The Innjoo One is a smartphone that will blow you away. At the end of this overview you will realize how.
Innjoo is among the first company to prioritize design in their budget smartphones and this gives buyers an extra reason to purchase their products other than the affordable price tag.
Here is what the Innjoo One has to offer.
Innjoo One Technical Specifications
Display
Display Size: 5.0 inches
Display Type: IPS LCD
Screen Resolution: 720 x 1280 HD
Screen Resolution Density: 294 ppi
Screen Protection: Dragontrail™ X Glass
You get a 5.0 inches IPS LCD display with a 720 x 1280 Pixel resolution. A 720p resolution means that the Innjoo is one of the few smartphones that offers an HD viewing experience for a price under Ksh. 15,000.
The Innjoo One has a screen resolution density of 294 ppi, a figure that is now the standard for budget smartphones.
Innjoo decided to look east (Japan) for the screen protection for the One. Instead of the Corning Gorilla Glass that is very common in premium smartphones, the Innjoo one uses Dragontrail™ X Glass.
Asahi Glass (Japanese Manufacturer) describes the Dragontrail™ X Glass as a “superior substitute to conventional cover material.” The use of the technology on the Innjoo One was possibly to keep the product costs low.
Other Smartphones that use Dragontrail™ X Glass include Sony Xperia Z3 and Galaxy Nexus.
Design
Frame Dimensions: 142.7 x 70.2 x 6.9 mm
Weight: 123g
Design was clearly of great priority during the design of the Innjoo One. Designing a budget smartphone is a complex affair and often vendors struggle to strike the balance between design and keeping the product costs low.
Innjoo was, however, able to accomplish this effortlessly. The Injoo Note has an Aluminum Alloy frame and a very slim profile of just 6.9 mm (exactly like the iPhone 6)
The all-metal design concept of the Innjoo One embarrasses its polycarbonate rivals such as the Microsoft Lumia 535.
Performance
Operating System: Android 4.4.2 KitKat
CPU: MT6592M 1.4GHz Octa-core
RAM: 2 GB
Internal Memory: 16GB
Micro SD: Yes, up to 64 GB
A 1.4GHz Octa-core CPU powers the Innjoo One. A quad core CPU is kind of a big deal considering that most devices in its category sport quad core CPUs.
You have 2GB RAM on the One (just like the Samsung Galaxy S5). 2 GB RAM is still a premium feature and seeing it there was surprising.
The Injoo One runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box.
Other than that, you get 16GB internal storage and a memory card slot that can support up to a 64 GB Micro SD card.
Camera
Rear Camera: 13 MP
Secondary Camera: 5.0 MP
LED Flash: Yes
Innjoo gives you a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP selfie camera for your selfies. Currently, no budget smartphone comes close to offering such a camera profile, except for the InnJoo Note.
Battery and Extras
Battery: Li-Po 2600mAh
A Li-Po 2600mAh battery (slightly bigger than that of the Samsung Galaxy S6) powers the Innjoo One.
Extras
LTE Variant
Dual SIM
Verdict
You probably have heard about Xiaomi and One Plus. Xiaomi uses a strategy where it sells its product at razor-thin profit margins in order to offer the best products at the most competitive price.
Using that strategy Xiaomi was able to dethrone Samsung from the Chinese market. Innjoo seems to have embraced a similar tactic and the One is evidence enough.
The Innjoo one flawlessly strikes the elusive balance between Price and Features. The Injoo one is simply ‘The One’
Be awesome and rate the Innjoo one.
