UPDATE: The Flash Plus 2 is officially priced at RM599 for the 2GB RAM + 16GB storage model. Pre-order starts 3PM on 24 May at Lazada Malaysia. The higher spec 3GB RAM + 32GB storage model is coming mid-June at RM729.
The budget smartphone market is going to be heating up again as the brand new Flash Plus 2 has just been announced. It’s a budget smartphone with a metal replaceable back and a set of pretty impressive specifications considering the price.
Kicking things off, the Flash Plus 2 is a 5.5-inch smartphone with a full-HD display mounted on the front. Below that it has a fingerprint sensor that has 360-degree detection and can unlock your smartphone in just 0.5 seconds.
Inside, it’s powered by a MediaTek Helio P10 processor and a choice of two memory combos. The first gives you 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable internal storage while the higher-spec variant sports 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable internal storage. To keep things running smooth, the Flash Plus 2 will come with an optimised stock Android Marshmallow experience.
The device also has dual SIM LTE support with a dedicated MicroSD card slot so you won’t have to worry about sacrificing a SIM card for memory expansion.
It’s also got a 13MP f/2.0 rear-facing primary camera for imaging and a 5-megapixel wide-angle selfie snapper with an LED flash at the front. The 13-megapixel primary camera uses a mixture of PDAF and contrast autofocus to help it pull focus within 0.1 seconds.
What’s also interesting about this smartphone is the fact that it has a removable metal back. Prying it open will reveal the 3,000 mAh battery that has support for flash charge quick charging that Flash says can give you a 50% charge in just 30 minutes.
As a cherry on top of the proverbial cake, the Flash Plus 2 also comes with an NXP9890 audio amplifier and a 32-bit advanced audio headphone DAC (AKM4375).
The price for all of this? Flash lists the Plus 2’s global reference price at USD160 (about RM644) for the base 2GB RAM model while the higher 3GB RAM model will go for USD190 (about RM765).
Good news is, we won’t have to wait too long for this device (or its local Malaysian price) as Flash will be launching their latest smartphone here next week on 24th May 2016. Stay tuned for our coverage!
