When it comes to ridiculous fast food options, KFC is top of the pile. After all, the company did release fried chicken bouquets for Valentine’s Day earlier this year, as well as the KFC Chizza, which if you recall, consisted of a heart-shaped chicken filet slathered with mozzarella cheese to resemble a real pizza.
But for its latest product…well, let’s just say that it takes the cake. In partnership with Chinese smartphone maker Huawei, KFC has just launched its very own smartphone (an actual working one, mind you) in order to commemorate 30 years of the company’s presence in China.
“Between KFC and Huawei…both brands have witnessed the rise of China in these 30 years. Our collaboration is a homage to the era,” Steven Li, senior vice president of KFC marketing told Campaign Asia-Pacific.
The phone, which is remarkably similar to the iPhone 7’s red edition save for the Huawei logo, arrives with some pretty decent specs. For instance, this fried chicken gadget packs 3GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM, and a Snapdragon 425 processor. Most importantly, there’s a print of Colonel Sanders on its back.
It may not be as powerful as Huawei’s latest flagship – the P10, or have a camera that’s anywhere near as good, but for its price point of 1,099 Yuan (approximately S$223), the phone is pretty decent for what you’re paying. The real issue here is that the phone is only available in China, with only 5,000 units being put up for sale.
If you’re really interested in scoring this limited edition gadget however, the phone is now on sale via Tmall, China’s equivalent of Amazon.
In other fast food news, McDonald’s has just launched a Nasi Lemak burger.
