Orange Launches Intel Powered Android Smartphone
Published on:
Today, France Telecom-Orange announced that it will launch a new Android smartphone in Europe this summer, which will be amongst the first to be powered by Intel technology.
Orange has offered phones under its own brandname for the past 10 years, and says that they currently represent around 15% of its total handset sales. The company aims to boost that to 20 percent by the end of this year.
At launch, the latest Orange smartphone will run Android's Gingerbread platform with a planned upgrade to Android's Ice Cream Sandwich platform shortly thereafter. The new Orange smartphone is based on Intel's smartphone reference design and is powered by the Intel Atomprocessor Z2460 and supports HSPA+ with the Intel XMM 6260 Platform.
The phone has a 4.03" display, slender dimensions at 123mm x 63 x 9.99, 16Gb of memory and weighs in at 117g. In addition, it also boasts a camera that can take 10 pictures in under a second with 8-megapixel quality.
The phone -- currently codenamed 'Orange Santa Clara' -- will first be available exclusively to Orange customers in the UK and France, where its commercial name will be unveiled at launch.
