Redfox Aurea
A new smartphone is coming, and it’s one
that will surely turn heads for being the first in the local mobile market to
sport a USB Type-C port. Here is The Redfox Aurea.
Redfox, to the uninitiated, is an IT
company in the Philippines that manufactures computers and electronic
components. It’s not the usual company that comes to mind when smartphones are
the topic of conversation. Nonetheless, Redfox unveiled a couple of smartphones
before the Aurea, such as the Horizon and WizPhone.
Preliminary specs seem to indicate a
handset in the upper midrange category: Snapdragon 615 processor, 3 GB of RAM,
32 GB onboard storage, 5.5-inch 720p display, 13-megapixel main camera,
5-megapixel front camera, 4G LTE connectivity, and a fingerprint sensor. Aurea
also comes with a fast charging, 2,500 mAh battery that reaches full charge in
just 40 minutes.
And as mentioned above, the Aurea will
take advantage of the USB Type-C port. It’s the version that can be plugged in
either orientation. Not many smartphones
currently have this feature. Even the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
are sticking to the plain, old microUSB port, if the leaked press renders are
to be believed.
Redfox has yet to reveal the price and
availability of the Aurea smartphone.
