  • Looking for a bulky MID/handset to remind you of the days of the good old Dynatac? Have a look a BYD’s Mars MID, that packs an Intel Atom processor, Windows XP and a QWERTY keyboard.

    You’ll be surprised (or not) to find out that the device also incorporates a phone, since its back side features a phone keypad and a secondary screen. Imagine holding that thing close to your ear… heavy, right?

    We don’t have any info regarding its launch date or specs, but this concept is getting tested during IDF Beijing, so we might as well watch it in action, in the video below:
