Headlining the 3 new handsets is the new Archos 50 Platinum, which brings a 5.0-inch, 960 x 540, 220-ppi display, a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB RAM and 4GB storage. It’s has 8-megapixel camera, dual-SIM capabilities and its running an unskinned version of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.

Then there is the larger 5.3-inch iteration, the Archos 53 platinum, which brings a larger 2800mAh battery, but other than that, specs remain the same.

Finally there is the Archos 35 Carbon, a low-end, 3.5-inch handset with Android Ice Cream Sandwich, VGA cameras and 512MB of RAM.

The trio will be available by the end of May and will be unlocked. Pricing for the flagship Archos 50 Platinum will be £179.99, the Archos 53 Platinum will be just £199.99 and the 35 Carbon is the lowest priced at £79.99.

Just re read those prices. That is so cheap, I just wonder what quality vs cost compromises have been undertaken.
