Dual-SIM Android cell phone designed by General Mobile
Posted by: Maria Mihale in News
The rumors about an Android cell phone designed by General Mobile first appeared at the beginning of this year, back in late January, early February, when I was telling you about their plans to bring in the spotlight a new device compatible with the Google platform. Back then, the company was very anxious about the release of the DSTL1 Imaginary, a device that was presented as the world’s first dual SIM cell phone, based on the Android operating system.

We haven’t heard anything about it until now and we’re happy to see that the guys over Google Mobile don’t have in mind a failure. This means they will move forward, to the next level, so they announced their intention to launch the phone sometime in the near future, in June, to be more precise.
Rumors coming from the Android Authority say that the first countries to enjoy the DSTL1 are the United States and Turkey, being followed by Germany and Russia.

The features it is equipped with include: 900/1800/1900 MHz connectivity, a 3 inch TFT resistive touch sensitive display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels (the display was made by SHARP), a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash (this one has the Sony touch on it), Android 1.5 Cupcake, Bluetooth 2.0 with both EDR and A2DP, music player, video player, a Marvell PXA 310 CPU at 624 MHz and a microSDHC card of 4GB included in the package.
The phone measures 112 x 54 x 16 millimeters and weighs 135 grams, while the battery provides up to 240 minutes of talk hours and up to 150 hours of stand-by time.
As for the price, we’ve heard that it will range between $550 and $750.
