New Baidu Cloud phone unveiled: Changhong H5018 with 300GB of cloud storage

[![Image][1] ][2]

That new Baidu Cloud phone we [told][3] you about last week? You're looking right at it! Following the flagship [Dell Streak Pro D43][4] (which was branded with what was then known as Baidu Yi aka version 1.0 of the platform), this Foxconn-built [Changhong][5] H5018 is the second smartphone to have its Android Gingerbread system enhanced by Baidu, meaning it'll come with _300GB_ of cloud storage space (instead of the old 100GB), voice search, voice control and a set of other online services offered by the Chinese search giant.

As for the hardware itself, we're looking at a 10.3mm-thick matte chassis housing a 650MHz MTK6573 processor, a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 display, a three-megapixel camera and a non-removable 1,400mAh battery, all of which would explain that highly affordable CN¥899 (US$140) off-contract price tag. That said, you'll still find a dual-SIM (WCDMA plus GSM) tray and a microSD slot hidden beneath the bottom cover. Not sure where [ZTE][6] is on this one, but for now, you can head over to _Sina Tech_ for its hands-on report and photos.
