Torque has just announced this afternoon their new series of dual-core dual-SIM Android smartphones called DROIDZ, sporting displays from 4 inches to a massive 6 inches.

Starting the lineup is the DROIDZ Atom which sports a 4-inch WVGA (800 x 480) capacitive touchscreen. It has a 5 megapixel camera with flash, VGA front-facing, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, 4GB internal storage and microSD support for up to 32GB.

Next up is Torque’s phablet called the DROIDZ Motion – sporting a 5.3-inch qHD (960 x 540) capacitive touchscreen. It has the same specs as the DROIDZ Blast but with the addition of a mobile TV. So instead of pulling out a stylus, you pull out a small antenna instead.

Finalizing the DROIDZ smartphone lineup is the massive DROIDZ Life which has a 6-inch FWVGA (854 x 480) capacitive touchscreen and sports the same specs as the DROIDZ Blast. There’s no mobile TV but you do get a really large display.

Torque DROIDZ Life specs:
6.0inch display @ 854×480 pixels

The DROIDZ smartphones run a customized version of Android that uses Torque’s DROIDZ Flex Technology which enhances the graphics processing powers of the handsets.

(Note: The OS used by the DROIDZ during the announcement is just a test OS and not the final and official OS, which explains why it looks similar to other brand’s OS)

The DROIDZ are scheduled to be launched in January of 2013. There’s no specific pricing as of the moment but all of them will be priced below Php10,000.

    Ang masasabi kolang ay ito, wag nyong bilhin ang unit brand na ito. Nakabili na ako ng cp sakanila b4 i68flow. Isang week lang bumigay na ang saksakan ng charger sa unit, nabaklas ang port, tapos overnight lang wala ng charge kahit naka idle lang. Ang speakers nito basag ang sound. Hay… Nasayang lang ang 4k ko. Mahina ang signal reception. Hindi kasi ako mismo ang bumili kaya nadale.

    Copying of designs?
    Galaxy S3 Mini
    Galaxy S3
    Galaxy Note II
    LG or Huawei?

    • Avatar for Pa3k Pa3k says:

      Exactly. The first three phones are Samsung designs: Galaxy S3 Mini, Galaxy S3, and Galaxy Note II, while the fourth one looks like a typical LG design. I hope Torque wouldn’t face any issues with this. They have been doing this too with their low-end phones, copying designs of Nokia.

  22. Avatar for sonfox sonfox says:

    Bakit puro s3 ang designed ang pangit naman tignan.

  23. Avatar for Mark Mark says:

    i want this for christmas
    i hope for me to have enough saving for droidz motion

  24. Avatar for Mark Mark says:

    is that multi-touch?
    does it have what they say gravity sensors?
    my friend says that gravity sensors causes the screen display to rotate.

    So Cool!!! I wish its cheaper than CherryMobile and MYPhone. Can’t wait to see these new sets of phone in their branches. I hope they would have a somehow like Ipad 3rd gen size in their tablets and increase their RAM 3-4x cuz some apps has too big mb to install. Anywyas… i’m looking forward with these phones. Nice keep it up!! :)

  28. Avatar for Kevin Kevin says:

    Ayaw ani ug pal it dong, atimana any 512mb only RAM ug any iyang battery nga dili mailhan hahaha ang pinakapait kay made in Chinese plastic LOL

  29. Avatar for Zo Zo says:

    No details as to the aspect ratio of that 6 incher but with how the design looks… it looks too narrow, putting it in landscape and watching movies on it won’t be pretty..i think.

  30. Avatar for Yuja Yuja says:

    Color Black please. harhar
    YUp My current unit drains really quickly, isang araw lang. buti mai battery saver app.

  31. Avatar for itachi1 itachi1 says:

    Oooohh… more Samsung and LG ripoffs… good luck sa RAM and battery usage hehehe

  32. Avatar for MarcoRey MarcoRey says:

    pag tumitingin ako ng bagong phone, ang una ko pa naman tinitingnan ay yung sa mAh ng battery.

    aanhin mo ang magandang specs kung mahina naman ang battery.

