Plum Axe II Review
(Z402) Score: 47.4 / 100
Plum Axe II is a fair quality phone, packing a very fast Dual-Core processor speeding at 1.3 gigahertz, a medium 4-inches multi touch capacitive screen, and 2 cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front-facing camera.
The Plum Axe II is powered by an extremely powerful 1300 MHz Dual-Core CPU, bundled in the Mediatek MT6572AW chip with only 512 MB of RAM which is a little bit low for such a powerful device. To collaborate with graphic calculations, the Plum Axe II also counts with an ARM Mali-400 graphics processing unit running at 500 megahertz. This phone has a passable 4 GB internal memory, which is adequate for the average user knowing that this phone also has an SD extension slot to store songs, photographs and videos.
This phone is for sale in many color variations like black, blue, red and white. This cellphone is quite slim and practical, although it's not close to being one of the thinnest phones on sale, with a thickness of 0.46". This device is much lighter than what one would think about a cellphone like this.
This phone features two cameras, a 5 megapixels back camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera. This phone also includes a couple of nice features like auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization and geo tagging.
Plum equipped this device with a very good 4" display, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , giving this device a very good image quality. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.
This phone counts with Wi-Fi capability (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ connectivity, that is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and the fastest 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Plum Axe II uses a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.
The Plum Axe II also comes with a couple of nice features like Bluetooth (allows communication with other phones and accessories) and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
The Plum Axe II uses a medium sized 1450 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that provides the Plum Axe II a quite short battery duration. Plum informs a talk time of 5 hs and a stand by time of 200 hours for this phone.
Plum is offering this phone for $ 155, which is high for a phone this level.
