Obi Worldphone SJ 1.5

Although the naming scheme for this device is a bit strange , Obi has done a wonderful job in creating a good looking handset for the asking price of $119 .The phone ,designed in ~~California~~ San Francisco comes in 4 different colors and a internal metal chassis for extra strength. The internals of the device are far from impressive ,but it will get the job done and having Android 5.1 will certainly help.The phone has a Mediatek MT6580 Soc clocked to 1.3Ghz along with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage which is expandable via Micro SD cards , the phone has a 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front facing one . The phone ,like its bigger brother ,features Dual sim support as well as a 5" display but has been downscaled to 1280x720p . The phone has a 3000 mAh battery and hopefully this will give this phone a impressive battery endurance .
