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.
