SKK Neo - Cheapest Jelly Bean Android phone (but there is catch)


Apparently, this phone has been in the market a month now. It slipped through my radar. The SKK Neo is the cheapest Android Jelly Bean phone, priced at Php1,999. For that price it actually has a decent set of specifications, but there is one that worries me a bit.

The SKK Neo is listed to have just 256 MB of RAM, and 256 MB of internal storage. I have never used Android 4.2 on a phone with just 256 MB or RAM or tried to flash it on a phone with just 256 MB of internal storage. If any of you have this phone, I would love to get some feedback.

Quick specifications:
  • Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean)
  • 3.5-inch HVGA (320 x 480) display
  • 256 MB internal storage, expandable via a MicroSD card
  • 256 MB RAM
  • MediaTek MT6572M chipset
  • 1 GHz dual core processor
  • Mali 400 graphics
  • 1.3 MP autofocus primary camera 
  • 5 MP front camera
  • HSPA+
  • WiFi
  • Bluetooth
  • A-GPS
  • 1100 mAh battery (user replaceable)

    1. nag pipiplay ba yung youtube sa cel na to

      Delete
    2. yes it can play youtube, you can log in to facebook,twitter,viber,gmail...these items/icons are already available in SKK the moment you buy it.
      it can even log in to Yahoo messenger, just download it thru google-play.
      The games are ok too.it runs well even with Candy crush hindi naman nagfefreeze o stall,in fact if you have an sd-card you can even play hd games...but in general you can play non-hd games kahit walang sd card kasi malaki naman ang internal capacity nya.
      In fairness with SKK the resolution is ok and fair..hindi naman pangit nakatulad ng sinasabi ng ibang nag post ng comment.

    1. Install Mo Muna Ang Mga Apps Na Under Ng Google Like Youtube At Pag Na Install Mo Na Yun Di Sya Agad Mag o-open dahil kailangan muna ng Google Play Services pag In-open Mo na Yung Youtube Kusa Na Mag I-install Ung Google Play Services kasi kahit i-search mo pa sya sa playstore di yun lalabas kasi private at official lang sa google apps
