Cloudfone Thrill Plus 2: 5.5-inch HD Display, Quad-core CPU, 2GB RAM

Cloudfone reveals the follow-up to one of their most popular budget smartphones last year.

The Cloudfone Thrill Plus 2 builds up on what its predecessor left off. For an affordable asking price, it offers a lot of specs and features that can meet everyday needs of casual users.

It features a decent 5.5-inch 720p screen with an acceptable pixel density of 267. Unsurprisingly, the chipset is made of MediaTek, but it’s good to see it in quad-core together with an ample 2GB of RAM.

Cloudfone isn’t being left out when it comes to the camera department, as the Thrill Plus 2 sports formidable a 13-megapixel Sony camera at the back and 8-megapixel sensor in front. Both have LED flash which helps in improving photos taken when there’s not much light available.

It would’ve been great if it was running on Android Oreo out of the box, but I guess that’s too much to ask for in the budget segment. Other highlight includes dual front-firing speakers.
