Plum Pilot Plus Review
Score: 52.1 / 100
Plum Pilot Plus is a decent phone, including an enormous 5.5-inches touch-screen, a very powerful 1300 megahertz Quad-Core CPU, and two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera.
This cellphone is offerred in two color options, black and white. This cellphone is very thin and stilized, being just 0.33" thick. This cellphone is quite a compact cellphone, given that it packs a 5.5 inches display and it is only 5.81 inches long. Plum did a very good optimization job making the Plum Pilot Plus weight just 5.04 oz.
Plum packed this cellphone with a good 5.5-inches screen, and a resolution of 960 x 540 , which makes everything look quite good. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
This phone is equipped with a MediaTek MT6582M system chip, which holds a great Quad-Core CPU clocking at 1300 megahertz with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a bit low for a cellphone of this level. Graphic calculations usually uses lots of CPU cycles, so this phone has an additional 416 megahertz ARM Mali-400 MP2 graphics processing unit to unload the CPU. This phone has an 8 GB quite big internal storage memory and an SD extension slot, which allows you to install a couple hundred games and applications without any trouble.
The Plum Pilot Plus features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 2 mega-pixels front side camera. It is also able to capture videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. This camera also counts with lots of cool characteristics: flash, auto-focus, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.
This device offers WiFi connectivity (which it can share with other devices as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ 4G connectivity, which is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and 3G fast internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses two SIM cards so it is able to use two different phone lines at the same time.
This phone also includes a couple of cool features like Bluetooth (4.0), GPS Geolocation and FM Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This cellphone uses an incredible 2200 mAh Li-Ion battery, which isn't too much for a cellphone like this. This cellphone has an estimated talk time of 20 hours and a stand by time of 900 hours according to Plum.
Plum is offering this cellphone for $ 249, which is expensive for this kind of phone.
