iVooMi Me 1+ review – low cost low specs VoLTE smartphone

iVooMi launched Me 1 and Me 1+ handset in the Indian markets, here is the review of iVooMi Me 1+. This is quad core powered handset that supports 4G with VoLTE and its price is Rs. 4,999, is it worth the price let’s find out.

Here is another low cost handset from a new brand called iVooMi. The Me 1+ handset is using Spreadtrum quad core processor that is not the best out there, usually low cost phones are using this chipset.

The Me 1+ looks like those old handsets that we used to get couple of years back, bulky. Body is made of plastic and the back cover can be removed, you can also remove the battery. Everything is just about okay and the only thing to talk about is the battery life.

iVooMi Me 1+ Gaming Review

The Asphalt 8 game was playable in very low visual quality mode. The processor is not that powerful, so not really for gaming users.

iVooMi Camera  Review

Rear Camera : 8MP AF with f/2.8 aperture, flash
Front Camera : 5MP with f/2.8 aperture, FF

Camera quality is just about average. This handset can shoot HD videos and the video quality is good.

Charging Time : up to 3 hours 30 minutes using travel charger provided
Battery Life : 5 to 10 hours non-stop (moderate to heavy)

Since the CPU is not that powerful it consumes less battery juice.

Verdict

The iVooMi Me 1+ is an okay handset that really does not have the looks, performance, camera is okay but battery life is impressive (thanks to low powered processor). Overall not really that tempting, better options are available in the market.

Rating : 2.8 out of 5
