KFC is Releasing a Smartphone in China and We are Just as Confused as You Are

Kentucky Fried Chicken is joining forces with Huawei to release a limited edition smartphone in honor of the fast-food chain’s 30th anniversary in China.

In collaboration with one of China’s largest electronics company, the KFC Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus is available in signature red with a logo of Colonel Sanders and 1987, the year KFC made its debut in the country, inscribed on the back.

According to The Verge, the limited edition phone sports a 5.5-inch screen, runs on a Snapdragon 425 processor, and comes with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage that can expand up to 128 GB using a microSD card.

The KFC Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus has a 3,020 mAh battery life and also comes equipped with a fingerprint scanner.

It also comes preinstalled with a KFC-branded music app, which allows you to create and share playlists at any KFC restaurant located in China.

The phone is priced at 1,099 yuan (about $162), and Huawei and KFC will only release 5,000 devices, so get it while it’s hot!

Here’s KFC’s statement via its Weibo page, which the Verge hilariously translated using Google:

“# Kentucky China 30 years from 1987 to 2017, 30 years accompanied by the taste of the times, suck refers to the aftertaste!

If only the phone could download a bucket of fried chicken, then it would be perfect.
