Ulefone are finally launching their ultra-budget
dual camera Ulefone S8 for just US$ 69.99 (including a TPU case). Ulefone didn’t skimp
on build quality on the S8, indeed the phone comes with a rigid metal frame and
a nicely curved back for easier handling, there’s also 2.5D glass to cover the
front panel.
What surprises the most on such a cheap device are
probably the really thin bezels which are just 0.5mm wide, something other
devices can only dream of in this price range. The Ulefone S8 is also a
camera-centric phone with a dual camera setup on the back composed of two 13MP
shooters, this should allow to create DSLR-looking photos with a shallow depth
of field. Meanwhile on the front of the phone we find a selfie camera
accompanied by an LED flash.
Since we’re talking about the phone’s anterior,
there is where we also find the 5.3-inch HD panel with a pixel density of
277PPI. As far as internal hardware goes, the Ulefone S8 is powered by a
MTK6580 quad-core 1.3 GHz chipset and it packs a 3000 mAh li-polymer battery
which should grant a day of usage. The back cover is removable so you can
potentially swap batteries, behind the back cover is also where you can insert 2
SIM cards and one 128GB microSD card.
The Ulefone S8 will be running Android 7.0 Nougat
out of the box and support OTA updates. It’ll be available in Black and White
for now, with the Golden version coming later on.
