Yes, that Pepsi.

• 1.7 GHz Octa-core MediaTek MT6592 processor with Mali 450-MP4 GPU
• 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, microSD expansion slot
• Hybrid Dual SIM (second nano SIM slot can also be used as microSD slot)
• dido OS 6.1 based on Android 5.1 (Lollipop)
• 13MP rear camera with LED Flash
• 5MP front-facing camera

• Dimensions: 152.2 ×76.2×7.7 mm; Weight: 158g
• 4G LTE / 3G, WiFi 802.1 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS
• 3000mAh battery

It has 4G LTE connectivity and dual SIM support that lets you use the second nano SIM slot as a microSD slot when required. Pepsi is just licensing its branding, and Shenzhen Scooby Communication Equipment Co., Ltd will manufacture the phone. The standard version of the phone is called P1 and the China Unicom version with FDD-LTE support is called P1s.

The Pepsi Phone P1s comes in Blue, Gold and Silver colors and is available for order through crowdfunding campaign on jd.com in China. Early bird offer of 499 yuan (Rs. 5170 / US$ 78 approx.) is sold out, but you can still order one at 699 yuan (Rs. 7250 / US$ 110 approx.), which is limited to 1000 orders. If this sells out, there will be another 1000 units up for grabs at 999 yuan, after that it will be available at 1299 yuan till the funding ends. It also comes with a protective cover, USB cable and a charger, and you can also choose the color of the phone when ordering. The company aims to reach the goal of 3,000,000 Yuan (US$ 46,9950 approx.) by December 3rd.

So it's a Chinese phone, but if it's anything like most Chinese phones, it'll work in NA anyways on most providers... So importing one on the cheap isn't impossible.

I may actually buy one of these for a backup for my Z3 if it gets a stock 6.0 custom ROM, rather than the Chinese skin on top of 5.1. Also, a black or white back would look nicer than the Gold. Maybe the blue will look nicer?

Announce a Coke phone if this news is old. The leak was posted here before, but Pepsi denied it and it's been well over a month since that thread.

How many Pepsi Points does it cost?

About 3 fighter jets

 

[deltatheta]

This reminds me of the early 80s when a bunch of weird companies were making PCs and video game consoles.

I'm sure it will do just as well as the Facebook and Amazon phones.

 

[Ray Wonder]

That's actually pretty cool I'd buy one just to say I have a pepsi phone

[a secret-boss]

I thought they denied this.

 

[jax]

RIP Apple Steve Jobs would have never let this happen

 

[dehydratedbabies]

Will wait for the Dr. Pepper phone.

 

[massoluk]

This is the first time I have heard of dido OS. Do they realize it's one alphabet away from disaster?

 

[so1337]

Meh, Coca Cola has the better OS.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

..

 

[dehydratedbabies]

If mean, if Taco Bell had a phone, why not Pepsi?

 

[JustenP88]

What

Why

Why do I want this

 

[mullet2000]

If this was out in NA I'd probably get it.

Having a Pepsi phone just seems hilarious to me.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

...

 

[Sophia]

Will only consider buying if it comes pre-loaded with Pepsiman the game. :|

 

[FunBoy]

And its the choice of a new generation...

 

[Quonny]

That phone screams murica.

Must have it.

 

[idlewild_]

whoa, haven't paid attention to the exchange rate recently, is it really up to ~rs 66/$1?!

 

[UFO]

Its called the piss.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Chinese phones are great man at this point you'd be crazy to go with Samsung and the like.

So cheap, quality control is the only worry but I can imagine that Pepsi cares about its brand more than others.

 

[JDSN]

Ill wait for the superior coke one.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I sorta want this just for the novelty of telling people I have a Pepsi phone. And then I have to explain I got it because they didn't have a Coke phone.

 

[pauljeremiah]

John Sculley's revenge?

 

[Crazyorloco]

dido OS 6.1? anyone use this

 

[Furyous]

NO, solely off the inclusion of a mediatek SOC, and 16 GB of storage with a 1080p display. This is not worth the value over the long-term given Mediatek's relationship with developers.

 

[Gonzalez]

I hear it's got very smooth interface, compared to Coke's clunky, and outdated tech.

 

[Red]

That's actually pretty impressive for $110.

Oh shit, it actually starts at less than $80? Is this for real?

 

[True Savior]

A new Pepsi Challenge arrives.

 

[Guevara]

More like the P-nes

 

[P44]

Are they taking the P1s?

 

[Ray Wonder]

More like the P-nes

hahaha fuck yeah

 

[Walshicus]

I suppose the "Wii" showed us that naming your product after urine had no impact on sales...

 

[Elitist1945]

Kinda looks like an Oppo phone? Or maybe I'm thinking of Huawei. Either way it looks familiar.

 

[Aureon]

How do i buy one of these for 110$?
Can i flash stock android on it?
... Seriously, 110$?

 

[jax]

So will the Diet Pepsi phone run WP 8.1?

 

[Ray Wonder]

I actually really like the back of it

 

[Arkeband]

That phone looks spicy, like a hot lady.

 

[kmax]

Do I get to drink for free tho

 

[Calvero]

Waht
It looks pretty

 

[Tansut]

I'll wait for the RC Tracfone, thanks very much.

 

[D23]

LOL im seriously considering buying this since its that cheap.

 

[perfectchaos007]

About 3 fighter jets

Lol I get that reference. Pepsi lost that lawsuit if I remember correctly

 

[PdotMichael]

The Crystal Pepsi of our time.

 

[Amalthea]

So is it spelled "Pee once"? That would be a lot less than from drinking Pepsi.

 

[JackBauer24]

Is this April 1st?

 

[Extra Sauce]

Same price as a Back to the Future bottle on eBay.

 

[MUnited83]

Is there a link for the crowdfunding? And can it be bought internationally? Thats a real nice phone for 110$.

Chinese phones are cheap.

For flashing stock Android, you're gonna have to wait and see what the folks over at XDA do with it.

Also, one thing that's neat: The phone's unibody is entirely made of aluminum.
