Gigabyte Communications to launch MediaTek-based dual-SIM Android phones in 2Q12


Gigabyte Communications has been focusing on the production of dual-SIM Android smartphones recently, and plans to roll out dual-SIM models built on chipset solutions from MediaTek in the second quarter of 2012 in addition to current models that utilize handset solutions from Qualcomm, according to the company.

The company will market its dual-SIM smartphones under its own G-Smart brand in Taiwan, Russia and Eastern Europe, but will be more flexible in cooperation with channel operators and branded vendors in markets in Southeast Asia.

Gigabyte plans to roll out six dual-SIM smartphones, built on Qualcomm's and MediaTek's platforms in 2012, with display sizes ranging between 3.5-4.3 inches. Retail prices are likely to be set below US$300 for the entry- and mid-range segments.

Having launched its G-Smart G1355 smartphone in the Taiwan market in cooperation with channel operator Senao International in March, Gigabyte also plans to market the model with Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) in April, the company noted.
