China Techfaith Wireless Communication Technology Limited (NASDAQ:CNTF – News) (“TechFaith”), a China-based original developed product (ODP) provider focused on the original design and development of handsets and sales of finished products, today announced the launch of the G6, the mobile phone for sporty games.

G6 was designed to serve as a feature-rich mobile phone, and both an equally strong mobile gaming platform and as a remote control for PC gaming, with advanced motion sensors. Customers will initially be able to play table tennis, tennis, bowling, golf, car racing, and other sporting games. The G6 also features dual-GSM SIM card standby functionality in a small and easy-to-carry design factor.
