Dell Enters India with a Pair of Under-Performing Android Devices
Dell’s not completely dumped Android following their commitment to Windows Phone 7, thankfully. (Not that we expected them to, but out of all of the launch partners for the OS, Dell seemed more likely to ditch Android than anyone.) They’re targeting the booming low-end market in India with a pair of new Android-based handsets. The XDC28 and the XDC35 both run Android 2.1, but the difference is in the model number: the XDC28 will be a smaller 2.8-inch handset, while the XDC35 has a – you guessed it – 3.5-inch display. (No resolutions have been mentioned for either phone.)
You’ll get 200MB of internal storage to start with, but that can be easily expanded to 16GB with the use of microSD cards. Everything else (that we know) is business as usual for a low-end smartphone. (It even appears to be running stock Android! Why that surprises me, I don’t know.) The XCD28 and the XCD35 will sell for 10,990 rupees and 16,990 rupees respectively. [via Android Community]
