News making the rounds on the Internet at the moment is that Pepsi will release its own smartphones and accessories and will sell them only to its customers in China. The Pepsi phone is rumoured to be called the ''P1'' and it wouldn't be expensive. Pepsico Inc confirmed news of its intention to make smartphones in China itself in an email.
''We are pleased to share that Pepsi is working with a licensing partner to bring a line of mobile phones and accessories to market in China in the next few months." A pepsi spokeswoma says. "Available in China only, this effort is similar to recent globally licensed Pepsi products which include apparel and accessories" the spokewoman continued.
Wow! that coming from a beverage company. Do you think Pepsi can steal some market share from Apple and Samsung in China? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
