Always wanted a Quad Core 1080p Phone? and want something below $200 ?  well a chinese company called Neo has the answer for that . The Neo N003 has all the horsepower to join the Quad Core arms race without looking like a N00B , the N003 has a 5" 1080p IPS display  and might possibly carry a Mediatek MTK6589 processor because most other budget handsets are powered by that chipset . although specs are not official , GizChina says the price will be 899 Yuan ($144) which currently makes the N003 the cheapest 1080p smartphone ( rival devices such as the iOcean X7 . cost $16 ($160 for the iOcean vs $144 for the N003) more but in a world where a few dollars make a differece , the N003 might have a slight edge , Both the iOcean and the N003 are probably China-Only phones so don't  have big hopes for the device(s) ever reaching Europe or North America .Specs are not given in detailed but i'll be sure to update the blog once the data flows in  .  Source -  Giz...
