The Chinese mobile market will be the cozy home of all new and weird Android hardware for quite a long period of time. This is only the beginning.

At first, the QiGi i6 came out of the closet featuring both Android and WinMo compatibility apparently setting a new standard for all future Chinese devices. Now, time has come for the HKC Pearl to step in boasting an HTC-looking design. Under the case the Pearl hides a 2.8-inch QVGA display, 128MB of RAM, 256MB of ROM, a 2-megapixels camera and WiFi.

Unless you’re planning a trip to China any time soon you won’t be able to purchase one of these phones elsewhere and honestly i cannot really decide if this is a good thing or not. engadget_icebin_mini_hkc_pearl_dsc_0012
