ZONG launches first fair-priced Android handset in Pakistan - Priced 15,999/-

Karachi, October 13, 2010: ZONG – the fastest growing network of the country – is all set to launch the first fair priced Android handset in Pakistan. Already available Android 2.2 handsets in Pakistan have been priced for the high end segment of the consumers. 

The Android phones are no ordinary phones but have various applications built in them. The applications available in an Android Phone are unlimited, facilitating the consumers to always stay connected with social networking groups, configure multiple email accounts, get information about important places in nearby vicinity and download unlimited free application and games. 

Expressing his views Salman Wassay, Director Marketing, ZONG said, “Currently the Android handsets have been priced at a premium. With ZONG’s fair priced handsets, we aim to bring the emerging technology within the reach of a greater number of consumers in order to let them experience the state-of-the-art technology at affordable rates.”

Android is an emerging mobile technology still in the development phases which offers unlimited applications including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Google Maps, Voice Search etc. Android software uses a complex system that can run multiple applications at the same time and in the background of a phone, making multitasking easier and the functionality of the phone more dynamic than other cell phones. 

Providing state-of-the-art technology to its subscribers is the hallmark of ZONG’s philosophy. With the introduction of Android handsets in Pakistan, ZONG has once again taken lead in the telecom industry by coming up with yet another innovative product for its subscribers at an affordable price.
