Hisense is largely known as a manufacturer of household appliances in China, but is certainly not a stranger in consumer electronics or the smartphone market. The manufacturer has unveiled a new lineup of affordable smartphones including the A1 with its dual rear cameras and fingerprint sensor, the rugged C20 and its robust IP67 chassis, the C1 and its AMOLED panel and 5.7 mm thickness, the L697 and its 2.5D glass touchscreen and Quick Charge 2.0, and the L676 with its dual SIM features and OGS (One Glass Solution) touchscreen. OGS uses a thinner touch panel on top of the display, so onscreen content tend to pop and appear closer to the surface.
Whether or not these smartphones will launch in Europe is not currently known. Fortunately, a few core specifications for each have been revealed as follows with a more complete sheet to come in the near future:
