2016-02-29 11:28:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Telefonica and Chinese mobile operator China Unicom have announced plans to launch the  low-cost C630 smartphone from Chinese vendor Phicomm in key Telefonica markets in Latin America later this year. The deal to sell the C630 is part of the joint procurement agreement signed by Telefonica and China Unicom last year to select smartphones based on shared specifications at improved economies of scale. The C630 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210-powered, LTE-enabled handset with a 5-inch FWVGA screen and 1GB RAM that sells for the equivalent of around EUR 35 in the Indian market. In a statement, Telefonica said the phone would be available in Latin America starting from the second quarter and that the distribution deal was part of its aim to accelerate the penetration of 4G devices and services at more affordable end-consumer price points.
