After a render this morning whet out appetite, Colawe have sent us over the first real photo of their upcoming Rio smartphone.
Up until earlier this evening the only images we had seen of the Rio were one giving a blurred look at the side of the phone followed by a couple of renders, but it hasn’t taken long before a full frontal has been offered to us.
The phone in the image meets our expectations of the $129.99 Rio with no worrying deviations from the design (such as huge black borders) that we have seen from other brands in the past.
Gizchina News of the week
In the image we get a first look at the 5.5-inch AMOLED display, home button/fingerprint scanner, plus a glimpse of the packaging the phone will ship it.
Previously we have been told that the Rio will come with a 3000mAh battery and a CNC alloy chassis with pre-sales of the new device hitting online resellers on the 10th September.
We’ve been promised more details and photos in the run up to the phones release so watch this space.
Colawe – What a terrible name for a company, not surprised they wanted it kept secret 🙂
looks pretty nice. looking for a replacement for wifes zte zmax 2. don’t suppose there’s much chance of getting LTE in the US?
looks normal
After reading this, I thought I missed a previous post where the BRAND name was mentioned. Actually seems like it wasn’t mentioned; a search for Colawe only found this.
They could have named it Colander, or Colabrodo as it sounds more legit.
Inspired by… Zuk Z1
Nice.i anticipate a new rival for these guys named: Pepsiwe.
Zuk Z2 Rio would be nice.
Rio sounds stupid !
Looks uninspired, but the LeTV 1 also looked a bit dull.
Remains to be seen if the`ll put some decent components in there.
Wondering what will be the surprise here…. seems dull… and feels that will have average specs… unless they release IP 67 and LTE band 2,4,8,20 and 28
Well it’s 12th, not launched yet?
