During these days, we have been telling you more about European mobiles and other larger supports manufactured by firms from the Old continent that, despite having a lower visibility than their Asian and to a lesser extent American rivals, they aspire to gain a more significant presence in a consumer electronics sector in which hundreds of companies play.
Among those companies with a somewhat more prominent role in the region, we highlighted Archos. The French technology company, which in its day focused on affordable media with not very cutting-edge features in both smartphone and tablet support, has been finalizing preparations for its latest device, called Diamond Omega and that it would be aimed at competing against the highest phablets on the market from firms such as Samsung or Huawei. Next, we tell you more about this terminal.
Integrated
Here we highlight the great ratio between screen and body, which will approach the 85%. Its developers have decided to completely dispense with the side edges by increasing the size of the diagonal. The fingerprint reader it will be incorporated in the back and possibly, due to the small size of the lower and upper stripes, we would not find physical buttons on the front either. Its dimensions will be 14,7 × 7,2 centimeters and its weight, within the average, will be 170 grams.
Are European mobiles ready for the high-end?
Now we go on to briefly review the benefits of the Diamond Omega in image and performance: 5,73 inches with a resolution of 2040 × 1080 pixels. The glass is reinforced with Corning Gorilla Glass and 2,5 D. In this field also stand out the cameras: Two rear 23 and 12 Mpx and two front of 5 that in all cases, allow you to record videos in format 4K. As we mentioned on other occasions, high visual characteristics require fast memory and processors. In this case, the RAM is 8 GB, the base storage capacity is 128 GB although it cannot be expanded by Micro SD cards.
Finally, its processor stands out, a Snapdragon 835 that reaches peaks of 2,45 GHz. The operating system is Nubia 5.0, based on Nougat. The latter has generated voices that assure that this model is a version adapted to the Old Continent of a Chinese technology terminal.
Availability and price
On the company's website they have opened a prior reservation period for the Diamond Omega. It will go on sale at end of november, specifically, around the 20th, just at the beginning of the big consumer campaigns. Will be available for $499. It is very striking that part of the amount of this model goes to environmental policies. Do you think terminals like this are an example of how far European mobiles can go? We leave you available related information such as, for example, a list with the Android terminals higher today so you can learn more about the rivals he will have to face.
