HOMTOM brand has certainly no shortage of
interesting budget models, but today they are officially adding one more into
the fold. And this new one is a a slightly toned down version of the S99 so
let’s say hello to the shiny new HOMTOM S99i. Most of the specs are kept in
placem, but there are some major differences to go through too.
HOMTOM S99i is also packing the 5,5-inch 18:9 HD+
resolution incell display, but the main change comes with the less powerful
quad-core processor MT6739WW, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. But it’s
certainly a good thing then it’s also keeping the big 6200 mAh battery
capacity. The phone can also offer 13MP+2MP rear cameras, 5MP front selfie
shooter, dual SIM support, fingeprint scanner, face unlock tech, OTG and also
upgraded system to Android 8.1 Oreo instead of the bare Android 8.0.
We don’t know yet the exact release date and pricing
for the new HOMTOM S99i, but surely it will be even more affordable than the
already cheap S99. And it’s quite likely we will be able to see the new phone
model presented on the MWC 2019, because the makers will be of course there,
specifically in the booth 7J17.
