Malata M1 Plus
Phone maker Malata had their new top of
the range Malata M1 Plus at MWC, a phone with Meizu styling and Hello P10
chipset. The Meizu design seems to be the default of smartphone makers wanting
to build a flagship phone but lacking any sort of imagination.
Malata have made a few changed to their
Meizu clone by adding a fingerprint scanner to the rear of the phone rather
than in the a physical home button (the same can be seen on the Xiaomi Redmi
Note 3 and various models from UMI).
Malata haven’t for the usual trap of
giving their phone low-end hardware though, as the specs listed are actually
pretty nice.
The chipset is the Mediatek Helio P10,
there is up to 3 GB RAM, a 5.5-inch FHD display, 8 mega-pixel front camera, and
21 mega-pixel rear sensor with PDAF. The battery size of the phone wasn’t
revealed but the rear of the phone does have pins to allow for ‘wireless’
charging.
It looks like Malata are going to try
and sell this phone as an ODM device so expect to see the M1 Plus branded as
various other phones over the coming year.
