L’azienda francese Archos, sempre più famosa per i suoi tablet adatti soprattutto al gaming, è entrata anche nel campo degli smartphone.
Archos ha, infatti, presentato tre smartphone il Carbon 35, il Platinum 50 e il Platinum 53 adatti a soddisfare ogni tasca. Si parte da 100$ (al cambio 77€, ma sappiamo come in realtà il cambio venga effettuato alla pari cioè 100€) con il piccolo Carbon 35 con schermo da 3,5 pollici. Si passa poi per il Platinum 50 con schermo da 5 pollici e un prezzo di 220$ e si finisce con il Platinum 53 con schermo da 5,3 pollici e un prezzo di 250$.
I prezzi in euro dovrebbero trasformarsi in 99€, 249€ e 299€ per l’entry level, il mid range e il top di gamma rispettivamente. I tre smartphone saranno no brand, 3G, dual sim (solo una 3G) con una velocità di 7,2 Mbps HSPA, Android stock e dotati di slot per microSD, indispensabile per il Carbon 35 che ha soli 4GB di storage.
Vediamo le schede tecniche nel dettaglio.
