Rubbish! Worst brand of phone I have held all my life. A friend got and on the first day of use, the screen went auto pressing itself with ease. Worse than China phones sef. I didn't even know it was a Nigerian brand before I hated it.


I am not spoiling Nigerian products but if we can't make good standards then let's not bother.




Shame!

Modified: It is not owned be a Nigerian. Whoever makes them makes junks.

.... The "obi" phone isn't a "china" phone per say, its actually a silicone valley smartphone manufacturer founded in 2014 by former Apple Inc. and PepsiCo CEO John Sculley. Obi Worldphone manufactures smartphones aimed at the emerging markets rather than very competitive developed markets. They have been in the Indian market since april 2014 and as we all know India is a leader in I.T (Information Technology), Obi Worldphone launched two of their pioneer low cost smartphones on August 27, 2015. These models used
Android as their operating system. The company aims to focus on mid-range smartphones and says it will introduce
affordable smartphones with superior technology. Obi Mobiles also plans to take the brand to markets in Asia
Pacific, Middle East and Latin America after the Indian market.

And you have to quote the whole post?

Yes I quoted it to draw op's attention especially because I didn't see those features that would make me switch from my existing brand to theirs. That's the essence of the launch, telling customers some things to watch for. Hope you're aware that the phone market is saturated with so many brand providing all most that same specification that customers find it hard to choose. It would be disappointing to see archaic feature or high price above their

bamite:
You be fool for quoting all that

It's only a fool that calls his fellow human being fool. Even in the animal world they wouldn't try such

michaelobinna:
you quoted an entire story just to ask for specifications

"You quoted the WHOLE post to draw OP's attention " ?
.
Even if you had quoted ONLY THE TEXT, you would still draw his attention. Now if you dont understand what i mean. compare what i quoted to what you actually posted. It still drew your attention abi?
.
Learn this... If you open a thread and the OP's is a very long and picture detailed type. And you would like to quote the OP and draw his attention like you claimed, please edit the post in quote to less minimal.

Imagine if your are to answer a question which was typed in lets say 5 foolscap sheets (hope you know how lengthy that is?), and the only answer you have to give is "YES" But in the question instructions, you are asked to write out the question back on your answer sheet before giving your "3 lettered answer" i guess you would say the examiner is dumb abi? Now relate that scenario to what you did.
.
Hope you get? Great Day

I get you now and sorry if I made mistake. The point am trying to drive is that the article only talks about the product launch and it's history, it doesn't explain some of the features attached to the product. Imagine Samsung launching galaxy 8 and doesn't states it's features, would you buy such product? What will convince you to buy it? . When etisalat launched easy life 4.0 unlimited, the stated some of the benefits attached to their package, why is this product different?. The phone market is saturated already and so most customers might be woo by many factors ranging from price, product durablity, after sales service to include innovations.

Take a few moments to read below


John Sculley – former CEO of Pepsi and Apple – has gotten into the Android-phone game. The new company, Obi Worldphone, which aims to offer premium-designed phones to developing markets. Both are dual-SIM and cost between $130 and $250.

The Worldphones will launch in Vietnam, India, Tukey, Pakistan, South Africa, Nigeria, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates (and others) soon.

Obi Worldphone SF1, The higher end of the two phones, it has a 5" IPS screen with 1080p resolution. A "signature floating glass display" gives the front a distinct look (it's Gorilla Glass 4, by the way).

The Obi Worldphone SF1 runs Android 5.0.2 customized with the Obi Lifespeed user interface. The software is powered by a Snapdragon 615 chipset with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. That's the $200 version, for $250 you can have 3GB RAM and 32GB storage (both have microSD slots).

The phone boasts fast Cat. 4 LTE connectivity (it takes one micro and one nanoSIM), along with dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n (2x2), Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS.


Obi Worldphone SF1

The 13MP camera (Sony IMX214) with an f/2.0 aperture shoots 1080p video and offers OptiZoom multi-frame super-resolution. There's a 5MP selfie camera with its own too.

The unibody features metallic accents and measures 146 x 74 x 8mm and weighs 147g, it has a generous 3,000mAh battery. By the way, SF stands for San Francisco.
Obi Worldphone SJ1.5

Despite the higher number, this is the more affordable of the two. The Obi Worldphone SJ1.5 is priced at $130 and also comes with a 5" IPS screen and dual-SIM connectivity.

The screen has 720p resolution though, while mobile data is capped at 3G (both card slots are microSIMs). That's backed by Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS.

You don't get a 32GB version, but the microSD slot should be enough. The SJ1.5 is also more modest when it comes to computing power – a MediaTek chipset with a quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM. It runs a newer version of Android though, v5.1.


Obi Worldphone SJ1.5

The camera is an 8MP shooter (OmniVision sensor) with f/2.2 aperture. The selfie camera is the same 5MP shooter too.

The Obi Worldphone SJ1.5 (San Jose) features a Magnesium-Titanium alloy chassis covered in polycarbonate. The whole thing measures 146 x 73 x 8mm and weighs 131g. Like the SF1 it has a 3,000mAh battery.


Yet kids still call it a china phone

They are just splitting blunders here and there. I once watched a YouTube video when the CEO was interviewed about the phone. That was last year though. Though the phone uses mediatek for price friendly device and other chipset for the prenuim ones. That doesn't mean it is a chinko phone.


Some Xperia phones, HTC and Nokia phones are mediatek. Why don't you guys call it chinko?

Ada will soon come out. I believe a Chinese will be the founder.

This mobile has been my daily driver for 2 months now. its Qualcomm not Mediatek processor. And honestly i don't miss my M8 aside from blinkfeed.

This device is a beast. its buttery smooth than most devices ive used and really isnt made as a cheap phone, its premium built and has got great battery life, Corning Gorilla glass 4 screen, super Sony Exynos camera 16MP Back 5MP with flash Front , gyro, compass, acclerometer, great WIFI reception, best audio enhancements so far, use it with original headphones and forget your ipod for life, ambient light sensor, great inbuilt speakers, even the always on feature LG G5 is using to make a glorified ad is already here on Obi SF1, it screen light up only required pixels to display messages on top of lock screen, its a beauty and handles all games and apps ive punched to it. Multitasks is a breeze, and am always having 1.6GB ram always available to run apps from the 3GB ram variant am using. i have loaded over 200 intensive apps and it handles all perfectly OKAY!!! never had any regret getting this. Cant wait to get marshmallow on this.

*Note!! Power users like me, sorry guys, no rooting. this device is for now UNROOTABLE!!!
your Android warranty is safe. Its secured lol, no access to bootloader. John sculley gave apple type security to Android boot-up lol.

If this is launched in Nigeria and its within your budget, get it.

Wait .. Is this a phone or a kind of designer cloth
