Archos Unveils Its Budget Oxygen 50b And 50c Portable Media Smartphones

Fitted with large 5-inch 720p displays both phones have been designed to function as portable media power houses.

 

Portable media pioneers Archos have launched two new budget smartphones, which fit into their Oxygen series of handsets. The Oxygen 50b sports an octa-core processor, while the Oxygen 50c sports a quad-core one with the rest of the internals remaining almost identical.

Both smartphones come with large 5 inch 1280 x 720 pixel IPS LCD displays, which makes it pretty clear that Archos wants to sell the device as a portable media-oriented smartphone. The Oxygen 50c is powered by a an 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek chipset while the Oxygen 50c runs a slower 1.3GHz quad-core chipset from the same manufacturer. On the outside, sits an 8MP camera on the back while a 2MP camera takes care of the front-facing imaging duties.

The rest of the 50b and the 50c hardware specifications are almost identical. Both devices come with 1GB of RAM and are fuelled by a 2,000 mAh battery which is small considering the large display dimensions and the fact that many will be watching movies on this device. Internal memory for the 50b will comes in 4GB and 8GB options while buyers of the 50c will have to settle with a standard 8GB, both of which come with a micro-SD card expansion slot.

The Oxygen duo run Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and also come loaded with the Archos media-player apps bundle.  There is no clue about pricing and availability yet, but looking at the hardware configurations, expect the devices to fall to in the budget range only.
