[Smartphones] | A phone with a projector! | The Moviphone
Dope? or Nope? |
Plenty of amazing things were showcased at CES, as every
year. Synaptics with their fingerprint sensor under the display, Sony with
their three new flagships, Razer with their Project Linda, and more. But among
these multi-million dollar players of the mobile world, there was one phone
which was designed for an incredibly narrow set of consumers. It is called as
the MoviPhone (pronounced 'moo-vee-phone').
Projector phone! |
Spec wise, the moviphone is strictly low-end to
mid-range.
- Powered by a Mediatek MT6750V (32-bit) at 4x1.5 GHz + 4x1 GHz).
- Mali T860 MP2 GPU
- 3 GB/32 GB or 4 GB/64 GB memory combination
- A massive 4000 mAh battery
- 13+8 mp cameras with LED flash on both sides
- A 5.5 inch 720p IPS display panel.
Like I said before, by no means s this phone trying to be a
flagship. Although they say a lot of great things about it on their website,
boasting about how the new Mediatek Image signal processor provides “DSLR like”
photos and what not. I just ‘LOL’ed at that and kept scrolling. So should you!
But the main feature of this phone is the projector unit on
top. It has the same 50 lumens
brightness as Motorola’s offering with the Mod. It works on lasers and the
phone gives an estimated battery of about 4 hrs on projector mode.
Like any common projector, you can cast any content on your
phone on to the wall or any other surface with the projector up top. The projected
window can range from 12 to 200 inches diagonally. There is another version of
this phone that uses DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology for projection.
It essentially uses tiny mirrors for light projection. We will see that one in
Q2 of 2018!
Not for everyone! |
In all honesty, this phone is not going to win the CES
innovation awards, or the peoples’ choice awards anytime soon. But it
definitely is a cool option for anyone who is considering a backup device (of
sorts), or maybe a media hub which also has communication features of a phone
and other benefits of Android N.
A collector's item? |
A completely unlocked 128 GB Moviphone will run you 599 USD.
That is a crazy price for the specs. But like I said before, this is a phone
meant for a VERY short line of consumers, who appreciate the phone for its
singularity and uniqueness, rather than the sheer value for money which most of
us care about. To them, it makes all the sense in the world to give the
Moviphone a shot!
Slightly expensive |
