Archos 50d Oxygen


The next member in Archos' Oxygen line of smartphones has been unveiled today. It's called Archos 50d Oxygen.

The 50d keeps the 5-inch screen size from its predecessor, but ups the resolution to 1080p. It's powered by MediaTek's MT6753 chipset, featuring a 1.3 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU, aided by 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of expandable storage. 4G LTE support is built-in, as well as dual-SIM functionality.

The main camera is a 13 MP unit with a LED flash, while selfies will be taken care of by the front-facing 5 MP snapper. The phone has all the usual connectivity options (except NFC), and a removable 2,100 mAh battery. It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop. Its dimensions are 141.4 x 70.8 x 8.2 mm, and it weighs 140 grams.

It will become available at some point in May, for a recommended retail price of £ 129 (SIM-free and unlocked, of course).
