Markets in South East Asia seem to always gravitate towards large things, we wonder why? Well, Lenovo feels the same and has produced the PHAB Plus, a phone that’s the size of a tablet or a tablet that’s a size of a huge phone. Doesn’t really matter what you term it as, but you should know that it measures at 6.8-inches and has software that makes it easy to handle, one-handed.
We spent sometime with the device and can vouch for it’s one-hand mode, that shrinks the screen to enable users to reach in places they couldn’t in full-screen. This humongous device runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, together with 2GB of RAM. Storage options will leave users with 32GB of internal memory, while you’ll get a microSD slot to calm your memory capacity woes – utilises the only nano-SIM tray of the micro + nano hybrid tray.
Camera optics on the other hand get you a decent 13-megapixel shutter that has a dual-tone LEDs to brighten your photos. The aforementioned camera shares a horizontal line with the Dolby Atmos audio speakers, which we’ve yet to fully experience (we’ll update on how it sounds when we can).
On the front however, a 5-megapixel front facing camera is housed on the right of the speaker grill. Below that is a 6.8-inch IPS display that pushes a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. Being the biggest phablet it’ll boast WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-SIM (micro and nano) LTE enabled slots – ensuring you’ll never be disconnected from your connectivity options.
A whale of a package that’s powered by a 3,500 mAh battery, yet still manages to be relatively slim at 7.6mm thickness and weighing 229grams. Set to go on sale today for RM 1,199 (w/ GST) the Lenovo PHAB Plus will be available online and in-stores, with each purchase you’re entitled to a free screen protector and casing combo.
