In this article (4)
Shortly after launching an online shop featuring a hunk of meteorite carved into a burger shape, KFC China has partnered with Huawei to release a limited-edition smartphone.
To commemorate its 30 years in China, the new KFC smartphone phone features founder Colonel Sanders etched on its back.
KFC announced its latest “toy” via its Weibo page, saying the phone is available for K$100,000, the restaurant’s digital currency, or RMB1099 (US$162).
Installed on the phone is a KFC-branded music app that lets users create and share playlists at a KFC restaurant – like a modern-day jukebox. The Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus unit has a 5.5-inch screen, is powered by a Snapdragon 425 processor, and comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. It features a fingerprint scanner – for fingers that have had a lickin’, presumably.
Only 5000 of the devices are available.
