InfoSonics Goes Big with the Introduction of a 6-Inch Phablet: the verykool® s6001 Cyprus
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON) has unveiled the latest addition to the verykool® product lineup - the s6001 Cyprus, an all-purpose 6-inch phablet.
The Cyprus features a stunning 6-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with full lamination, 13-megapixel auto-focus rear camera and 3-megapixel front camera housed in a sleek and contemporary, ultra-thin 8mm metal frame available in gold and silver. Powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, the Cyprus runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat) and is equipped with 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM and a micro SD slot for optional storage expansion up to 32GB.
"Over the last couple of quarters we have identified a trend in which consumers have been asking for phones with larger screens - they want the convenience of a smartphone with the viewing experience of a tablet," said Joseph Ram, InfoSonics president and chief executive officer. "So we've answered their call with the Cyprus, which offers the best of both worlds in a powerful, yet elegant device."
The big, 6-inch phablet provides the performance and speed needed to run everything from complex mobile apps to streaming videos. In addition, the screen provides a 69.9 percent screen-to-body ratio, which is superior to the 65.8 percent ratio of other leading manufactured devices.
