The guys at Qualcomm put together this clip featuring a miniature circus, starring insects as the performers. But this isn’t some old flea circus. Nope, this is a high-tech big top, where the bugs perform daring feats to power a smartphone. Sure, it happens to be a Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered smartphone, but I don’t care. It’s still awesome. I mean what was the last time you saw a praying mantis ride a unicycle? Or a tarantula on a treadmill? Never, right?  But enough of my yakkin. Check out the video for yourself.

Wasn’t that great? The only thing better would have been better would have been to power the phones with Komodo dragons instead of insects, since that might have been more appropriate for the brand. Now I associate Snapdragon smartphones with a bunch of big bugs. Not the perfect message for a technology commercial, eh? Oh well. Still, it’s pretty damned awesome, so I’ll give Qualcomm a break.

The F1 is Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi-enabled. It also has GPS capabilities, an FM Tuner and a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus.

I wish we had hi-res pictures that would do justice to the F1′s 3.8 inch touchscreen, but we’ll have to be content with these shots for now. I also wish that Google would polish up their translator, because I’m pretty sure that ePrice didn’t mean to say that the F1′s “biggest selling point is a 1 GHz processor, doubling the speed while not really, but to ensure faster. ”

Here we see the buttons in front of the phone. I’m not sure if that’s three or four buttons; the ePrice article probably mentions it but again the answer got lost in translation.

That’s the camera right there, along with the LED flash. The vents on the lower left are speakers, and the tiny dent on the upper left of the F1 is actually its stylus.

You can check out more details regarding the F1 at ePrice (Google Mangled Translated version). For our readers who can read Chinese, click here for the original article. And please tell us if we missed any juicy bits.
