SAN DIEGO, Feb. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoSonics
Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON) has unveiled the latest addition to the
verykool® product lineup – the s6001 Cyprus, an all-purpose 6-inch phablet.
The Cyprus features a stunning
6-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with full lamination,
13-megapixel auto-focus rear camera and 3-megapixel front camera
housed in a sleek and contemporary, ultra-thin 8mm metal frame
available in gold and silver. Powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core
processor, the Cyprus runs on
Android 4.4 (KitKat) and is equipped with 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM and a
micro SD slot for optional storage expansion up to 32GB.
"Over the last couple of quarters we have identified a trend in
which consumers have been asking for phones with larger screens –
they want the convenience of a smartphone with the viewing
experience of a tablet," said Joseph
Ram, InfoSonics president and chief executive officer. "So
we've answered their call with the Cyprus, which offers the best of both worlds
in a powerful, yet elegant device."
The big, 6-inch phablet provides the performance and speed
needed to run everything from complex mobile apps to streaming
videos. In addition, the screen provides a 69.9 percent
screen-to-body ratio, which is superior to the 65.8 percent ratio
