O+ 8.15 Specs, Five Key Features That Vic Sotto Loves About It : O+ Flagship Smartphone Now Available at O% Interest for 12 Months Installment
I've had my O+ 8.15 as my daily phone for almost five months now -- and up to this very day, I'm still very much in love with it.
And why not? It's beautiful; It feels very solid in the hand; And it has powerhouse internal specifications for a sub-Php 13,000 device. Needless to say, I highly recommend it to all Pinoy gadget fans who are looking for a more than capable Android smartphone that effortlessly grabs attention because of its elegant design but doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Apparently, I'm not the only one who's totally smitten with this smartphone. Bossing Vic Sotto, one of the Philippines' most iconic celebrities, likes O+ 8.15 so much - it appears - that he even outlined five key features of the handset that he particularly likes. Don't take my word for it, TP Friends; Watch the new O+ 8.15 television commercial featuring one of Eat Bulaga's main men.
Quad Core Processor : O+ 8.15 runs on a 1.2 GHz Quad Core ARM Cortex A7-based MediaTek MT6589 chipset that delivers smooth, lag-free touch response and powerful gaming performance.
Air Shuffle : This patented innovation, which utilizes the smartphone's proximity sensor, permits a touch-less mobile experience allowing users to take photos, play music, and browse images simply by waving their hands in front of the screen. I find that this is particularly useful for taking selfies using the main cam since the handset doesn't have a camera button; This, I think, makes up for the rather lackluster front-facing cam -- something that O+, I believe, is already working hard on improving.
Direct to Printer : Instantly connect to a nearby printer for creating hard copies of Word documents and other files.
USB On-The-Go Support : Quickly transfer files to a USB flash drive or external hard disk using this feature and a very affordable cable that you can get separately at any gadget shop.
8 MegaPixel Autofocus Camera with BSI Sensor : One of the best things about O+ 8.15 is its stellar imaging capabilities. Its 8 MegaPixel camera delivers images with crisp details and brilliant colors in both daylight and low light conditions.
Personally, what I love about this phone - apart from all the features that Bossing mentions in the clip - are its clear and bright HD IPS display protected by scratch-resistant Dragontrail glass and its expensive-looking design identity replete with lush metallic accents in practically all panels.
Want to get this phone for yourself or a loved one? Take advantage of O+'s existing promo intended for credit card holders wherein when you buy O+ 8.15 Android, you can get it at 0% interest for 12 months for only Php 1,083.00/monthly on all major credit cards! Again, I highly recommend it.
My unit is actually a prototype device, which came straight from O+'s factory. Our friends from O+ gave it to me a week before the phone's official launch in the Philippines last May 11, 2013.
