FOSSiBOT is set to redefine the mid-range smartphone landscape with the global launch of the FOSSiBOT F101 Pro, a robust device designed to meet the demands of outdoor enthusiasts. Packed with innovative features and practical upgrades, the F101 Pro stands out as a unique offering in the market. The FOSSiBOT F101 Pro boasts a 5.45-inch HD+ touch screen, providing a vivid visual experience for users. However, what sets it apart is the additional 1.32-inch round display on the top back, introducing a new dimension to smartphone functionality. This rear display serves a multitude of purposes, offering users quick access to essential information and functions without unlocking the device.
The rear display, with a resolution of
360*360, functions as more than just an aesthetic addition. Users can
seamlessly check the time, date, and week at a glance. The 24MP main camera’s
quick shoot function, along with notifications, reminders, and battery level
checks, enhances user convenience. The rear display also serves as a control
center for music playback, a timer, a pedometer, call management, and a
recorder, catering specifically to the needs of outdoor enthusiasts.
The design of the F101 Pro reflects a
thoughtful approach to both aesthetics and functionality. Notably, there’s a
notable absence of a large speaker on the back, contributing to a sleeker and
more streamlined appearance. The addition of the 1.32-inch round display on the
top back enhances both the visual appeal and usability of the device.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the F101 Pro
proves to be a reliable companion. The rear display plays a pivotal role in
extending battery life, thanks to its lower power consumption. With nine
functions tailored for outdoor use, users can efficiently navigate through
various features without compromising on energy efficiency.
Under the hood, the FOSSiBOT F101 Pro is
powered by the MediaTek MT8788 octa-core processor. Comprising 4 Cortex-A73
cores at 2.0GHz and 4 Cortex-A53 cores at 2.0GHz, this processor ensures
seamless performance, handling multitasking and resource-intensive applications
with ease. Accompanied by a substantial 8GB of RAM (expandable up to 15GB) and
a capacious 128GB ROM (extendable up to 1TB via TF card), the F101 Pro offers
an impressive memory and storage combination for users with diverse needs.
The F101 Pro’s colossal 10600mAh battery
capacity is a standout feature, providing users with extended usage periods.
With 18W fast charging capabilities, the device ensures a swift recharge
process, taking only 3 hours for a full recharge with the fast charger. The
device boasts an impressive standby time of over 40 days with a SIM card
inserted, making it an ideal choice for users on the go. The triple-camera
system on the back comprises a 24-megapixel main camera, a 5-megapixel macro
camera, and a 0.3-megapixel bookend camera. Additionally, the front-facing
8-megapixel selfie camera ensures users capture moments with clarity. The
diverse camera system caters to various photography preferences, from detailed
macro shots to immersive landscape captures.
The FOSSiBOT F101 Pro introduces NFC
support, a feature absent in its predecessor (F101), expanding the device’s
connectivity options. The device is designed to withstand challenging outdoor conditions,
boasting IP68/IP69K waterproofing, dust and shock resistance, and MIL-STD-810H
compliance. These rugged features ensure the F101 Pro remains operational in
diverse environments, making it an ideal companion for outdoor adventures.
Running on the Android 13 OS out of the
box, the F101 Pro provides users with the latest in Android technology.
Notably, the device is HAC Certified, catering to the needs of hearing aid
users. The inclusion of a side press fingerprint sensor, face ID unlock
support, and a custom button further enhance the device’s security and user
accessibility.
The FOSSiBOT F101 Pro will be available
for a special launch price of US$ 99.99 on FOSSiBOT’s official website and the
AliExpress FOSSiBOT Official Store starting November 11th. After November 17,
the post-launch price will be US$ 139.99. FOSSiBOT F101 Pro stands as a testament
to FOSSiBOT’s commitment to innovation and user-centric design. With a focus on
outdoor usability, robust features, and a competitive price point, the F101 Pro
emerges as a compelling option for users seeking a mid-range rugged smartphone
that seamlessly integrates functionality with durability.
