Posh Orion Pro X500

Posh Orion Pro X500 Review 2015-Posh Mobile is a great example of how difficult it is to build a budget phone with many of the best features. That's because the dual-SIM phone with a 5-inch screen, 1.3GHz processor, and a 5 megapixel camera which is disturbed by the poor performance, feels cheap and mediocre screen.

Posh Orion Pro X500 Review

For a little background, Posh Mobile is a new mobile phone company aimed at how these devices on the growing smartphone market in Latin America and in the US budget. Mobile Posh It will join the ranks of low-cost, like any other smartphone manufacturers globally-compatible suppose VeryKool.

Orion Pro X500 Case producer price is around $ 140, but you can find it for a bit cheaper on Amazon and other online retailers. For the price, cheaper than most dual-SIM mobile phone that you can find.

Latest Design

For the latest designs include a posh mobile cell phone size is 5.66 inches, 2.87 inches and 0.40 inches, for a thick (144 x 73 x 10.3 mm). For smaller hand size, it was just on the verge of becoming too big to use one hand: after trying we could just barely get the whole hand around it and use the screen at the same time. it's easier for us to use it with two hands. This phone is pretty well, due to the weight of 6.4 ounces (181.43 grams), makes us uncomfortable to hold with one hand.

Orion Pro has all-polycarbonate body. This phone comes in four colors: white, black, blue and red. We further reviewed the blue version, which is in a great navy that has a slight hint of shimmer, giving the design of the phone some personality.

The back cover of Orion Pro appears off to reveal the battery, dual-SIM slot and microSD card slot. However, take off the cover that requires a lot of strength. There is a small indentation in the bottom left corner and use the tool, such as a small screwdriver, to dismantle it. We are also striving to insert the SIM card, either slot. We usually do not have a problem with it in any phone, so that stood out for us.

Orion Pro has a 5-inch IPS LED screen with a resolution of 980 x 540. The biggest complaint is the text that not only looks sharp, making it difficult to read at normal size. We need to crank it up to the "big" in setting compensation. Also, the colors look saturated and unnatural, add to the overall poor quality of the display. The last issue with the screen is that it does not always feel responsive.

Below the screen is capacitive phone menu, home and back keys. They have a very dim the backlight stays for a few seconds after you press them, but instead they blend with the black screen bezel. Unlike other Android phones, you have to press and hold the home button, instead press the menu button to open your last application.

Software Features For Posh Orion

You will not find the latest and greatest things of Android in Orion Pro. This phone runs Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2, version cellphone nearly two-year-old operating system that is a few steps behind the latest 5.0 release Lollipop. Despite the fact that Google's Android 4.4 KitKat designed to run on lower devices.

This phone does not have a lot of extra software features, although it does not have a custom design from Posh Mobile. You can choose one of six theme called "Style" and change the accent color for the menu. Each theme has a unique icon pack that looks dated. The rest of the phone has a distinctive stock Android look, with horizontal-scrolling app drawer, swipe-down notification shade and simple lock screen.

Widely available Google applications, including Gmail, Calendar, and Maps. Including the file manager, Opera Mini browser, voice recorder, and Posh Apps is an application that promises a free application from the company, but it really just shows links to a few select titles from Google Play. No need to bother with Posh Apps, when the Play Store app offers the same features and more experience.

Then there are some important additions such as audio profile, which allows you to quickly change the settings for the sound volume and suitable environment, such as a meeting or night. You can also schedule the phone to turn off and turn on at a certain time, a feature that previously we did not see any other Android smartphone.

Camera

Do not expect to take amazing photos with a camera Orion Pro, because the 5-megapixel main camera the result was a disappointment. Many photos we took with the camera looks blurry,, despite our efforts to focus the shot. Check out one of our pictures below and take a look.

Performance: Processor, Data and Battery

Posh phone comes with a 1.3GHz quad-core processor Mediatek, which is capable of, but slow. Moving through the menus are usually sharp, but sometimes we see often slow, especially when opening the application.

The phone also comes with 1GB of RAM, which is the standard these days for many budget device. Quadrant score for this phone is 5837 and the results of 234.91 MFLOPS in Linpack is 0.72 seconds.

Orion Pro equipped with 4GB of storage, with the option to add up to 32GB of storage with a microSD card. It was enough for a few hundred photos and many applications, but we recommend adding a SD card if you think you will need more space.

When heading to the data, this phone does not support LTE, but you can get a 4G HSPA + speeds, if available. In San Francisco, we can get a 4G connection with T-Mobile and great speed, average 3.29Mbps and 6.78Mbps using Speedtest application.

One of the major drawbacks to the Orion Pro is a 1,800mAh battery that will not make you a lot of talk time or standby time. Mobile Posh actually do not have data on standby or time to talk. In testing, we tried to call but does not last more than one day of light usage before needing to charge the battery back.

Another feature is the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and VPN, which is strangely called the WHT in the settings. According toFCC radiation measurement, this device has a head SAR rating 0.90W / kg.
