14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese device makers are seemingly on a roller-coaster of unleashing octa-core devices that blur the line between smartphones and tablets.
This is the case of the Carpad T69 MX, the flagship device of this unknown Chinese brand (via GSMInsider). This product has a wide 6.95-inch LTPS + OGS display with an impressive 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, so it can be thought of a mini-tablet of sorts.
Most 7-inchers coming out of China and India today sport calling capabilities, so it’s getting increasingly difficult to understand where the line between tablets and smartphones is drawn.
The T59 MAX draws power from a MediaTek MT6592 octa-core processor clocked at 1.7GHz complete with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. I also have to note the main camera’s (8MP) lens glass is made of sapphire.
On top of that, there’s USB OTG, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, dual SIM (compatible with both GSM and WCDMA networks) and a decent 4,200 mAh battery.
The device will be made available for purchase in seven different colors with a price tag of $278 / €204.
