Image: Daily NK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As the popularity of smartphones continues to grow in North Korea, many different options are flooding the market. Daily NK recently obtained a North Korean tablet PC called &#8220;Pyongyang 3404,&#8221; which was previously unknown in South Korea. It has been virtually unheard of in the outside world because North Korea\u2019s state media have not reported on it.<\/p>\n<p>North Korea\u2019s Checom Technology Joint Venture Company, which produces telephones and MP3 players, manufactures the Pyongyang 3404, a cellular-type tablet that can make voice calls. North Koreans generally refer to tablet PCs as &#8220;book-size computers&#8221; but this product is referred to as a mobile phone due to its ability to make calls.<\/p>\n<p>Pyongyang 3404 uses a Chinese electronic company\u2019s chipset called Rockchip RK3188T\u2019s. Its performance ability is slightly lower than Samsung\u2019s 2012 Galaxy Note 10.1 and is comparable to an iPhone 5.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39118\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39118\" style=\"width: 697px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/Screenshot-2019-01-03-at-14.13.24.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/Screenshot-2019-01-03-at-14.13.24.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"697\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/Screenshot-2019-01-03-at-14.13.24.png 697w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/Screenshot-2019-01-03-at-14.13.24-300x80.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/Screenshot-2019-01-03-at-14.13.24-696x186.png 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Comparison of specifications between North Korea\u2019s tablet PC \u201cPyongyang 3404\u201d and Samsung\u2019s tablet PC \u201cNote 10.1.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pyongyang 3404\u2019s operating system is Android Kitkat (4.4.2), which was released in September 2013.

Therefore, in order to watch a film or open a document, an electronic signature is required. Electronic signature technology allows one to find out who used the tablet to take what kind of picture and whether they modified the document or not; everything can be tracked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Considering that both Ullim and Pyongyang 3404 use Android Kitkat (4.4.2), it is likely that they employ similar technology.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">*Translated by Yongmin Lee<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the popularity of smartphones continues to grow in North Korea, many different options are flooding the market.
