When one thinks of Germany as a country, we more often than not have images of high powered performance cars, Oktoberfest, and steely determination among the people – but smartphones? Isn’t that the domain of other countries? Apparently not, as what you can see from the Linshof i8 that is shown above. The Linshof i8 happens to be a custom phone that sports its very own unconventional design and proprietary user interface.
In fact, the Linshof i8 comes with a 5-inch 1080p display, where right now the company is looking into the possibility of using either Super AMOLED or IPS technology in the final iteration. Apart from that, it will boast of a whopping 80GB of internal memory, where there is a standard issue 64GB chip that will be accompanied by a 16GB model, where both of them hail from SanDisk. Apart from that, it will run on a 32-bit octa-core 2.1GHz processor that is accompanied by 3GB RAM. The final specifications could still change between now and its release, which has been slated for a Q1 2015 roll out.
Other hardware specifications include a 13MP camera at the back with a 28mm wide-angle lens, F1.8 aperture value, and a Sony CMOS sensor. The selfie camera happens to deliver 8MP of visual goodness, and all of it will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop alongside Linshof’s custom “hardware-accelerated” UI. Any takers?
