Plum Coach Plus II Review

Score: 50.8 / 100

Plum Coach Plus II is a fair quality phone, equipped with a very powerful 1.3 gigahertz Quad-Core processor, an enormous 6-inches capacitive touch-screen, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front side camera.

Plum decided to equip this phone using a high performance Quad-Core processing unit running at 1.3 GHz, included in the MediaTek MT6582M chip with only 512 MB RAM which is a little bit poor for such a great phone. Graphic rendering usually consume a lot of processing time, so the Plum Coach Plus II uses a 416 megahertz ARM Mali-400 MP2 GPU to help the processor with those tasks. This cellphone counts with a medium 4 GB internal memory, which is adequate for the average user considering the Plum Coach Plus II also has a slot for an SD memory card .

This cellphone is for sale in 2 colors, black and white. This phone has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.39". This device is a compact cellphone, given that it presents a 6 inches display and it only has 6.21" long and 2.91 inches wide. The Plum Coach Plus II is much lighter than what you would expect from a cellphone this size.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front-facing camera. It is also able to shoot Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 frames per second. This cellphone also has a lot of interesting features: flash, auto-focus, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.

Plum equipped this phone with a nice 6 inches display, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes all photos and movies look very nice. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

The Plum Coach Plus II packs a 2400 mAh big Li-Ion battery that can keep it running for several hours without charging it at all. This phone has an aproximate 16 hs talk time and a 780 hours stand by time.

The Plum Coach Plus II has wifi capability (which can be provided to other devices acting as a wireless modem or router), 4G (HSPA+) connectivity, that is not so fast as LTE-A or LTE networks and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone has dual sim cards so it is able to work with two different phone numbers and even different carriers at the same time.

The Plum Coach Plus II also features a handful of cool features such as Bluetooth (provides communication with other phones, computers and accessories), GPS and FM Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Plum Coach Plus II is being sold for $ 249, which is not cheap for this type of phone.
