Exclusive: Pre-launch photos of the Ulefone Paris

Today we have received the first real photos of the Ulefone Paris ahead of the official launch next week.

After the release of their 5.5-inch flagship Be Touch and Be Touch 2 phones, Ulefone have decided to concentrate on a smaller 5-inch model for their next device. 5-inch mobiles are becoming increasingly rare these days despite a large portion of the smartphone community still wanting a more compact device.

The 5-inch Ulefone Paris adopts a 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protective glass front panel with clear plastic back plate to give a glossy finish. The main structure of the phone is a magnesium alloy chassis giving the Paris a thickness of just 8mm and overall weight of only 128g.

Ulefone say the Paris will ship with Android 5.1 installed as standard and that we will see Ulefone’s custom U-Launcher in action for the first time.

Hardware specifications include the aforementioned 5-inch HD display, 64bit MT6753 processor, 13 mega-pixel rear camera, 5 mega-pixel front, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory and 2250mAh battery. Pricing is unknown at this time but more details can be found on the official Ulefone Paris specification page here.
