Meizu miniOne Pre-order Price Announced

The so-called "Chinese iPhone" made by a company called Meizu and called the miniOne is finally ready to ship to the stores. It’s been awaited for a while now; ever since it was revealed months ago.

A look at the specs reveals that the miniOne is a GSM phone supporting EDGE and Wi-Fi connectivity. It’s apparently equipped with an ARM11 533MHZ processor and has a 128MB DDR SDRAM and runs on Windows CE 6.0. It has a 3.2 inch TFT VGA Touchscreen with a resolution of 720x480 pixels and 16 million colors.

The miniOne also has a 3 megapixel autofocus camera and a 0.3 megapixel camera for video calling. It also supports MPEG4 and WMV formats for video, and even has a digital TV and GPS through DMB with downloadable maps. It's expected to have 16GB of internal memory. Also featured are a Line-In and a TV-Out, so the device can be easily hooked up to your TV for a big-screen experience.

The price of this seemingly all-in-one phone is a not-quite-modest Rs. 31,852 ($788). This is of course a pre-order price and the actual price will be revealed somewhere towards the end of the year. I feel the phone should be out sometime in January or early February of 2008. And if it’s available in China, it shouldn’t be too long before you find it here as well. Look out iPhone, the miniOne’s got your number!
