Archos intros two Graphite series smartphones with dual-lens cameras that cost less than $150
Archos 50 Graphite & 55 Graphite
Yesterday, we reported about the Archos 101 Saphir, an Android Nougat-based rugged tablet that will be launched on the market sometime in June.
What makes these budget-friendly smartphones impressive is the fact that Archos added a couple of features that handset makers usually save for high-end devices.
For example, both phones come with dual-lens cameras, comprising of 13MP with autofocus and LED flash and 2MP modules, which should produce sharper images with more details as well as ultra-wide angle and shallow depth field (also, known as Bokeh effect).
Also, Archos 50 Graphite and 55 Graphite come with rear-mounted fingerprint sensors, which are said to unlock the phones in less than 0.3 seconds. They allow users to save up to five different fingerprints.
When it comes to hardware, they are less impressive. The Graphite duo comes equipped with 1.5GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6737 processors and 16GB of internal memory (expandable up to 128GB via microSD card).
Since the 55 Graphite has a larger display, it makes sense to be powered by a bigger 3,000 mAh battery. Its smaller brother drains energy from a 2,400 mAh battery instead.
