Marshall
London
Marshall
London, a new smartphone made for audiophiles and music lovers alike. In terms
of design, it’s a very neatly build handset. It has an elegant leather back
that is very reminiscent of other Marshall products. It does have a removable
battery and microSD card slot, which is something that is becoming less common
on the mid-range and flagship level.
There’s
an 8 MP camera on the rear, as well as a 2 MP front shooter. The Marshall
London comes with dual front-facing speakers, as well as a couple of 3.5 mm
headset jacks, making it simple to share your music with others. The volume
rocker is actually a wheel, and there is an extra golden clicker up top that
gives you quick access to all your music applications. These are both very
functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Its
size also makes it a very comfortable handset at 4.7 inches (720p display), but
the real focus is on music. This is why the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is
supported by a dedicated sound card by Cirrus Logic. Press the physical button
on the top and the phone will take you to Marshall’s music central. From there,
you can select local music or streaming services. Users will also be able to do
some recording and manipulate the equalizer, as well as selecting different
volume levels per output.
It’s
available in Europe, and especially in the UK, where you can have it for US$
499 / £ 399.
