On 17th March 2016, Creo announced the Mark 1 smartphone running their own custom Android OS. The company claimed that based on community requests their OS with get a new feature update every month (“A New Phone, every month”), a tall claim but something that can be very refreshing for the consumer.
Creo has confirmed that they will be launching the Mark 1 on 13th April.
The phone has already been shown in a teaser video. In the video it looks quite good and possibly comes with a metal and glass finish, although their in no official confirmation on that. But we have been able to dig some specs from GFXBench which say that the Creo Mark 1 comes with:
- 4.6-inch QHD screen
- MediaTek Helio X10 (MT6795) SoC
- PowerVR G6200 GPU
- Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop)
- 3GB of RAM, 32GB of Internal Storage
- 21-megapixel Rear Camera & 8-megapixel Front-facing Camera
- 4G LTE, Dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS
- 3000 mAh Battery
Now, as we all know benchmarks can be easily manipulated, so take these specs with a proverbial grain of salt.
There is also a promotion going on, in which the phone is shown with engraving on the sides. You can also check out #EngraveMyPhone on the official website. We will know all about the phone on the 13th. Stay tuned for the pricing and availability of the Creo Mark 1.
