The G1305, more curiously known as the Codfish is all set to hit the market very soon. The model is packed with features like 5 megapixel camera, 3.2” touchscreen and Android 1.6. However the pricing is still not available.
The other rumored GSmart handset of Gigabyte seems like it will be a little brother with features like 2.8” QVGA display, a 2 megapixel camera, and no 3G. it is also expected that the model will be under the supposed 200 WUR price point and that being said, the Codfish can be expected to be a bit costlier.
If both the sets are launched in tandem then the G1305 can be seen as soon as the end of the month.
