Pyongyang Touch
The Pyongyang Touch (Template:Lang-ko) is a line of smartphone,with its first version launched in North Korea in 2014[1] and probably produced by the Chinese company Uniscope. It is named after the capital of the country, Pyongyang. About the technical data is not much known, but the phone is believed to run a modified version of Android. Externally, it resembles the iPhone 3G and is available in white, pink and blue.[1] Since access to the Internet is denied to a large part of the population in North Korea, there is only access to the Intranet Kwangmyong. It is particularly popular among the younger population.[1]
