A few weeks ago we were talking about Mix 2, one of the last phablets from China Vernee that bet on design and offering a large but light terminal at the same time. However, the technology company has recently been working on another device that would enter fully into the field of rugged mobiles and with which the firm would try to join some that have broken some of the clichés of this type of model.
Currently, one of the characteristics that prevent the most resistant media from reaching the general public is not so much their price, but their rough finishes that result in heavy and visually unattractive smartphones. Today we are going to talk to you about Active, what is new about the Asian company, and we will see more about its possible strengths and weaknesses.
Integrated
The most outstanding thing in this area is obtaining the IP68 certificate from the terminal. This has been achieved thanks to a strong housing that is completely closed and theoretically prevents the entry of dust and water. Among the materials used for the roof we find the carbon fiber and in addition, a coating of Cristal with which it tries to show brighter finishes. We did not find any sharp edges and the weight of the device is around 190 grams, about 30 more than the average.
The Vernee Active cameras are manufactured by Sony
Something very common among rugged phablets is the fact that some image or performance features are sacrificed for the benefit of a longer lifespan. In this case, we find characteristics typical of the mid-range in the visual field such as its cameras, created by Sony and composed of a single rear lens of 13 Mpx and a front lens of 8, and the diagonal, of 5,5 inches with a resolution FHD. In terms of performance, it has a 6 GB RAM, a storage of 128 and Android Nougat. Its processor, a Helio P25, reaches 2,6 Ghz according to its creators. The operating system is its own customization layer inspired by Nougat.
Availability and price
Currently, it can be booked through the company's website. The pre-order phase will end next Monday. From then on, it will go on sale officially although at a slightly higher cost, going from the current 280 dollars, about $237, at 320 greenbacks, about 270 euros. Do you think Vernee could have good results with this device or not? We leave you available more related information such as, for example, a list with the most outstanding mobiles of the second division of Chinese brands so you can meet their potential rivals.
