And I’m also not talking about some Chinese electronics company named after your favorite beverage brand Pepsi.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to the reports, one of the world’s large companies, Pepsi, is planning to launch it’s first ever smartphone. This is a whole new area for Pepsi, but according to an official Pepsi account spotted on Weibo (also called the Chinese Twitter), an unannounced Pepsi P1 smartphone is in the making.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It won’t be wrong to expect that Pepsi will be contacting any one of the Asian phone manufacturers, who would happily make phones on behalf of PepsiCo.
