Dalla Cina arrivano voci non ufficiali secondo cui entro il 2008 potrebbe entrare in commercio il Meizu M8, copia cinese dell’iPhone.
La notizia giunge da un post sul forum di Meizu, l’M8 dovrebbe vantare misure più contenute rispetto all’iPhone, si parla di 57x105x11.5 mm, con uno schermo da 3.3″ e 720×480 pixel. Dal lato della connettività può vantare il Bluetooth, e la rete 3G cinese (ricordiamo che l’iPhone non supporta la rete 3G). Come sistema operativo invece dovrebbe utilizzare Windows Mobile. A completare il tutto troviamo una fotocamera da 3.0 megapixel, contro i 2.0 dell’iPhone.
Per quanto riguarda i prezzi ancora niente di certo: si parla di 263 $ per il modello da 4 Gb, 328 $ per il modello da 8 Gb e 460 $ per quello da 16 Gb.
Riportiamo di seguito il comunicato di presentazione in lingua inglese:
