The front of the F501 has a nice alloy facia which carries the speaker and subtle branding around the large 5-inch display.
The rear is more rounded than the angular front and reminds us of some of the Huawei phones we have seen over the past few months. The whole phone measures in at just 8.5mm, and as you can see it appears very thin in the photos.
The hardware is pure MTK flagship material as the F501 boasts a quad-core MT6589 chip, 3 mega-pixel front camera, 13MP rear, 1080HD video capture, OGS HD screen, Android 4.1 OS and optional NFC.
No word on pricing, but the release date in France and other European countries is penned in for September.
