SKK Mobile finally unveiled their new android phone called as the SKK Mobile Platinum. The Platinum is their answer to other local brands’ recently released high-end smartphones. But can it compete?
SKK Mobile Platinum has the same internals like its competitors. The basics are the 1.2GHz MT6589 quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, and Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. On the camera side, it has a superior 13-megapixel main shooter and a better 5-megapixel front facing camera. At this stage, we still can’t gauge how well these are, but we’re hoping that it will live up to our expectations.
SKK Mobile Platinum Specs
- Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean
- 5-inch HD (1280×720) Capacitive display, ~294
- 1.2GHz quad-core MT6589 processor
- PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU
- 1GB RAM
- 8GB internal memory
- 13-megapixel main autofocus camera
- 5-megapixel front camera
- 3G, HSPA+
- WiFi, WiFi hotspot
- Bluetooth
- GPS, A-GPS
- Dual-SIM, Dual Standby
- Battery: TBA
The specs are almost identical to the MyPhone A919i Duo (read our review), Cherry Mobile Omega HD 2.0, and O+ 8.15 (read our review). It has some advantages like the 8GB built-in storage (like 8.15) and camera so the price of Php9,999 is okay for the most part. However, we have yet to see how this device perform in real world usage.
We’ve talked to SKK Mobile already and they will send us some units but we still don’t know which device (they have a number of android device already).
What do you guys think? Will you choose this handset over other local android phones?
Ilan po ba maH ng battery? Maganda sana kaso hindi Gorilla Glass o di kaya Dragon Tail man lang sana ang glass. Talo pa rin SKK Platinum sa My Phone Iceberg..
The SKK Silver (same specs and price, only with a 5.7″ screen and a slightly lower ppi) comes with a pre-installed screen protector and a free cellphone case, so it’s probably a safe guess that the SKK Platinum has the same freebies. Plus, the usable internal memory is 6.53GB (while other competing brands have something like 1.77GB) and external memory can be used as the default memory (though I’m not sure, correct me if I’m wrong) – no need for rooting to enjoy high-end games and other memory-related issues :)
di ko alam kung anong gustong establish ng skk at magpepresyo sila ng ganito kamahal na cellphoen. ang cherry nga gorilla glass na 12mp bsi pa, 9k lang eto 12mp nga di naman bsi di din gorilla glass or other somekind of tech 10k eh samantalang baguhan lang sila. what were they thinking?! c’mon!
hindi po gorilla glass ang cherry … dragon tail lang po
dragon trail po hindi dragon tail hehe
w900 gorills glass kaya yun
sana lang minimum of 2500mah na battery. para makalagpas manlang ng 1araw.
may usb on the go po ba ito? at tv out? maraming salamat
Idk about the TV out, but it does have a USB OTG :) Micro USB 2.0
pati rin ba ang front cam. may LED flash??
LOL
wla po siguro
wow ahh grabe kaso wala nga anti- scratch yung screen
just the same as ohd2 but the cam is a little bit higher . they must priced it as the 1919i duo
I see it has an 8 GB ROM but No Drarontrail glass/ Asahi protection? Kinda wondering if the Php 1K difference compared to the OHD2 justifies it.
OK lang P1k kung masmatibay siya sa CM at ayos ang after sales service. May makakasagot ba kung OK atersales nila?
they just outed Silver – 5.7 Quad phone.
