The Neo N003 Advanced is the revamped version of the Neo N003 released back in September this year. Spotting a 5-inch 1080p display, the Neo N003 Advanced is powered by a 1.2 GHz Mediatek chipset with an incredible 2GB RAM. Coming with a price tag of just $249, the Neo N003 Advanced is no doubt one of the cheapest quad-core device available in the market – besides the iOcean X7 and a few others.
