$159 for a 4.5 inch quad core phone that even comes with case and screen protector, not bad at all…
InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON) today announced the availability of its new verykool® Fusion SL4500 – a budget 4G LTE 4.5-inch smartphone equipped with multiple LTE bands optimized to run on every major U.S. GSM carrier.
“We are excited to be able to deliver a fast 4G LTE model with 3 LTE bands complete with a Snapdragon 1.2GHz Quad-Core processor and 8-megapixel dual-LED flash with front-facing camera at an affordable price,” said Joseph Ram, InfoSonics president and chief executive officer. “Fusion keeps InfoSonics at the forefront of providing operators, retailers and consumers with full-featured phones at great value price points. The idea behind this product is to create an offering that can help operators with the migration from 3G to LTE.

The Fusion brings the LTE experience to broader socio-economic groups and successfully delivers design, performance and value.”
