I think that it took time to process that Pepsi is going to develop an Android smartphone. There were rumours nearly a month back that the food and beverage company may introduce a new smartphone, and finally the Pepsi phone has been launched.
Having two variants, P1 and P1s, the phone will available in China initially.
The one interesting activity surrounding the phone is crowd funding. The smartphone is actually listed on crowdfunding platform JD Finance so that Pepsi is able to sell the phone in the Chinese market.
Yes, you read it right. The smartphone is available only in limited quantities to the customers. Pepsi is not getting into the smartphone business either, they are simply licensing the brand to a Chinese company Shenzhen Scooby Communication Equipment Co, the ones that are actually manufacturing the device. This means all the equipment and accessories will be manufactured by Scooby Communication and the device will be branded by Pepsi.
Running on Android Lollipop based Dido OS, Both P1 and P1s will come with a 5.5-inch full HD 2.5D curved screen display, 1.7GHz octa-core MT6592 chipset, 2GB of RAM and 16GB internal storage.
It has a 13MP primary camera with flash and a 5MP front-facing camera. On the connectivity front, it comes with 4G LTE, hybrid dual sim support similar to OnePlus X, and a 3000mAh battery. The phone also shows off a fingerprint scanner at the back.
