Marvell announced Yulong Coolpad's 1,000RMB TD-LTE smartphones for China Mobile, based on Marvell's ARMADA(R) Mobile solutions. The Coolpad 8720L mass market 4G LTE smartphones powered by Marvell's high-performance and cost-effective PXA1088LTE System-on-Chip further accelerate the adoption of 4G LTE in China. The Coolpad 8720L smartphone features Marvell's PXA1088LTE quad-core solution which supports Time-Division Long-Term Evolution (TD-LTE), Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) and Global System for Mobile (GSM), for the fast growing 4G LTE market in China.

The Coolpad 8720L is the industry's first 1,000RMB 4G LTE phone for China Mobile, powered by Marvell's PXA1088LTE quad-core based single-chip System-on-Chip (SoC) solution. The Coolpad 8720L is targeting cost-effective 4G LTE smartphones for the mainstream consumers worldwide. Being the first to market, the Coolpad 8720L will stand as a benchmark for the 4G quad-core smartphone growth in China -- a key directive of Marvell and its leadership in China.

Marvell was chosen to power Yulong Coolpad's devices because of Marvell's strong position in enabling seamless 4G LTE connectivity in both established and emerging regions around the globe. The key features of Coolpad 8720L include: 5.0" 720p HD high resolution display; 5MP main camera and 2.0 MP front camera; 4GB EMMC storage and 1GB LPDDR2 memory; 2,000mAh high capacity battery; TD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, GSM/GPRS/EDGE multi-modes. Marvell ARMADA Mobile PXA1088 LTE: the Marvell PXA1088LTE combines Marvell's leading silicon and cellular modem expertise to enable the design of high-performance, low-power smartphone and tablet devices that can be used and supported with configurations for TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplex Long Term Evolution), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplex Long Term Evolution), TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) and EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS).
