EE's Harrier line launches with two affordable smartphones

UK operator EE has announced two new own-brand smartphones today. They are the Harrier and the Harrier Mini, continuing EE's habit of naming mobile devices after birds.

The Harrier comes with a 5.2-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash, 2GB of RAM, and a 2,500 mAh battery. At the helm is Qualcomm's 64-bit Snapdragon 615 SoC with an octa-core CPU. The Harrier is just 8.9mm thin, and it runs Android 5.0 Lollipop.

EE will sell it for £199.99 on Pay as you go, and it will be free with contracts starting at £21.99 per month.

The Harrier Mini is obviously smaller, as its name implies. It's got a 4.7-inch 720p touchscreen, an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash, 1GB of RAM, and a 2,000 mAh battery. It's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410 chipset, coming with a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU. The Mini also runs Android 5.0 Lollipop.

It will be offered on Pay as you go for £99.99, and it will be free with contracts starting at £16.99 per month.

Both smartphones have support for 4G LTE, as well as Wi-Fi calling. They will be available for purchase on April 28, which is next Tuesday.
