Fast food chain KFC has joined hands with Huawei to launch an aptly named new smartphone, the KFC Huawei 7 Plus. The smartphone marks KFC’s 30 years in China. Huawei, incidentally, was founded in the same year, 1987, in Shenzen. Not everyone can buy the device as of now as it is listed at CNY 1099 or roughly Rs 10,000 price tag from the Tmall website. It will go on sale starting July 13.

The limited edition KFC Huawei 7 Plus comes pre-installed with KFC’s mobile app and 100,000 “K dollars” virtual credits in the app. The smartphone also offers K-music — KFC’s new jukebox function from inside the app, as reported by CNBC. It has been revealed that a total of 5,000 units of the KFC Huawei 7 Plus will go on sale.

It has been revealed that a total of 5,000 units of the KFC Huawei 7 Plus will go on sale.

The smartphone comes in Red colour with the branding of two companies — one of Huawei and the other of Colonel Sanders — at the back.

Some of the key specifications of the smartphone are 5-inch HD screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB inbuilt storage with an option to support microSD card up to 128GB, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing camera and 3020mAh battery.

The smartphone measures 143.5x71x8.05mm and weighs 145 grams. On the connectivity front, the smartphone features Bluetooth 4.1, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 bgn, GPS and Glonass. The KFC Huawei 7 Plus runs EMUI 5.1 based on Android 7.0 Nougat. There is a fingerprint sensor at the back as well.

The device will naturally sport a higher screen to body ratio, something similar to the Galaxy S8 or the LG G6. The smartphone could have a 5.7-inch QHD display with dual curved edges and pack a 4,000mAh battery. The dual rear camera setup will be present, as it’s in the P10. Nothing is confirmed about the handset yet.

It is worth adding that Huawei has still not yet revealed its P10 and the P10 Plus flagship smartphones in India. The smartphone was introduced at MWC 2017 this year in Barcelona, Spain. While the P10 sports a 5.1-inch Full-HD resolution display with 2.5D glass coating, the P10 Plus comes with a 5.5-inch QHD resolution display. Both smartphones come with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Both Huawei P10 and P10 Plus smartphones come with Leica-branded dual-rear cameras.

The Huawei P10 is backed by a 3,200mah battery, while the P10 Plus comes with a 3,750mAh battery. Both smartphones are powered by the company’s Kirin 960 SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM.
