IMO S89

What reportedly ya? This time  BukaKotak  again get a chance to review  one of the smartphones that included  "Most Wanted Item" in the digital forums in Indonesia today, BukaKotak also had trouble to look for it.  Smartphone  is IMO S89 aka Miracle. How does an impression of a smart phone made ​​by vendors who came from the Bamboo Curtain country? Let's peel slowly.

BukaKotak

When you first get the unit IMO S89,  BukaKotak  not find something special and privileged in box packaging IMO S89. Even tend to disappoint. Where the packaging- it wrapped with a thin cardboard box made ​​from a lack of good quality, as well as the appearance of the box  packaging  that seem "crowded" and tacky . Too many colors that make viewing a "crowded" and not elegant at all.

After the mem-BukaKotak-her, so the first time my friend will see is a unit IMO S89 smart phone neatly wrapped in plastic made ​​from doff . Obtained the package in the box IMO S89 consists of:

• S89 Smartphone unit IMO.
• Head wall charger
• Data cables as well as cable charger.
• Earphone type of IEM.
• Manual, warranty card etc..

IMO S89 phone itself is available in two colors, Black and White. Used by BukaKotak  is Black colored unit. Interestingly, in the package of this phone,earphones obtained white IMO S89 though his own unit is black. While Head Wall Charger and USB cable remains black.

Brief Specs

When Buddy  BukaKotak hear brand IMO, probably on your mind buddy BukaKotak  is a cheap mobile phone Chinese brand, or better known as "Pocin" which has quality below average. But this does not seem to apply to the S89 IMO. IMO boldly arming S89 with specifications that do not play games. Little about the "hood" that is embedded in the Miracle:

• CPU: MTK mt6589.
• Core (s): 4.
• Clock Speed: @ 1.21GHz.
• Architecture: ARM Cortex A7.
• GPU: PowerVR SGX 544MP.
• RAM: 1GB.

A high specification given prices are set by the IMO to bring this smart phone is only in the range of Rp. 2.000.000, -.

The Miracle is also embedded 4GB ROM, with partitions:

• To install applications at 1.48GB.
• For storage media of 1.29GB.
• The rest of the system.

And of course Buddy  BukaKotak  given the option to add storage capacity using a micro SD ( up to 32GB).

Design

When first holding the S89 IMO,  BukaKotak  amazed. This is because the Android-based phones have a  Build Quality  is good and it did not disappoint.Wrapped by  the back cover is  made ​​of matte black, adorned by a silver metal trim accents on the sides and on the front side of the phone the entire surface covered by the glass without any other ornament except for the speaker .Something that according  BukaKotak  an added value of a design. In effect, this phone is a comfortable grip, sturdy, elegant impression and not easily slip when held. Only one that bothered to  BukaKotak , the IMO logo on the back cover, less attractive and less gives the impression of luxury. Maybe it would be better if the IMO logo design on backcover sweetened or eliminated altogether. For the overall design  BukaKotak  give a plus for the S89 IMO.

In detail, the composition of components laying on S89 IMO is also fairly good.On the side of the screen there is a speaker who is decorated with metal accents, the upper right corner of the front side there is a front camera with a maximum resolution 5MPx, in front of the camera next to this there is also a sensor proximity and light. And the bottom of the screen are softkey Home, Menu and Back. Turning to the upside, there is a charger port , power button made ​​of metal like trim on the side and port jack to 3.5mm earphone . The left side and bottom of the phone is clean of metal trim in addition to knick knacks.Button + volume - placed on the right side of the phone with the use of the same material as metal trim body . On the back of the phone, there is only the main camera with a maximum resolution 12mpx (ratio 4:3) and 6mpx (ratio 16:9) and IMO logo on the bottom side of the back cover .

User Interface (UI)

Smart phones have made ​​this IMO using Jelly Bean Android 4.2.1 using Vanilla Android User Interface. That means the phone is not experienced by the vendor to customize the UI part. Display Plain Vanilla Android is according  BukaKotak is  quite beautiful, minimalist and effective. But of course if Buddy BukaKotak  want a different look, buddy  BukaKotak  can download other PlayStore Launcher.

• Lockscreen

• Homescreen & Notification

• Drawer Apps & Widgets

• Setting Menu

UI is presented on the screen with a diagonal span 4.5inci, qHD (960 × 540) resolution 245ppi. Miracle Plus screen is armed by IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen. IMO S89 certainly display screen can spoil buddy  BukaKotak not?

Main Features

DUAL SIM

Features that are seeded by this phone is its Dual SIM feature. Which of the two available SIM slots can only be filled by the GSM SIM (SIM mini or normal sized SIM). The ability to access data on the phone support
HSPA + and GSM EDGEHSDPA + on the second slot his sim card in turn, depends pal BukaKotakwant to choose slots sim which will be used as data. In the standard ROM this phone we can choose which card will be used as the default Voice Call, Messaging and Data Connection. A mobile phone with four brains inti@1.21gHz and has Dual SIM capability? Not good enough. So we do not need to carry two phones at once.

