Philips just announced a new Android phone, their second for the year. Called the Philips V808, it's headed right to the Chinese market, most likely to the country's largest mobile carrier (China Mobile).
The phone has appeared unofficially several times before, mistaken as running a whole different OS. Well, it's now official. The V808 will be rocking Android 1.6 Donut, with a decent hardware set that's a bit on the low end for modern smartphones.
Destined for the Chinese audience, the device only supports GSM 900/1800 MHz, along with GPRS and EDGE. Yep, no 3G. It features a 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen (with 480 x 320 resolution), a 3.2 megapixel camera module, 30 MB internal storage (with microSD support up to 8GB), a USB port, onboard GPS and Bluetooth.
Like most Android phones, it will come with a variety of apps, including a document viewer and a media player. It supports a decent range of formats, for both audio (AMR, Midi, MP3, SP-Midi, WAV, WMA) and video (MPEG4, 3GP, H.263). Given the specs, this phone will likely compete at the bottom range of entry-level Android smartphones.
No price or release date have been given, nor word of any plans to bring the Philips V808 outside of China.
