Plum Coach Plus II Overall Review
The Plum Coach Plus II emerges as a budget-friendly smartphone, aiming to deliver essential smartphone features to users who prioritize affordability and basic functionality. Announced in May 2014, this device is part of Plum’s commitment to offering economical mobile solutions. With a 6.0-inch display, it provides ample screen real estate for browsing, reading, and video playback, which is quite generous for its price point.
Powered by the MT6582M chipset and equipped with 512 MB of RAM, the Coach Plus II is designed for basic tasks such as calling, texting, and light app usage. Although these specs might seem modest compared to today’s high-end smartphones, they are sufficient for users with minimal performance requirements. The device also comes with 4 GB of storage, expandable via a microSD card, allowing for a reasonable amount of apps and media.
Photography on the Coach Plus II is handled by an 8 MP primary camera and a 1.3 MP front camera, offering decent picture quality for casual photography and video calls. The 2400 mAh battery is another highlight, promising to get through a day under moderate use.
Running on Android, the Coach Plus II offers access to Google’s ecosystem, albeit with limitations due to its hardware. It’s a device that stands out for its simplicity and user-friendliness, particularly suitable for first-time smartphone users or those seeking a secondary, budget-friendly device.
