The new Changwan phone could be the Che1-CL20 which recently got its network license. This phone has support for TD-LTE, LTE FDD, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, CDMA2000, CDMA 1X, and GSM networks, as well as dual-SIM cards. This phone also has a 5.5-inch 720p screen, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor (most likely one from Qualcomm since it supports CDMA), 2GB RAM, 8GB ROM, the Android 4.4, and a 5mp/13mp dual-camera.
