The first cellphone to use the YunOS 3.0, the Philips Aurora I966, was launched along with the OS. This device has the kind of specifications that you would see in a flagship device. Right now, those interested can pre-order the phone in YunOS’ official website even though they have not yet announced the price. The Philips Aurora I966 has a 5.5-inch curved 2K 3d screen, 3G RAM, a 20.7mp camera, and fingerprint sensor.

You can also pre-order the phone at the Yun Mobile specialty store. Here, the promotional price for the Philips Aurora I966 is 3999 RMB (652.92 USD). This is not too bad but if you look at the pre-order page, it says that the market price is close to 8999 RMB making it one of China’s most expensive cellphones.

Hopefully, there’s a more affordable price as it is set to go on sale on November 1.

It was recently reported that the first cellphone to use the new YunOS 3.0 OS will use a curved 3D display. Many cellphones in China use curved 2.5D screens, but this is the first Chinese phone to use a 3D one. It will also have a fingerprint scanner that is compatible with the YunOS 3.0’s security features. It will also have support for payment by fingerprint recognition, as well as 5 modes and 13 bands. It will also use a more powerful charger.

What could this phone be? It is none other than the Philips Aurora I966. This phone also sports a 5.5-inch 2K screen and a 20.7mp main camera. It also has 3GB RAM, and its processor is said to be either the MTK6595 or the Snapdragon 801.

The Philips I966 will make its debut at the YunOS 3.0’s launch and will go on sale on October 21.
