Coolpad, a Chinese smartphone maker, announced today Dashen (literally means “the great god” in Chinese), a smartphone brand run by the company, will be operated independently. At the press conference, the company released five hardware products under the brand, including the much-anticipated Dashen F2, Dashen F1 (China Telecom version), Dashen F1 (Youth version), a mobile charger and a 3D AR helmet. Powered by an octa-core MT6592 processor clocked at 1.7GHz, Dashen F2 features Mali-450MP4 GPU (700MHz), 1280×720 resolutions and 5.5-inch screen. As competition in Chinese smartphone industry went nuclear, major players in the battlefield, like Xiaomi, Huawei, Lenovo are vying to offer low-budget smartphones with increasingly rich features. As smart wearable becomes a hot spot in China, Coolpad released last year CWatch, a smartwatch designed by a startup incubated by the Media Lab of Hunan University.
