might be a hit in our country. but i think it’s only counted as high-end because IT IS IN our country.
The 1Ghz processor phone is still in the high-end range, below than that are mid-range..
yeah, but take a look at all the 1ghz and up phones coming out all over the world right now.
introduce a 1ghz phone here in the Phil. and you’re sure to call it high-end.
Take the htc Incredible S for example. It just launched here, has 1 ghz processor, but across the globe it’s referred to as a dying breed of superphones.
there are few dual-core phones in the market today and mostly only available in the US and the entire world are still into 1Ghz Snapdragons and Ti’s SC. The dual core phones now are being called superphones and new name will emerge as we are entering the QC phones and slates….
