Do you still remember about 399 Yuan LTE enable Xiaomi device which was showed off in TENAA at the end of last year? Unfortunately, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun confirmed in is Weibo account that creating that phone is impossible action due to the quality constraints at such a price tag. Naturally, we were disappointed about the announcement well.

However, we have good news for you. We’ll have the chance to get our hands a 399 Yuan price (64USD), of course, it’s not Xiaomi handset but from a Chinese smartphone manufacturer – China Unicom. So, although we may not see a Xiaomi device at this price range, at least we get such a device at a super-affordable price tag.

Needless to note that, China Unicom will partner with a maker from Shenzen, one of China’s largest cities and leading manufacturing hub. The company probably have much potential advantage in the near future.

The specific features are a pretty impressive, of course in the price range. The phone is announced to feature 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage (Which possibly can be expandable), a 720p display (expectantly features 5-inches) and a 64-bit CPU, not official words for which chipset. The phone is on the way to be completely finished (the final stages) and expected to debut the market before the end of this month.

It’s definitely a big positive movement in entry-level market to bring smart features. However, packing the modest  specs of 64bit, we hope that the rest of the phone will be good enough.

In conclusion: No matter which company is, it’s good to see a smartphone with 64 bit CPU  at PHP 2876 are ready to hit the shelves. However, for the time being, don’t expect such low cost phones to make it to the global markets.
