Pepsi Phone P1s is official: fizzy Android with a Twist

Remember the Pepsi Phone? Yep, it exists and is now
in a crowdfunding campaign with Pepsi branding on
it, believe it or not. While branding itself doesn't
make a phone unique, the specs-to-price ratio is
pretty svelte, too.






The Pepsi Phone P1s will come with a 5.5" 1080p 2.5D
screen, an octa-core 1.7GHz MediaTek MT6592
chipset, 2GB of RAM, 16 GB internal storage, which
can be expanded using a microSD card, a 13 MP rear
camera, 5 MP selfie taker, a 3,000 mAh battery, as
well as a finger scanner at the rear. Given that the
P1s campaign is in China, you can bet that the device
sports dual SIM card slots, too. The Pepsi Phone is to
run Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, with an
overlay called dido OS 6.1 sprinkled on top of it.

While all of this may sound like the typical boilerplate
Chinese midranger these days, the Pepsi logo on the
back, and the matching wallpaper certainly give the
phone a... Twist. Furthermore, while the early
backers' $94 pricing with an exclusive blue version
has been already sold out, the Pepsi Phone P1s can
be had for the equivalent of $110 now, with a release
date pegged for December 3rd.
