Gigabyte outs four dual-SIM Ice Cream Sandwich phones at Computex

[![Gigabyte outs four dualSIM Ice Cream Sandwich phones][1] ][2]

While [Gigabyte][3] was grabbing headlines at [Computex][4] with its world's [lightest Ultrabook][5], the Taiwanese firm was also sneaking out a gaggle of new phones. Four new models, in fact, all of them [Android 4.0][6], all of them dual-SIM. The rest of the specifications are a mixed bag, with the Gigabyte GSmart M1420 winning the camera wars, with an 8-megapixel shooter, backed up with a 4.3-inch 800 x 480 display and 1GHz MT6575 [MediaTek processor][7]. A lower specification M1320 was also announced which is more of the same, but with a smaller, 3.5-inch, display and weaker 3-megapixel snapper. The GSmart G1362 might be more interesting if 4.3 inches is a must, and [Snapdragon's][8] your thing (1GHz), but you'll lose 3 megapixels on the camera compared to the GSmart M1420 as a trade. Finally the GSmart G1342 which only packs in 800MHz (Qualcomm) and 3.5-inches of display. There's scant detail on price and availability at the moment, but have a sift through the source link if you want the blow-by-blow breakdown, and head to our Chinese site to get a hands-on with the G1342 and G1362.
