If you’re tired of watching your favorite movies and tv series you download from wherever-we-will-not-mention, you may want to check this new device launched by our friends from O+.
Key specifications of this new device include a humongous 6″ HD display (with 1280 x 720 screen resolution), 1.2Ghz quad core processor and 1gb RAM and storage expandability up to 32gb. The smartphone is pre-installed with Android 4.4 Kit Kat, with minimal skinning. You should expect, however, some nifty O+ features implementations like Air Share and Air Shuffle.
Since the phone is already on Kit Kat, the phone has Visitor Mode, which enables users to setup multiple accounts – a cool feature especially for parents who wish to let their kids play with their phones and limit usage certain applications they enabled.
Here are the things you can find inside the device:
- O+ Grande (6″ HD Display)
- MicroUSB cable
- Charger
- 3.5mm headphones
- Screen protector
- 4gb Sandisk MicroSD Card
- Manuals
Build and look wise, O+ Grande looks rather a bit ordinary for a phablet. Apart from its screen and build size, its looks rather a bit bland, which I didn’t take it negatively as it’s clear to me that O+ wishes its customers to focus on its screen (and what people view on it).
Its sleep/wake button is located on its right side – a convenient (and standard) spot especially for phablets. The volume rockers, however, are located on its left side which people with slightly little hands might not find effortless to reach. Having buttons on each sides would render some users to minutely slide the phone from left to right using one hand. Thankfully, O+ Grande’s back panel has a matte texture, which basically reduces the phone’s risk of slipping out of your hand.
Ports are located above the device, and speakers grills are conveniently placed at the back. Its 5mp rear camera is wildly protruded, and it’s complemented with an LED flash, which you may optionally use when taking photos in low light conditions. There’s a 2mp front-facing camera just above its screen to help you take selfies and other weird things you while your friends aren’t looking. (See some of our sample pictures soon on our full review and on our Facebook page)
The device is now available at O+ Stores nationwide for a stunningly affordable price of PhP5,999. You may drop by to one of their shops to experience this product along with their slew of holiday offerings.
