CloudFone Excite Prime 2 Pro Has Dual Camera for 2X Lossless Zoom

Local handset brand CloudFone has a number of exciting new Android smartphones that are set to be launched within the next few months. Many of these devices are metal-clad and have stellar imaging capabilities.

CloudFone Excite Prime 2 Pro is one of these amazing new models.

I got to play with the device when the people behind the brand took me as well as some of my friends from the local tech media on a helicopter ride to Mabalacat, Pampanga to experience race car driving at the Clark International Speedway last July 4, 2017.

Off hand, I'd say that if the company can price this below Php 10,000, it'd be one that's worth recommending to millennials and mobile photography enthusiasts alike.

As of writing, the phone's official pricing details and exact release date have yet to be disclosed by the company. If you're interested in this model, kindly stay tuned for updates.

Just from looking at these images, it's obvious that one of the main strengths of this model is its stunning looks. Let me tell you: It looks even better in flesh.

This slim and slick shell is crafted from anodized aluminum (which comes in a number of classy colors including Red and Gold) and has antenna bands at the back that are reminiscent of what you'll find on the far more expensive Apple iPhone 7 Plus.

CloudFone Excite Prime 2 Pro, however, is hardly 'all looks no substance'. It has other key features both on the outside and in the inside that are just as awesome.

The handset sports a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display that's protected by 2.5D Curved Glass, which meets seamlessly with the shell to give a reassuring feel in the hand.

Under the hood, Excite Prime 2 Pro runs its Android 7.0 Nougat operating system with a 64-Bit Octa Core 1.4 GHz ARM Cortex A53 and Adreno 505 GPU based Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage that you can easily beef up using the dedicated microSD card slot. That's right, no need to compromise Dual SIM capability should you want to expand storage.

On top of all these amazing features, the true highlight of CloudFone Excite Prime 2 is its Dual Rear Camera module, which gives this cameraphone true 2X lossless zoom capability, which comes in handy when you can't go too near a subject to get a more interesting or better looking shot.

This is made possible by the secondary 8 MegaPixel optic, which has a different focal length from the main 13 MegaPixel f/2.0 lens.

The Dual Camera set-up likewise features Super Pixel Mode and Portrait Mode, which delivers interesting bokeh or depth of field effects where the subject in focus has a background that's beautifully blurred.

Consumers who love to take selfies should also find the phone's 20 MegaPixel front facing camera with Sony IMX376 sensor a joy to use in various lighting condition. This shooter also benefits from the selfie-centric Beautification software that comes pre-installed in the device.

For added protection, this release is equipped with a Fingerprint Scanner at the back, which provides another layer of security and allows the user to quickly unlock the interface with but a touch of a finger.

Powered by a non-removable 3,000 mAh Li-Ion battery pack and supporting 4G LTE connectivity, the feature-packed CloudFone Excite Prime 2 Pro represents the local brand's stellar efforts give Filipino consumers great value for money products that deliver an awesome mobile experience in this digital age.
