Random Android News: Alcatel Bargain, Odd Phenomenally Batt-Saving Phone, More Huawei Goodness

26.1.12 The Reporter 0 Comments

Three random things again for this morning:

Awesome News! The Alcatel OneTouch Blaze Glory is now permanently priced at Php 5,990. So this proves all the tech pundits who predicted that Alcatel would keep that price, absolutely right!

Weird News: Before I go on, I'd like to say that I am deliriously happy that I live in Kalibo, where the electricity failures aren't as dismal as in Iloilo. (Take that, PECO!)

Now, jab at PECO aside, for those who live in Iloilo and other places where blackouts make you want to go and hack a power plant to death, how about keeping an AA Battery-powered phone that will stay charged for 15 YEARS on a single AA Battery?


That's right, the SpareOne Phone will be the answer to your prayers (in between curses for your local electricity company, that is) when you're stuck in blackout and bored, or worse, stranded in a flood with no power and you need to call for help.

Talk time, once you use the AA Battery-powered phone, is at 10 hours. The 15 Years charge lasts only if you leave the phone unused.

Well, you can always charge the battery that comes with it once you use it up, or just get another, disposable AA battery.

Innovative, especially in this natural calamity-prone country.

China Android Brands Fighting For A Place In The Android Sun: Huawei ups its ante once more with the Huawei Honor, a high-powered Android slated to be priced at $50 less than the Sony Experia Arc, and $100 less than the Sony Experia Arc S. With specs like these:

• 1.4GHz Snapdragon CPU/Adreno 205 GPU/Qualcomm MSM 8255T chipset
• 512MB RAM
• 4GB ROM

We doubt you'd be able to keep yourself from drooling over this. GSM Arena talks more about this unit.

That's it for another random moment here at Android Alliance Philippines!
