Posh Mobile Micro X S240
Following the success of the Apple
iPhone SE, we could be in for a flood of smaller-screened handsets making their
way to the marketplace. The difference is that despite the smaller 4-inch
screen on Apple's device, the rest of the iPhone SE carries specs equal to the
flagship Apple iPhone 6s. On the other hand, we don't expect that many of the
new small-screened models will come with specs that will wow us. Consider the
Posh Mobile Micro X S240. This is an Android powered handset that comes with a
2.4-inch screen. To put that in perspective, the display is even smaller than
the 2.81-inch screen found on 2007's LG Voyager featurephone.
Unlike the powerful hardware on the
iPhone SE, the rest of the specs on the Posh Mobile Micro X S240 will make you
feel like Marty McFly heading back in time. The phone is powered by a MediaTek
MT 6572M SoC with a dual-core 1 GHz CPU, and includes 512 MB of RAM and 4GB of
ROM. There is a 2 MP rear-facing camera and a VGA (0.3 MP) front facing camera. A 650 mAh battery keeps the lights
on, and Android 4.4 is pre-installed.
The phone is available from Amazon in
black for US$ 52.55, a 42% price cut from the usual US$ 89.99. In blue, pink or white
you can make the purchase for US$ 49.99, a 44% cut in price. And Posh will even
throw in a coupon good for US$ 15 off your next Uber ride. If you are interested
