Business: We have few details on this Android phone, but after the North Korean tablet, it is a new device supported by the system … not release the communications of the country.
official news agency North Korea, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), linked to the government of Kim Jong-un, revealed in a report the existence of a first smartphone manufactured in the country. She followed the communist leader, Kim Jung-un, visiting the factory.
No detail has really filtered through the unit. If you know that this is a smartphone running on Android, the Arirang AS1201 is one of well-kept secrets by the plant May 11 Factory Pyongyang, according to North Korea Tech website.
Images propaganda
Kim Jong-un had visited the factory, two years and two months ago, in the presence of his father, Kim Jong-il. At the time, he toured with a string of flat LCD screens production. Since then, however, there are still doubts about the reality of that manufactures technology products.
only images presented by the official news agency show workers in the presence of finished electronic products. No details of the production, which may suggest that it is only propaganda reports. In which case the “North Korean smartphone” is not really happening in the country, and would only show an image of modernity.
North Korea Tech considers that the devices are probably ordered directly from Chinese suppliers, and delivered to the plant May 11 Factory, where they are inspected before they are sold.
It would not be surprising, the precedent set by the famous “North Korean tablet” actually produced in China have cast suspicion on such advertisements. This does not affect the reality of the smartphone and its distribution to come to North Korea, even though the country is not the place of manufacture. It will probably be marketed via Koryolink, managed by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Egyptian operator Orascom joint venture.
“Many pixels”specifications, we just know that the supreme leader has enjoyed the performance, and was pleased, according to KCNA, that “mobile devices are convenient for their users because their camera sensor has’ a lot pixel “.” Few pictures of the visit were also shown on the video.
However, the support of Kim Jong-un to the development of a mobile telephone network seems proven. Previous meeting his father Naguib Sawiris, chairman of Orascom Telecom operator, was widely reported in the official media. The Daily NK, “Kim has supported the idea of ??a production of mobile phones as a patriotic activity.”
This will give probably not involved locking telecommunications, while access to the Internet over 3G is very complicated in the country, even for foreign visitors, and citizens of the country can not obviously not make calls internationally.
Key figures: sales of mobile and smartphones
