Kata M4

Kata has an even beefier flagship for the holiday season – the M4.

Just last month, Kata unveiled the Selfie – a smartphone with a swiveling 18-megapixel camera and top-notch specs. We thought that it’s the most expensive Kata smartphone this year, but we were wrong. The Kata M4 beats it out for the crown.

The Kata M4 features a 5.5-inch 1080p screen with Gorilla glass protection to prevent bumps and scratches. It’s got a MediaTek octa-core chipset coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage out of the box. It can be further expanded by using a microSD card of up to 128GB. The primary camera is an 18-megapixel sensor while the selfie camera is a 13-megapixel shooter. Wi-Fi, LTE, and GPS are all here – just like every other modern smartphone.

The specs are almost identical to the Selfie with the exception of a slightly smaller battery and an additional camera in front. They’re very different in terms of design, with the Kata M4 taking heavy inspiration from the Nexus 6P and Huawei P9. I honestly think that it’s not worth the extra Php2,000, knowing there are other better options like the OPPO F1s, Vivo V5, Galaxy J7 Prime, Zenfone 3 Max, and Cherry Mobile Flare Infinity.

Like the C2 and i5, those who want the Kata M4 would need to pre-order it (may require minimal downpayment) on any Kata outlet nationwide. It’s priced at Php13,999 and it will come with a free phone case and screen protector.
