   according to the websites the estimation price will be around US$250 -US$350. and damian, i‘m a little bit confused with your last article mentioned the p600 will be TCL. lower class smartphone because if you see the specs above these two had only little differences such as screen size and resolution and battery capacity.

      Hey Ari, thanks for comment and specs.

      Regarding my comparison between the P600 an Y900 in the post – If when comparing smartphones, one has lower resolution, a slower CPU, significantly smaller battery and can record video at 720p compared to 1080p, I think it’s safe to say it’s the lesser model.

      I’m not saying the P600 is a crap phone. Far from it. I’m just saying that in comparison to the Y900, it’s the lesser model. Some people may actually prefer the smaller LCD of the P600 for portability.

   4GB ROM is not enough. It should be 16GB minimum. microSD card expansion is not the same as internal memory. Some apps cannot be moved to microSD card !!!!!

   Wow! I just visit a web retailer trying to find out if there‘ any development regarding the pricetag of TCL Y900 or TCL P600. And it turn out TCL Y900 pricetag had change from no price onto USD $ 500! Ouch! Kind of pricey don‘t you think? Although I‘m still not sure if it is fix price or not.

      I think this is very steep and likely they’re just putting it up there to see who will bite. There is one shop on Aliexpress selling it for $515, but they have 12 feedbacks and 91% positive. It also says ships out within 3 days, but within the ad they have it as a pre-sale. Anyone got the dough to burn, I’d stay well way from it.

      On a price note, I would be surprised to see the Y900 sell for more than $300 US when it is being sold legitimately.
