Another MTK MT6588 / MTK6589 China Phone in Sight! HDC Galaxy S3 i9300! (w/ Specs – Specifications)

Another MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 appears to be right around the corner. I know, I know – there are but a handful mtk mt6577 / mtk6577 smartphone models available, and already there’s talk of MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 smartphones being released a month from now? As I’ve already mentioned several times, this is a “blossoming” – one could say “exploding” market.

Though many people outside of China don’t even know about these great alternative China phone options, in China it’s huge and they are getting snatched up faster than they can come out. Frustrating indeed, but considering how fast this market is coming on, let’s consider that before jumping all over MTK or the manufacturers making these phones.

So, on with it. There’s no release date yet, but some retailers already have MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 HDC Galaxy S3 i9300 in their catalogs for pre-sale! Possibly that means this phone is right around the corner. Or as has been the case with mtk mt6577 / mtk6577, we may have to hurry up and wait a bit.

I do like that Lenovo is one of the rumored companies to be producing an MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 smartphone. Lenovo is one of the first companies to actually get this new generation of multi-core MTK smartphones out there, as opposed to the pre-sale extravaganza many manufacturers have been playing around at.

A couple things that stick out regarding specs is that the MTK6588 HDC i9300 is reportedly going to be 1.4Ghz and ICS, while Lenovo’s rumored “Arkansas” is 1.2Ghz with Jelly Bean.

      Yes Kethan, I’m looking forward to it. From what I understand, it will be ICS, but we can hope things will change before the actual release. :) Cheers.

        Thanks for the 1.4Ghz reminder Kethan! I meant to put it in the stats, but it slipped my mind. I’ll add it now. Cheers.

      Thanks for that youtube link Kethan,I wouldn’t 100% trust that the phone in the video is HDC mtk6588. One screaming hint is that it’s got tape over the top, which could be covering the Samsung logo. But yes, the maker of the video, fastcardtech, is one of the retailers offering MTK6588 HDC i9300 phone for pre-sale.

            I think I get your drift Kethan…But actually we can hope for 10000 :) The SGX544 in the MTK6588 is more than 2x as powerful as the SGX531 in the MTK6577. Add to that the faster CPU clock and double the cores…

          Yes, I think the phone in the video is not a real MTK6588 HDC i9300. But, I can’t say one way or the other regarding fastcardtech’s actual business practices regarding customer service etc…
