Ahead of MWC next week, ARCHOS announced four new devices that they will have on display, three phones and one tablet. There is the 80 Helium 4G (the tablet), the 50c Oxygen, 64 Xenon, and the 40b Titanium. Without being too prejudice, this is ARCHOS we are talking about, so you can expect the price to be low and specs to fit inside a budget.
All three of the phones come running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, but where they differ is in the displays and processors. The flagship of the three is the 50c Oxygen – it features a 5″ 1280 x 720 display, a Mediatek Octa-Core processor clocked at 1.7GHz (based on Cortex A7 architecture), 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, an 8MP rear-facing camera, and HSPA+ connectivity.
The bottom rung of the three new phones is the 40b Titanium. It features a 4″ 800 x 400 IPS display, a dual-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, a microSD slot, 5MP rear-facing camera, and comes running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
As for the tablet, the 80 Helium 4G, it comes with a Qualcomm quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8″ 1024 x 768 IPS display, 5MP rear-facing camera, 4G LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0, runs a 3,500mAh battery, comes running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, and costs just $249.
With that said, the prices are suitable for these handsets. The top tier 50c Oxygen will run you just $199, while the 40b Titanium is only $119. That’s not bad, right?
