French electronics company Archos has just teased one of the first devices to run Windows 10 out the box, the 50 Cesium.
Set to make its debut at IFA, taking place in Berlin next month, the 50 Cesium looks to be another affordable offering planned to launch alongside an Android counterpart in the 50e Helium. Like the Cesium, the 50e Helium also boasts the latest available build of its respective OS, Android version 5.1 Lollipop. Beyond their operating systems and a few minor cosmetic differences however, both phones pack the same internals.
Here are the specs:
