InnJoo ONE smartphone launches in South Africa for R2499

Oh, one thing that puts me off from the Meizu is that it is 5.5". The 5" Innjoo is already pretty large for me. And the Meizu looks rather plasticy compared to the Innjoo. Kay, two things.

Also...I like one handing which a 5" is just about the limit for.

"We even care every millimeter and milligram" and "Equipped with True 8 Core processor by MediaTek, it simply bursts out high performance while consumes little power. With fast speed in every way, you can enjoy the 5.0-inch smartphone efficiently"'.

LOL. I cant believe they designed and produced a rather nice looking phone and shows it off on a snazzy looking website, but cant speak or hire somebody who can write proper english.

InnJoo One: Reasons why you should NEVER buy this phone

Just recently, we got the information that Dubai-based phone vendor, InnJoo, has unveiled a brand new device which they call the InnJoo One — or InnJoo One 3G HD and InnJoo One 4G when talking about the two variants. Even though both devices are practically the same (save for the slightly different processors), we’d like precisely to talk about the InnJoo One 3G HD, the model which will be available in the Nigerian market.

InnJoo One review Call this review biased or not, this article was written from the point of view that you should NEVER buy this phone, especially when you are living in Nigeria. So, let’s give you a rundown of 5 reasons why should not buy the InnJoo One:

Cheap looking

Despite costing higher than its supposed rivals in the mid range section, the InnJoo One looks like a substandard Chinese clone in real life (that’s exactly what it is actually). Forget the doctored and filtered pictures you see on the Web, we heard units of the phones were given out to bloggers in return for nice worded reviews and we managed to get a copy from one of these bloggers to see what the fuss was all about.

Press shot vs meh..
Press shot vs meh..

Heck, the device looks nothing like what’s on print. In fact, I suspect that by the time wear and tear starts to tell on this phone, you will probably not like to imagine what will happen. Furthermore, the absence of a visible home button but very large bezel at the bottom of the screen makes the phone look like an unfinished product.

Laggy

InnJoo One uses a new OS, or rather, a user interface based on a forked Android 4.4.2 KitKat ROM, developed by InnJoo of course. They call it the InnOS and the UI lags as the F word. Though part of the UI looks neat and pretty smart, the user experience was pretty much cloggy and the last time it wasted such time to launch apps was when I, out of flair for tech, curiosity got a TV phone — those gigantic Chinko phones with antenna for “live TV”. What I did to the TV phone afterwards I can’t remember but the experience didn’t last up to an hour. Also, the presence of too much bloatware on the pre-loaded app list made up for some of the unsteady user experience the phone offers.

Rip off, yet too costly

If you’ve read about the InnJoo One before now, you ought to have known that Jumia and InnJoo copied the Infinix Zero — a nice, inexpensive smartphone — to produce their One. But then, despite looking less premium and packing similar/less superior specs to the Infinix handset, the InnJoo One costs a whooping ₦27,999, that’s 4,000 naira (roughly $20) north of the Zero.

When it's too good to be true......

When it's too good to be true......

I think you need to consider the quality of the source - have a watch of this video released by the same website as the article above and factor that into your view of the article.

tl;dw - he reviews the wrong phone...besides doing a very poor job of reviewing the phone he actually has.

Anyway, think I'm going to take the plunge...will let you guys know how it goes once I have the phone. Selling on my Huawei to a person at work so the Innjoo will cost me R1500.00 - worth a splurge, I hope

Dont be too impressed. "tech" girl got her specs wrong. She mentions that the phone has an advanced Lte processor but Takealot only sells the 3g model.

Tech girl is no Erica Griffin, that is for sure.
