Comio X1: Get the style needed on a low budget
Comio has been on a roll with an aim of outranking well- entrenched market, largely dominated by Chinese players. The company recently launched its latest smartphone called Comio X1.
The smartphone flaunts a beautiful red rear panel and impresses with its compact form factor and an almost bezel- less screen. The X1 sports a plastic chassis and the rear panel adorns a smooth matte finish. The device employs a 5.5- inch HD+ Full View IPS 18: 9 display, which is pretty sharp and renders vivid colours.
The X1 runs on a quadcore MediaTek MT6739 chipset accompanied by just 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, expandable up to 128GB. It is an average performer for everyday tasks and can be used as a basic daily driver for most. The handset comes with a rear- mounted fingerprint scanner, and Infinix has also equipped it with face unlock feature too, which is impressive for an entry- level smartphone. The Comio X1 ships with Android 8.1 Oreo and the stock- like Android UI also adds to the experience.
As for the imaging duties, the device incorporates a 13MP primary sensor with an f/ 2.0 aperture lens. There’s also autofocus and a single LED flash for night shots. Comio touts the AI solutions integrated into the camera app with Bokeh mode, Face Cute mode and a few more. In broad daylight, the phone takes some good shots that come out with enough details and reasonably vibrant colours. However, it lacks adequate sharpness. As for low- light images, it turned out pretty dismal as some amount of noise, softness and a significant discolouring is noticeable. Apart from that, the smartphone uses an 8MP camera with a flash and an f/ 2.2 aperture for selfies. The Comio X1 is powered by a 3050mAh battery, which can easily last a day with an average usage.
To sum it up, the Comio X1 is a good option for anyone looking for a basic smartphone at an entrylevel price. Masking the relatively slower interface, the device offers a good battery life, a stylish body, a tall display, AI capability, average cameras and basic performance for ` 7,499.
