According to Chinese site 163.com, and reported in English by TechCrunch, Dell is set to launch a China-only mobile phone soon, using the Android platform, and dubbed the mini3i.
The device will be distributed through China Mobile, and should launch later this week.
The mini31, known as an Ophone, is expected to be one of a few similar devices, coming from HTC, Lenovo and Dell and each using Android operating systems.
Ophones use TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), China's 3G equivalent, meaning importing the phones to the EU or US will not be worth it if you need data.
