Spice Mobile Smart Flo 358 Review
(Mi-358) Score: 44.3 / 100Spice Mobile Smart Flo 358 is a fair quality Android cellphone, including a medium 3.5-inches display, a very powerful 1300 megahertz Dual-Core CPU, and 2 cameras, a 2 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.3 MP front facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this phone's wonders when we get into specific details.
This cellphone is sold in 2 different color options, gray and white. It appears that Spice Mobile forgot about weight optimization in this 4.59 oz phone. This cellphone is thin, though it's not close to being one of the thinnest cellphones nowadays, with a thickness of 0.43".
This cellphone has a interesting 480 x 320 3.5 inches screen, giving this cellphone a nice graphic quality. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.
Spice Mobile decided to sell this phone with a Mediatek MT6571 system chip, holding an extremely powerful 1.3 gigahertz Dual-Core processor and only 256 MB RAM which is a bit disappointing for a cellphone of this quality. Graphic intensive applications and games often eats a lot of processing power, so it counts with a 500 megahertz ARM Mali-400 graphic processing unit to help with that calculations. This device counts with a poor 524,29 MB internal storage memory, which may be adequate for some users knowing that this cellphone also has an external SD slot to store photos and videos.
This phone is equipped with two cameras, a 2 MP back-facing camera and a 1.3 MP front camera. This phone also shoots 1280x720 HD videos at 25 fps. This camera also includes flash.
The Spice Mobile Smart Flo 358 has Wi-Fi connectivity (which can be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and 3G data connection, over EDGE technologies. This phone supports dual SIM cards so it can to use 2 different phone numbers or carriers at the same time.
The Spice Mobile Smart Flo 358 also comes with a couple of cool characteristics such as Bluetooth (provides communication with other phones and accessories), GPS and FM Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This cellphone counts with a 1450 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion battery providing the Spice Mobile Smart Flo 358 with a poor battery life. This phone has an estimated stand by time of 300 hs and a talk time of 6.5 hs according to Spice Mobile.
