Archos 50 Helium 4G
 |
The French manufacturer has surprised us with Archos 50 Helium 4G in two aspects. First it has some decent mid-range specs and secondly – it runs the latest OS built – Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, unlike most of the flagship phones on the market. This is a 5-inch phablet with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The phone weighs 160 gr and measures 145 x 71.5 x 9 mm. Powered by a quad-core processor ticking over at 1.2 GHz, the Archos 50 Helium comes with LTE/4G support, an 8 MP backside camera with LED flash and autofocus, front-facing VGA shooter and 8 GB inbuilt storage plus a microSD slot. |
