Bluebo Update phones with quad-core MT6589 CPU and Android 4.2

Last year Bluebo were right up there with JiaYu and UMi as one of the phone companies to watch. They've been very quiet for 2013 though, but this recent quad-core update could be a sign of things to come.

The phone here is physically the same as last year's dual-core MT6577 Bluebo phone and has the same 5-inch 1280 x720 display, however the specs have seen an overhaul.

The major update is the inclusion of a quad-core MT6589 CPU and 1GB RAM, which should see the phone improve both perforce and efficiency, Bluebo have also boosted the rear camera to a 12 mega-pixel sensor and updated Android to 4.2 Jelly Bean.

3 version of the Bluebo will be available with internal memory ranging from 4GB to 16GB and prices starting at 1299 Yuan ($208) rising to 1399 Yuan ($225) for the 16GB model.
