever other nonsense. Hello Xiaomi Phone.
Unlike what some people tend to expect from Chinese companies, this phone is not a copy or a crappy product with even crappier software. We're looking at a dual core 1.5Ghz chip (Qualcomm MSM8260 SoC), Adreno 220 graphics processor, 1GB of RAM, and 4GB of ROM. It has all the usual stuff - WiFi, Bluetooth, AGPS, and so on. It has a 4" 480×854 LCD built by Sharp, and it even has GLONASS, the Russian GPS alternative. It also has two antennas for better reception, and a massive 1930mAh battery (as opposed to the more common 1400mAh or 1500mAh ones), which promises to deliver two days of "real use" (whatever that means).
