In an exclusive sneak peak, Cloudfone has given us access to their upcoming devices. In addition to the already launched Next Infinity Quattro and Next Infinity, there are two more devices that are awaiting the green light for announcement.

Not the latest, but still a capable SoC. It also has 3GB of RAM, 32GB of on-board storage, and a 3,000mAh battery.
