Marvell Reveals $99 Pantheon Platform-based Smartphone Marvell also has a brand new smartphone and this one seems to be the cheapest of them all. The Pantheon-powered handset is supposed to cost only $99 which is a more than affordable price. And yes, it is a smartphone, one that is ready to deliver some impressive specs and features.

The Marvell smartphone will get you the new Pantheon platform which can offer you 800MHz dedicated ARM compliant application processors, dual ARM and DSP processors for modem functionality, 720p video recording, DirectX, Open GL ES support, MIPI compliant camera, RF interfaces and support for both Android and Windows Mobile OS.

These are definitely features worthy of other smartphones out there so it will be interesting to see when and where will such a Marvel device be available in stores.

We'll have to wait for MWC to see what we can expect in terms of pricing from this year's upcoming smartphones. But $99 sounds like a more than impressive price and I'm sure that quite a few emerging markets could use this Pantheon-based Marvell creation.
