Ramos Mos1 flagship unveiled: Chinese tablet maker Ramos enters the phone market with a bang

Ramos is one of the most popular tablet makers in China, but it’s a name that’s foreign in the West. While the company is not planning any move to America or Europe, it has just unveiled its first smartphone - the Ramos Mos1, and it’s a very interesting piece of technology to explore.

Chinese phone makers are quickly taking over the globe with seven out of the top ten phone makers in the world now from China, and one of the reasons for this expansion is the incredible price of these handset.

The Ramos Mos1 is no exception - it’s an affordable phone with some serious software guts and great aluminum design.

Impressive design and craftsmanship

An interesting twist on the phone market, Ramos started its presentation by stating the fact that these days we have phones with flat edges (like the iPhone 5/5s family, for instance), and phones with rounded sides (like the new iPhone 6 series), but no in-between choice. This is where Ramos Mos1 phone fits in - offering a middle-ground experience with a unique layered side, which is the result of careful surveys and more than 600 individual tests showing the ideal 158-degree angle curve. The body is precisely made with CNC machines down to 0.01mm accuracy, and it uses 6063 series aluminum, a tough alloy with 0.4% to 0.5% of Silicon and 0.7%-0.9% Magnesium. Ramos is also taking attention to detail to the next level - the company surveyed users about the height/elevation of the buttons and found that the sweet spot stands at 0.3mm. It designed the new phone with such buttons.
