Arc Mobile's latest release should serve as warning that it is a serious contender in the local smartphone race. The Arc Mobile Memo is a 5.3-inch phablet which is priced at Php6,299. The specifications are pretty impressive for the money.
Quick specifications:
- Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean)
- 5.3-inch qHD (540 x 960) display
- 4 GB internal storage expandable via a MicroSD card slot
- 1 GB RAM
- 1.2 GHz quad core MediaTek MT6589 processor
- PowerVR SGX544 graphics
- 8 MP autofocus primary camera with LED Flash
- 2 MP front camera
- HSPA+
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- A-GPS
- 2000 mAh battery (user replaceable)
The Arc Mobile Memo clearly has the Starmobile Diamond V3 in its sights. It has the same screen size as the Diamond V3, at 5.3-inches, but the Memo has a higher resolution qHD (540 x 960) display, versus the V3's FWVGA (480 x 854) display. The Memo also has a more powerful processor being equipped with a MediaTek MT6589 processor, which should be 20-30% more powerful than the Qualcomm MSM8225Q processor on the Diamond V3. The Mediatek chipset on the Memo also has a HSPA+ (21.1 Mbps) radio, as compared to the HSPA (7.2 Mbps) radio on the Diamond V3.
The Arc Mobile Memo also looks like a better deal the the Cherry Mobile Skyfire 2.0 and Thunder 2.0.
