Firefly
Mobile Intense Metal
Firefly
mobile intros another smartphone under the Intense series that features a
metallic body made of Magnesium alloy, the Firefly Mobile Intense Metal.
It
focuses on ‘beauty and strength’ which are apparent in the photos below
specially the icy champagne or gold model. Moreover, it’s well within the
average Filipino’s budget at PHP 4,499.
The
Firefly Mobile Intense Metal has a huge 5.5-inch screen with zero-gap OGS
technology and protected by a scratch resistant Asahi DragonTrail glass.
However,
it only has a qHD resolution or 540 x 960 pixels which results in a pixel
density of merely 200 ppi. Hopefully, the OGS technology can offset this
weakness and prevent users from noticing the pixels.
On
the other hand, photography should be sweet with its 13 MP rear camera that uses
a backside illuminated (BSI) image sensor from Sony. Selfies are taken care of
an 8 MP front snapper.
A
1.3 GHz quad core processor from MediaTek powers the Firefly Mobile Intense
Metal together with 1 GB of RAM. Sadly, it only has Android 4.4 Kitkat and a
Lollipop update isn’t guaranteed. There’s
8 GB of built-in storage which can be expanded up to 128 GB using a microSD card
and a 3,300 mAh battery that should be enough for more than a day of use.
Each
purchase entitles you to freebies including a water and oil repellant tempered
glass, silicone case and a basic Firefly phone.