  33. Avatar for Anon Anon says:

    How about the battery capacity of each phone?

  34. Avatar for William C William C says:

    Why does the Motion 6″ has a lower resolution than the other two? If only they are 1GB RAM, they would be great buys (depending on the price).

    It looks like they are preannouncing, para hindi bumili ng CherryMobile/MyPhone/Cloudfone ang naghahanap ng Smartphone. The same way Cherry Mobile pre-empted Myphone 919 by announcing the Flame/Skyfire/Omega.

  35. Avatar for chacha chacha says:

    what about the battery?

    • Avatar for Drey Drey says:

      What about the Battery life? with screen real estate like these, its sure to need a good battery size.

    OMG I LOVE IT 6 INCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    6″ screen! lakinq smartphone neto ah

  38. Avatar for MarcoRey MarcoRey says:

    ilan mAh ng battery nito?
    ganda ng specs pero baka mabilis naman ma-lowbat.

  39. Avatar for Ron Ron says:

    I have not tested nor owned a Torque phone and I am all for Pinoys getting these kinds of phones but those scream cheap. As in Samsung/LG knock-off cheap, on the looks department. Though the specs are not different from other cheap (price-wise) rebranded China phones, I’d opt for CM, MP or CF; they are more “distinct”.

  40. Avatar for darren darren says:

    i wonder kung anong performance nung JB na 512 RAM. nababasa ko kasi sa mga blog blog. karamihan dapat daw 1Gb. hihi… at sayang ang torque. ang dami daming names kelangan pa DRoidz? CM killed it in naming a device lols.

  41. Avatar for wengweng wengweng says:

    battery specs? hopefully they’re all 2000mAh and up

  42. Avatar for Smokescreen Smokescreen says:

    It’s odd that the 6inch display has a worse resolution than the 5.3inch one.

  43. Avatar for James James says:

    Maganda na sana, kaya lang..

    Jelly Bean plus 512 MB RAM? Tsk, tsk.

  44. Avatar for ty ty says:

    they look samsungish hehe. They should launch now while there are hard to find stocks of cherry mobile phones and myphone. :)

  45. Avatar for LEAM LEAM says:

    Pang chimay na phone! Ang daming tuwang tuwa!

  46. Avatar for lee lee says:

    kung mababa ung price nito, as in kayang mkipag compete sa CM, Myphone at startmobile,, sure. patok to.. antay nlng tayo.. sana makuha nang torque ang expectation natin

    sayang nexr year pa ilalabas! wala ng pera ang tao nyan! kng i launch nila ito siguraradong panalo to!

  52. Avatar for geco geco says:

    siguro nmn prototype palang yan :) , ang pangit kasi ng logo. parang yung china phone na HDC tapos nilagyan ng sticker.

    gusto ko yung Atom parang S3 Mini, sa likod nlng ilagay yung logo tapos lagay lang ng jelly case ok na.

  53. Avatar for Ken Ken says:

    Oo nga para lang sticker yung logo. Baka china phone yan na imitation ng s3 tapos linagyan lang nila ng sticker.
    Hahahaha

    Peace mga torque fans :)

    • Avatar for Louie Louie says:

      Hi guys, thanks for reading the article. The logos are really stickers. We’re yet to see the final models.

  58. Avatar for Zayne Zayne says:

    3 Words “Samsung Phones Copied”

    if only there was a Legal System Where a company can sue the other for copying the feel, look and design….

    • Avatar for Ron Ron says:

      There is and Apple won against Samsung from copying it’s trade dress (look and feel) of the iPhone.

      The 1BILLION lawsuit.

  59. Avatar for jooris jooris says:

    lols, lufet ng logo, parang sticker lang, wahahaha!

  60. Avatar for June Justine June Justine says:

    Galaxy S3 Mini, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, LG Optimus Vu. Pwede na din. Sana yung Atom eh kasing price lang ng Flare. At least eto magmumukhang S3.

    But Torque, get ready to be double sued by Samsung and Motorola. lolz
