From the official hands on video of the device, the device seems to look quite good but could have been a killer smartphone if the design could have been better. The smartphone features a 5-inch display with 1920 x 1080 resolution supporting 26M colors. The display, according to Walton, is a Quantum Sharp Pure Black IPS display which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3rd Gen.
Apart from Walton, the 4G LTE enabled device, Helio S1 is another phone that also caught a lot of attention due to its ‘premium’ feel. Termed as Helio S1, the smartphone is actually a product by Symphony. According to them, the Helio series will comprise of very high-end devices.
The Helio S1 is being touted for its 4G capabilities, 64-bit processor and design. In brief, the Helio S1 is a pretty looking device with an attractive metal finish and a 6.95mm profile. The sleek body is fused to a powerful octa-core 1.3GHz processor and 2GB of RAM.
