Plum Sync 5.0 Review
Score: 48 / 100
Plum Sync 5.0 is a decent quality Android cellphone, with a powerful Dual-Core processing unit clocking at 1200 megahertz, a comfortable 5" capacitive touch-screen, and 2 cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 1.3 MP front side camera.
This cellphone feels much lighter than what one would think about a phone this size. Though the Plum Sync 5.0 just has 5.73" long, it's able to fit a a 5 inches display. The Plum Sync 5.0 is incredibly thin, being just 0.38" thick. This cellphone is sold in many different colors like black, pink, blue and white.
This phone includes an average 854 x 480 5" display, making everything look quite colorful and brightful. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
Plum decided to power this cellphone with a MediaTek MT6572M chip, including a powerful 1.2 GHz Dual-Core processor and 512 MB of RAM. To handle graphic rendering, it also uses a 500 megahertz ARM Mali-400 graphics processing unit. This cellphone comes with a 4 GB internal memory, a medium quantity that should be enough having that it also has a slot for external memory cards .
This cellphone features two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.3 megapixels front camera. It also shoots videos in 1280x720 (HD) at 30 frames per second. Additionally, the camera features many interesting characteristics: flash, face detection shooting, auto-focus, smile detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.
This phone offers wi-fi connection (and it can share it with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and 3G internet connection, over EDGE technologies. This cellphone comes with two SIM cards to be able to to use 2 different phone lines at the same time.
The Plum Sync 5.0 also comes with some interesting characteristics as Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories), GPS and Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This phone packs a 1900 mAh medium sized Li-Ion battery providing this cellphone with a below average battery life. Plum reports a stand by time of 860 hs and a talk time of 18 hours for this device.
The Plum Sync 5.0 is priced about $ 249, which is not cheap for a phone this level.
