The great thing about the pace Chinese phone technology moves along is how fast prices fall to even more affordable levels. For an example of this take a look at the Pomp W99!
What Pomp have managed to do with the Pomp W99 is take all the most desirable features of current Chinese smartphones and offer them all in a stylish package at an affordable price.
A quick look over the specifications show that the majority of boxes have been checked with the W99, it features a 5-inch HD display, 1.5Ghz MT6589T quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB memory, dual-sim support and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

The Pomp W99 normally costs just $259 which is as low as it get’s for a quad-core phone with 2GB RAM, and 5-inch display, but for GizChina readers there is an additional discount of $20 bring the price down to just $239!
GizChina readers can use this discount code: GIZ20 to receive the $20 discount from the Pompmobilestore.
They probably had some issues with the translation, but I agree, it doesn’t make sense.
The other problem with that phone is that the photos seem to be manipulated, enlarged in paint or something without keeping proportions, some are looking good (like the four squares in the article) but some are hideous (like the title graphics).
Also the screen is not Full HD, only 720p…
I just realised that it said that lol. Hilarious.
On that note, if they can’t get their tag line right, I don’t know if I trust them to get the phone right.
I am sorry to hear that the words Contracted and not simple makes you unfitable. how about add a case that cover the words you don,t like..maybe it looks more beautiful.
I actually think its kind of funny and whimsical. It’s kind of like an internet meme. How can someone not laugh when they look at the back of the phone? It makes no sense so much that’s its hilarious. I like it.
It also kind of makes you think “They must be running a really lean company over there to pass the savings onto the consumers. They don’t even waste money on western consultants or translators”
I’m probably gonna buy it and check it out, POMP stuff looks pretty legit. The price is a little high still tho, you can get the VOVO X2 for around $230.
On the POMP store, its not really clear what the shipping cost is gonna be, that’s cutting their sales. And I think this would move better at a nice even $249.99. If I could find a way to get this in my store on the shelf at 249.99, these would fly off.
