Marshall unveils the first rock 'n' roll Android smartphone dubbed 'London'

A new Android smartphone will soon hit the market and for reasons unknown, this device will be brought to you by Marshall Headphones. Going by the simple name, London, the smartphone comes equipped with some standard specifications and nothing over-the-top. The company emphasises that the smartphone has specially been designed for music.  The London has been priced at 4,995 Swedish krona (Rs 37,400) for an expected delivery of August 21.

Towards the left, users will find a gold-accented scroll wheel to control the volume. The device includes a  special Wolfson WM8281 Audio Hub, which uses high-quality audio processing and the company claims that it will allow a user to ‘play at a higher resolution’. With the smartphone, Marshall adds in a pair of Marshall Mode in-ear headphones as well.
