Tianyu launches K-Touch Treasure V8 Tegra 3, Android 4.0 smartphone for China

The floor at MWC might have been stolen and dominated by some of the big boys, such as HTC, LG, ZTE and even Fujitsu (although merely a concept/prototype at this point) with their quad-core powered devices, and while maybe not as popular or as well known, Chinese maker Tianyu has a quad-core device of their own dubbed the K-Touch Treasure V8.

If the brand sounds familiar, it’s because the company had previously launched a smartphone using NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 dual-core processor, and now they’re back with NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 quad-core processor on board. The exact specifications of the device are a little murky at this point, but what we do know is that it will be run on a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, sport a 4.3” display and will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

While not confirmed, it is also believed that the K-Touch Treasure V8 will feature an 8MP rear-facing camera as well, and allegedly supports 3G connectivity under China Unicom’s WCDMA network. Needless to say we doubt we will be seeing the availability of this device outside of China.