Performance

With the use of the "hood" as it has been little discussed in bagias Brief specifications above, MTK mt6589 QuadCore@1.21GHz certainly should have performance processing highly qualified. Coupled with a PowerVR SGX 544MP ante on graphics, a good performance we expect certainly together. And this has been proven by the IMO S89, for use by  BukaKotak ,  found no significant gap for the transition, processing and image processing applications though.Coupled with 1GB of RAM embedded, making IMO S89 is able to handle manytasks at once without a hitch.  BukaKotak  appreciation on this smart phone.

With this ability, of course, Buddy  BukaKotak  questioned battery problem on the S89 IMO. With a battery capacity of 2050mAh, is it enough??? With the use of very light (only put 2 to 4 GMail accounts to mailing list traffic is high), browsing, using the camera and tried it on this phone, without chat , social media and gaming , this phone can last the duration of which is quite surprising.

At the present time, the GPS function also plays a vital role. Where most of us facilitated in exploring new areas or to find a place with the help of GPS. So what about the performance of GPS on S89 IMO this? Many issues saying that it lacked Processor MTK GPS signal capture. And it proved.

Of the 11 satellites are available, the phone is just catching / using 5 (on average) satellite. GPS signal capture time was fairly slow. Since the opening of the GPS Test app, take time 00:01:48 or nearly two minutes. Average SNR obtained by this phone is 20-30. It's better than the previous series MTK processor, but still not good according to  BukaKotak .

Testing conditions in the 2nd floor room with a window and puntu terbua width.So that the performance of GPS on mobile nicknamed Miracle is somewhat less satisfactory.

Camera

In this sector,  BukaKotak  also appreciate the smart phone is nicknamed Miracle. The maximum resolution is embedded in this mobile phone is 12mpx (ratio 4:3) and 6mpx (ratio 16:9). While the general exposure to the camera specs on this phone include a maximum resolution 8MPx.

Many are saying that the resolution is not a major factor in a camera. Factor of the sensor, lens and image processing some of the most influential in the camera, in addition to the photographer.  BukaKotak  can not find detailed specs on the sensor, lens and image processing on the phone, so  BukaKotak only based on the results obtained by the image  BukaKotak  use cameras (the default camera app) on this phone. The result? Buddy can  BukaKotak see for yourself at some examples of IMO S89 camera below. According BukaKotak , IMO S89 camera result is quite satisfactory. The resulting images sharp and clean.

Options and additional features on the camera smart phone is also quite a lot.Start of HDR, Best Shoot, Panorama, Beauty Face, etc. Multi Shoot. So buddy BukaKotak  can create more on this camera.

Miracle IMO camera capability can also be used to perform  video recording. Results obtained are:

• Resolution: 1280 × 720 (HD 720p)
• Data rate: 9309kbps
• Total bitrate: 9443kbps
• Frame rate: 29fps

With audio capture on the video:

• Bit rate: 133kbps
• Channels: 2 (stereo)
• Audio sample rate: 16kHz

Video recorded by  BukaKotak  has a duration of 0:00:14 (14 seconds), 3gp format (so remember earlier times when the camera is still not good. Bandung Membara Video:-D). Video with a duration of 14 seconds is consuming storageat 15.7MB.

The above is just a number which not everyone can understand. So it looks like the tape assessed by direct eye sight is also a reference  BukaKotak .According  BukaKotak , Video produced quite sharp (indoor conditions with ample lighting). The video image was clear. However, video recorded by BukaKotak  still a lot of videos that do not use the fast movement, so BukaKotak  still do not know how the performance of the maximum fps camera. But, overall,  BukaKotak  remain satisfied with the results given by this phone.

Satisfactory results for a mobile phone worth 2 million-an is often regarded as a poor-quality phones.

Multimedia

SOUND / AUDIO

Output sound / audio on this phone is quite good, where the sound produced by the speakers sounded soft and clear. If Buddy  BukaKotak  want to use theearphone , it is recommended to use another favorite earphones buddyBukaKotak,  because earphones default on this phone is not satisfactory even considered good enough.

Default music player equalizer that even this phone offers quite diverse, and coupled with the 3D effect options, Bass Boost and Reverb Presets. If Buddy BukaKotak  still not satisfied with the default audio output built-in music player of this phone, buddy  BukaKotak  can download music player A Friendof PlayStore.

VIDEO

With embedded MTK mt6589 + PowerVR SGX 544MP certainly play a video is not a constraint for this phone. Default video player on this phone already supports MP4/H.264/H.263/WMV formats and has support FullHD video quality (1080p). It has  BukaKotak  proved directly with FullHD video playback MP4, and the video played fine without lag / lag .

An additional feature is also pinned on this phone to support creativity Buddy BukaKotak  in air-ria video. Movie Studio is an application, an application that allows Buddy  BukaKotak  to do editing on the video light. :)

Still not satisfied with diagonal screen 4.5inci? Relax, buddy  BukaKotak  can use an other nice features on this phone, the Wireless Display. :)
