Obi Worldphone has come up with their latest phone
called Obi Worldphone MV1. MV1 most probably refers to Mountain View 1. This is
the first time Obi Worldphone has launched its phone at Mobile World
Congress.
The
phone has been designed by famous Ammunition Group which is led by Apple alumni
Robert Brunner. Obi Worldphone's founder John Sculley said during the launch, “This is an industry with 200 different brands
vying for consumers’ attention. There will be 1.4 billion Android phones
produced in 2016 alone, so there needs to be a way to stand apart from the
pack. The components for all these different phones are mass produced, in the
same countries, and often in the same exact factories. What we’ve done with the
Obi Worldphone from the very beginning is show that it’s possible to have a
beautifully designed phone that fits into your lifestyle at an accessible price
without sacrificing form and technology. You don’t have to give up style in
exchange for substance. With the MV1, you can have both.”
Robert
Brunner mentioned that, ““For our markets, the design of the MV1 is a fresh,
modern breath of air in a sea of sameness. Its combination of simple form,
iconic outline and resolved details make it an object to be desired.”
As far
as the specifications of Obi Worldphone MV1 are concerned, it has a 5 inch
floating display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. The elevated display
is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The phone will have an
option of dual Operating Systems i.e. you can either use Android 5.1 or
Cyanogen 12.1.1. Now coming to the processor, the phone runs on a Qualcomm
Snapdragon 212 with 1.3 GHz clock speed. The frontal camera of the phone is of
2 MP and the primary camera is of 8 MP. The phone is available in either 1 GB
RAM or 2 GB RAM. Both the variants will have 16 GB inbuilt memory and will
offer expansion of up to 64 GB through microSD card. The battery power in Obi
Worldphone MV1 is 2500 mAh. The 1 GB variant is priced at USD139 and the 2 GB
