The company that presents it is one hundred percent Spanish. And its launch is scheduled for the beginning of next March through the European chain of consumer electronics MediaMarkt. It is the first smartphone from the bq company, a company that is already on the market with different models of touch tablets and different electronic book readers, and whose model it has baptized under the name of bq Aquaris.
This is the first foray of the Spanish company in the world of smart phones. And as with its wide range of touch tablets, this bq Aquaris will be based on Google's Android in its Jelly Bean version or Android 4.1. Meanwhile, one of the characteristics that will attract the most attention to the user is the possibility of using two telephone numbers from the terminal; that is to say: it is a dual SIM smartphone.
Also, as regards its screen, it will reach a screen size of 4.5 inches diagonally with a maximum resolution of 960 x 540 pixels, a characteristic that can rarely be seen on a computer in the same price range. in which this bq Aquaris moves.
On the other hand, its power will be given by a dual-core processor with a working frequency of one GigaHercio. In addition, so that the operation of the operating system is fluid, the terminal will be accompanied by a RAM memory of one GigaByte. Of course, in terms of storage capacity, the bq Aquaris will have four GigaBytes and a slot to insert cards in MicroSD format of up to 32 GB more.
Now, if what the client is looking for is the multimedia part of the equipment, he should know that the bet of the Spanish company is a sensor with eight megapixels of resolution accompanied by an LED type Flash "" for the moment it has not been discovered what will the video recording quality be "".
Perhaps, in the section in which this model is the smallest is the battery that will have a capacity of 1600 milliamps which, compared to other models on the market, may be somewhat fair. However, the connection part of the bq Aquaris is completely covered: it is compatible with next-generation 3G networks, it will be able to connect to WiFi points, as well as connect to accessories or transfer files to other devices via Bluetooth technology. Nor should we forget the possibility of using conventional headphones with their standard 3.5 mm audio output or their MicroUSB port to synchronize with a computer or charge its battery.
Now, where it can be a winning horse is in its sale price in free format. As they reported from forums HTCMania , the terminal cost 180 euros and will hit stores the first days of March. It is expected both in MediaMarkt stores and the possibility of getting it through the manufacturer's online store, where it can be seen that its latest launch referred to a seven-inch tablet, baptized with the name of Elcano with the possibility of being used by phone mode. Even so, the company itself has not yet released an official statement, but it has not denied the leaked information either.
