The Saygus V2 was first introduced to the world this earlier this month at CES 2015. It created quite a stir because it packed a Snapdragon 801 processor, 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB of ROM, and have up to 320 GB of total storage thanks to dual microSD card slots. To top off all those awesome specs, the device comes out of the box rooted and features a 3,100 mAh battery.

Pre-orders were originally supposed to start today, but since they received such high-demand, they extended the registration out until February 2nd at 11:59 AM MST. With all of these high end specs, you would normally expect a high price-point, but that isn’t the case with the Saygus V2.
