Why Cheaper Cellfone Use Edge rather than 3G?
1. COST - 3G UMTS Chips are definitely more expensive than EDGE Radio Chips. Less expensive materials = the cheaper the end product result giving a more balanced profit margin for the company involved.
2. BATTERY LIFE - by using 3G which consumes algorithmically higher power ratings than EDGE you end up needing a higher capacity battery for your fone. Business-wise... its not profitable to put a much expensive battery on a cheap fone.
3. COVERAGE - not all areas in the Philippines have 3G. so in effect you have to switch to EDGE. with that you have to put 2 communications chips into the fone so that you will have connectivity. is that a good pre-production strategy to market a cheap fone?
4. CPU - if in case you didnt notice our fone uses a single core chip as its CPU and GPU at the same time hence slower Graphics performance and less data bandwidth. Most 3G fones are dual or quads with faster GPUs on par with the CPU therefore by using a single core as its base with less base memory they are able to lower the end product pricing. a fone for the masses.
---- what do you expect out of your 2000 pesos?
