Philips Swift S616L
The new phablet called ‘Philips
Swift S616L‘ from the company is listed online. This is the same device that
was certified by TENAA in September.
It sports a huge 6.5-inch IPS display
with 720p resolution. Recently, Lenovo had also launched a phablet called Phab
Plus with a 6.8-inch display but this comes with 1080p resolution. The S616L is
powered by 64-bit Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor along with 2 GB of RAM. It
also has 16 GB of internal storage and can be expandable up to 32 GB via MicroSD
card slot.
The device comes with a plastic back
panel and chrome finished frame around the device. Unlike the glossy finish on
the back, it comes with a matte back that offers some grip while holding this
6.5-inch phablet. While the recently launched S616 and V787 came with Android
5.1 Lollipop out of the box, the V616L still run on the out-dated Android 4.4
Kitkat.
On the camera front, it has a 13 MP rear
camera with LED flash and a 5 MP front-facing camera for selfies and video
calls. The 3,000 mAh removable battery is what keeps the device powered we can
expect it to last for a single day of mixed usage. It supports dual SIM dual
standby and also offers 4G LTE connectivity.
It measures 8.9 mm thick and weighs
around 188 grams. The phablet is priced at 1,399 Yuan (US$ 220) and is already available for purchase. It is available in
the Gold color, and we can expect it to be available in the few more colors
once it is officially launched. Stay tuned for more official details regrading
the device.
