Spanish startup offers stylish, octa-core Android Lollipop Weimei We smartphone for 189 euro

Weimei, a new startup headquartered in Spain, is setting out to change the notion of how you buy smartphones. If you want to live on a better budget than you have up until now, Weimei says it has the phone for you. The company is offering a octa-core smartphone running Android 5.1 Lollipop for a low price. The smartphone is called the Weimei We.

The Weimei We features a 5-inch, IPS LCD screen with an HD resolution of 1280 x 720p (320ppi) with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 to protect the display from drops and element impact. Weimei says that its in-cell display and JDI PixelEyes provide a sharp, vibrant viewing experience. The Weimei We has an octa-core, MediaTek MT6753 processor with ARM’s Cortex A53 64-bit architecture, 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and 16GB of storage with a microSD card slot that can be expanded up to 64GB. The Weimei We has a 5MP Omnivision front camera with an f/2.0 camera aperture and front flash, and 13MP Sony IMX214 back camera with an f/2.0 camera aperture and dual flash. The We’s back camera provides 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second.

The Weimei We is dual-SIM, has 2 microphones (one is noise-cancelling), and contains your typical 3.5mm headphone jack along with FM radio, professional bass speakers, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS with a 2,600mAh battery that should last a day, Weimei says, though it points to the “intelligent power management system in Android Lollipop” to secure one-day battery life. To top it all off, Google’s current sweet treat of stock Android 5.1 Lollipop (no skinned UI) is aboard, and all of this adds up to the low, low price of 189.90 euro.
