Archos has unveiled four dual SIM handsets in its affordable Titanium line, naming them after the screen size, 40, 45, 50 and 53, with screens and resolutions as follows - 4" (800 x 480 pixels), 4.5" (854 x 480), 5" (960 x 540) and 5.3" (854 x 480). that last one especially should be a sight to behold with that low pixel density.

All four are running Android Jelly Bean, stock from the looks of it, and have dual SIM slots that allow them to support both American and European/Asian networks, with up to 21 Mbps HSPA+ download speeds. The handsets are powered by 1.3 GHz dual-core MediaTek processors, have the lowly 512MB of RAM and 4 GB of storage, but there are misroSD slots for expansion.

We also get 5 MP rear cams and 0.3 MP front-facing shooters, all for rock bottom prices in the $100-$200 and change range, as you can see in the Archos comparison tablet below.
