Party like it's 1977! Commodore PET phone

[mmntech]

Yep, the resurrected Commodore Business Machines is releasing a phone, because why the heck not.

Specs

Display: 5,5” IPS full HD
CPU: MediaTek octa-core a 1,7 GHz
RAM: 3 GB
Storage: 32 GB expandable (with microSD 64 GB)
Rear Camera: 13 megapixel
Front Camera: 8 megapixel
Network: LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, radio FM, dual SIM
Battery: 3.000 mAh
OS: Android 5.0 Lollipop

I'm assuming the CPU is the MediaTek MT6752, with is Cortex-A53 based and comes with the Mali-T760 MP2 GPU.

It's selling point is it comes pre-loaded with emulators for classic Commodore computers. Will supposedly cost 300 Euros at launch. Doesn't sound like it's coming to North America, likely due to trademark issues.

I kinda like those specs. Big battery.

An Italian in London stole the Canadian Commodore name to sell a Chinese made phone?

It will never see an update with that MediaTek chip.
