Allview X1 Soul
Allview X1 Soul released in November 2013, is a budget-oriented smartphone with some really nice features and specs. Sadly, it is a single SIM version, while the dual SIM budget friendly handsets are enjoying a huge popularity around the globe. The phone has a powerful quad-core processor at 1.5 GHz with 2 GB of RAM, so this is the first model from the Brasov-based company with a quad-core CPU inside. In addition, it has 32 GB of storage and slot for expansion. X1 Soul is definitely the most advanced model and its main camera supports that. On the back is a 13 MP shooter, coupled with a 5 MP front-facing camera. The dimensions of the Allview X1 Soul are 143 x 69 x 7.9 mm and it weighs 129.4 grams. It is a thin device that comes in a single black polycarbonate casing. Up front, there is a 5 inch full HD display with a high pixel density of 441ppi (1920 x 1080p). Overall, the display provides a high-quality picture, good viewing angles and outdoor readability. The phone is powered by a 2000 mAh battery, offering similar lifetime to the Galaxy S4. The mobile platform is Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. | |
