Is this my best video yet? This is a same factory that is soon going to switch to assembling MediaTek MT6575 Android Ice Cream Sandwich phones. I hereby offer you an exclusive look inside the assembly line, see the people that build your speakers in Shenzhen China.
In the part 1 of this Shenzhen Factory Tour, I enter the Shenzhen Factory, walk around the lobby and meeting rooms before walking over to a part of the assembly line.
I run the Antutu and Quadrant benchmarks (comparing those with my OMAP4460 Galaxy Nexus) on this 5″ MT6575 Android phone that has just gotten the latest beta Android 4 ICS firmware loaded onto it in Shenzhen China. This prototype is just pre-mass production, and the ICS software for the MediaTek MT6575 is beta for testing. Mass production and full production software may be ready by the end of this month. Check back later for more news on this phone and on the performance of ICS on MT6575 devices as I expect to have this and other MT6575 samples to do reviews of the latest MediaTek ICS performance. http://www.yooe.com.cn is selling this phone for sub-$150 when bought in bulk. The MT6575 single-core ARM Cortex-A9 with ICS support is bringing quite good performance to the cheap new Android phones coming out of China.
They are showing some 3.5″, 5″ MediaTek MT6573 phones and tablets.
Showing some MT6573 based phones.
This is the new 5.2″ MT6575 Android smartphone design, it can soon support Android 4.0. It costs $140 when bought in bulk.
At the Canton Electronics Fair, I found perhaps the supplier or the partner of DVIP Phaeton that I filmed last CES that was showing this 2″ MT6516 based Android wrist watch.
Includes a 5″ capacitive screen, runs on MT6573, the next design next month will incvlude the MT6575 processor, it includes a compact keyboard on the side of the device.
Amoi shows an MT6575 Android phone with imminent ICS support, the price is about $130 for bulk orders. It includes 2 batteries, total capacity is 2530mAh so you can remove one battery while the other still powers the phone. The full MediaTek features are of course included, including Dual-sim card support WCDMA/GSM, in mass production by the end of this month.
This is the first time that I see ICS running smoothly on a MediaTek processor. This comany is licencing the Hyundai brand to distribute these cool looking phones, including the H950 using a 5.2″ WVGA screen running Android 4 ICS smoothly on the MediaTek MT6575 ARM Cortex-A9 processor.
