With phones today
offering similar designs and features, newcomers ROKiT are trying to stand out
from the crowd. After becoming the official sponsor of F1’s Williams Racing
team, the brand is officially launching its fleet of phones in the US.
The lineup members
range from inexpensive featurephones like the ROKiT One and ROKiT F-ONE to
full-blown Android powered ROKiT IO LIGHT, IO 3D and PRO IO 3D smartphones. As
the names suggest, the latter two include the company’s 3D display technology,
promising glasses-free 3D content playback. Yet, the real perk of ROKiT phones
are the bundled services.
We are the first
company to pair vital life services with affordable, high-quality phones.
Because we believe having these basic necessities is a right for everyone, not
just the chosen few. Ranging from life and health insurance plans to roadside
assistance and the unoriginal named ROCKFLiX 3D streaming service, the company
offers all its services free for one year.
Without a doubt,
the most interesting ROK features are the accidental death insurance (covering
up to US$ 100,000), burial and cremation service and ID theft all covering the
phone owner and his family. Other benefits include 24/7 online access to a
doctor, pharmacy savings and a year's worth of unlimited Wi-Fi calling.
Specs wise the top
of the line ROKiT PRO IO 3D features a 5.99" FHD+ display with a glass
build. The Helio P23 chipset along with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage drives it,
while the back features a dual 13MP + 2MP 3D camera setup with flash and a
fingerprint sensor.
The phone runs on a
clean version of Android 8.1 Oreo. There are dual SIM slots, a 3.5 mm headphone
jack, and a 3,850 mAh battery can be topped up via microUSB. ROKiT phones are
priced from US$ 40 to US$ 300 and aim to cater to the budget segment or those who
don’t have access to readily available medical services. All five devices are
available starting today on ROKiT and Walmart websites.
