Pepsi Will Add Another Phone To China’s Saturated Market

It’s a sign of China’s hardware prowess that that not even a saturated market can deter PepsiCo from making an Android smartphone.

Before you get too excited, the U.S. beverage company will not be entering the manufacturing game for good. Currently they are just seeking out hardware partners for China-only promotional phone in line with other accessories they are releasing.

The phone will be dubbed the ‘Pepsi P1’, and will not be competing against high-end rivals in the China market specs-wise. It’s expected to retail at around 1300 RMB ($200 USD approx.) which puts it in the price category of several popular phones from Xiaomi, Meizu, Lenovo, Huawei and OnePlus, among others.
