Chinese electronics
giant Hisense recently unveiled the next-gen KingKong 6 with a mammoth 10010mAh
battery. What no one told you is that the company also launched a second
smartphone with its own unique feature. The smartphone is the Hisense F40 and
the tech giant says it is equipped with the ability to detect any infrared
camera even if it is hidden. Apart from that and pictures of the device, no
other details were announced.
The Hisense F40 has
now reportedly been certified by TENAA, giving us an idea of what it packs. As
for the specs, the F40 sports a 6.617-inch display with a resolution of
1600×720 pixels. The phone adopts a dimension of 166.3×76.5×9.19mm and weighs
just 170g.
The device packs a
huge 5000mAh battery (4850mAh according to TENAA) which should definitely
ensure you never run out of power. The device powered by an unnamed CPU clocked
at 2.0GHz. You get up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. There are
likely going to be other memory variants.
What should stand out
is the ability of the camera to detect any infrared camera closeby. Thus, when
you enter a hotel room, if there is a hidden camera somewhere it can be
detected with the F40. The phone presents with a quad-camera setup at the rear.
The camera setup consists of a 13MP+8MP+2MP+2MP combo, all stacked at the top
left corner in a vertical orientation. While three of the sensors are in a
single module, the fourth sensor is located under and is believed to be the
infrared detector. At the front, there is an 8MP sensor for cool selfies housed
inside the notch. The device also packs a rear-mounted fingerprints sensor.
The Hisense F40 comes
in Polar Night Black and Star Blue colours. Hisense is yet to officially
announce the pricing and availability details.
