ONDA VX878 – iPhone Nano Earlier Than Expected

What do you get if you take the already cheaper ONDA VX858LE and reduce the price further by 100 CNY?

Easy. You get the newly announced ONDA Honey VX878. For only 399 CNY (that’s under $55 USD), you get a dwarfed down version of the VX858, featuring all the same features and specifications with three main differences; the screen, battery and GUI. The screen is now 2.4″ with 260k colors, down from 2.8″ with 1.6 million colors and although the new battery is 650mAh, down from 100mAh, it can still manage a solid 15 hours of audio playback. Finally, the GUI has been improved, and we have to say, it now looks really good.

To recap, ONDA VX878 will be a small iPhone lookalike MP3 player with a 2.4″ 260k color touchscreen supporting media formats AVI, MP3, WAV, WMA, FLAC, APE, TXT, LRC, JPG, BMP a FM tuner, voice recording and games. It has a built in speaker and will support microSD/Transflash memory cards of up to 4GB.

ONDA VX878 is set to hit Chinese streets early next month.
