hello I'm West way to cnet's here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona we're taking a look at three new smartphones from yes a miami-based company that's looking to take on samsung and other major organizations all right let's start with this it's the years a5 QP now the first thing i noticed picking up this phone is that it's extremely light if you spin it on its side it measures just 6.9 millimeters thick and it just feels very very portable I like it if you have a look on the back there's a 13 megapixel camera while on the front you get a 5 megapixel camera despite being super light this thing should be very powerful it's got a 1.7 gigahertz octa-core processor on the inside I can't wait to check out some benchmark tests and see just how powerful this thing really is this 5 inch display has a 720 x 1280 pixel resolution and another thing that's kind of neat about this phone is that it's got metal plating on the inside which yes says will make it quite tough and hard to damage it's running Android version 4.2 now that's not the latest version but i'm told that getting an upgrade to 4.4 Kit Kats might be possible by the time this thing goes on sale yes also has its own app store on this with 50,000 free apps what's cool about that app store is that you don't have to register so no putting in your email address you can just start downloading apps as soon as you get the phone I'm told that this thing will cost less than three hundred and twenty euros is coming out in Europe and the UK in April before a US and latin america release in May next up is this is the a5 VP now unfortunately this thing isn't a real phone yet it's just a dummy model at the moment but I'm assured that eventually this thing will have LTE it'll have a 1.2 gigahertz quad-core processor and it will be coming out in May in europe latin america and the u.s. last but not least is the a zed 4.5 now this phone is interesting because it's aimed at seniors so it has a couple of really interesting features for example if you have a look down here these touch buttons are really really big so they're easy to see all the icons are very simple the interface is very basic if you flip it around there's an SOS button here in case of emergencies there's a 5mm pixel camera two and on the side there is a flashlight control and a switch print FM radio so some inventive features and it's always nice to see some devices from a company that's an underdog but what do you think let me know i'm luis rey tew/cnet here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona
