Cherry Mobile recently
announced Infinix Pure XL, its latest phablet offering that frames a 5.5-inch screen
real estate with 720p HD resolution. The
device is a promising octa-core device from the local tech giant unveiled in
the recent Thanksgiving and Dealers night last December 2. We will be dishing
out the features of this Php 6,999 device, so stay with us after the jump.
Design
and Construction
The phone has rounded back
edges with matte finish and metallic accents on the sides which obviously gave
it a premium look from a distance. The growing interest for larger phones
causes the industry to produce even more gigantic sizes like Google Nexus
6-incher smartphone. And the 5.5-inch display of the Infinix Pure XL is quite appealing.
The overall aesthetics of
the phone looks fine; it actually reminds me of the Nexus 5’s form factor.
Internals
In line with the high resolution
screen is the speedy MediaTek MT6592 octa-core processor that is clocked in
1.4GHz speed. This CPU is supported by a giga-byte of RAM for smooth
interaction across the whole platform.
How
does the Cherry Mobile Infinix Pure XL differ from other octa-core phones?
Information about the
chipset suggests that the Cherry Mobile Infinix Pure XL is using the MediaTek
MT6592 “True Octa-Core” which uses energy efficient cores away from the popular
big.LITTLE technology. This SoC also maintains the right blend of temperature
and power consumption so that the device will deliver the optimum performance
without overheating the central processing module.
In short, it packs the right
combination of processors that deliver high and efficient performance, for fast
and smooth experience.
Camera
Across the board, the
Cherry Mobile Infinix Pure XL has an 8GB of internal memory with expandable
storage via microSD. It also sports 13MP and 2MP rear and selfie cameras,
respectively, giving a capable pointing-and-shooting experience for its users.
There’s also Android KitKat and 2600mAh battery to power the handheld.
The
Wrap
Plethora of smartphones
coming in once in a while delivering similar feature set - larger HD screens,
octa-core processors and Android KitKat. These devices flood the local market
and we could hardly see anything revolutionary anymore. The Cherry Mobile
Infinix Pure XL is not an exception. I guess, choosing a device is just a
matter of the user’s preferred combination of specs; plus the trade-offs that
he or she is willing to accept.
