Viewsonic to Launch Two New Android Phones

Viewsonic is expected to launch two Android phones in India in the near future; the V350, which includes support for dual-SIM and the ViewPad4 sporting a 1GHz Qualcomm processor and a new Viewsonic UI. These phones could be officially launched as early as next week; however Viewsonic has refrained from making any public announcements just yet.

The Viewsonic V350 is slated to be an active dual-SIM phone having a 3.5” TFT capacitive touchscreen, a 600MHz Qualcomm processor, 512 MB RAM and a 5MP camera with autofocus. The only downside is that it is rumored to be running the Android Froyo OS which is quite outdated now.

These current launches seem to be an upgrade from the earlier ViewPad7 and ViewPad10 tablets, launched in December last year.

On the other hand, as reported earlier, the ViewPad4 will run the Gingerbread OS and it sports a 4.1-inch WVGA  capacitive touch screen, 1GHz Qualcomm MSM 8255 processor and a 5MP camera with the ability to record 720p video. Earlier reports suggested that it would be a tablet but it seems, Viewsonic has reworked their strategy and are launching it as a device that will offer both phone and tablet functionalities.
