Yes 4G Android Smartphone To Be Officially Revealed This Week

After months of playing hide-and-seek, Yes 4G’s Android-based smartphone will finally be revealed to public later this week. While we have received the official invitation to the launch event that will take place this Wednesday, information regarding the device is still closely guarded by the wireless Internet service provider.

Nevertheless, we have managed to source out couple of initial details about the device. According to our trusted sources, the new smartphone is designed by Yes themselves with the help of an established Chinese-based manufacturer. As mentioned many months ago, the device will indeed support both Yes 4G WiMAX and standard GSM network in which users are able to switch around rather easily. In addition to that, the device runs on Android 2.2 Froyo for the time being but at the same time, our source have also mentioned that Yes are already working to provide the smartphone with Android 2.3 Gingerbread update very soon.

Internally, the smartphone is powered by a single-core processor and is also equipped with unknown amount of RAM and internal storage with support for microSD card. Not to forget, it also comes with two cameras - one of them is a front-facing camera for video calls, of course - but we were told not to put any high expectations on them.

No pricing was mentioned to us but in our humble opinions, the device shouldn’t be priced at more than RM 1,000 either by itself or bundled together with any of Yes plans. Well, stay tuned for more as we will bring you the official details of the device from the launch event later this week.
