Xtreamer enters the smartphone race

There is the rat race for us humans living in a capitalistic society, and in then in the world of tech, there is the smartphone race to concern yourself with the number of megapixels, how many cores does your processor have, in addition to 4G LTE connectivity capability. Well, Xtreamer, a company that is more famous for its media streamers, has just announced that they intend to make a mark for themselves in the world of smartphones. So far, we do know that the upcoming device from Xtreamer will run on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich (without any mention as to whether Android 4.1 Jelly Bean will be on its way), in addition to dual SIM capability that will surely appeal to those who carry around two phones and want to shed some baggage on their travels.

No idea on the battery capacity, but it was stated as carrying a “powerful” battery. ClockWorkMod based updates and multilingual ROM support, accompanied by a rooted handset by default makes this a decent entry point for budding modders. No idea on pricing, but it should not be too expensive judging by the clues left on the device page.

Xtreamer is getting into phones, teases 5inch AiKi Android handset ICS, dual SIM and 'revolutionary' pricing

While the world waits for a certain other phone that includes a 5 reference in its teaser, HTPC, media streamer and NAS builder Xtreamer has revealed its plans to get into the mobile space. A banner on its forum, a sign-up page for more info and quick teaser trailer are all we have to go on, but so far the available details gives the AiKi 5-inch specs that include dual SIM, Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, a “powerful” battery, ClockWorkMod based updates, multilingual ROM, root enabled by default and the tagline “why pay more?” Until there’s more details that’s likely to remain an open question, but given Xtreamer’s history, we suspect European users inclined to modding should at least keep an eye out, we’ll let you know when we hear more.
