Plum Compass LTE Overall Review

The Plum Compass LTE, announced in November 2017, marks a significant entry into the budget smartphone segment. This device is designed to offer essential features at an affordable price point, catering to users looking for basic smartphone functionality without breaking the bank.

Sporting a 5.0-inch display, the Compass LTE provides a comfortable viewing experience for everyday tasks such as browsing, messaging, and using social media apps. Powered by the MT6737M chipset and complemented by 1 GB of RAM, it delivers adequate performance for the device’s intended entry-level use.

Photography on the Plum Compass LTE is handled by an 8 MP primary camera and a 5 MP front camera, offering users the ability to capture moments and engage in video calls. While not groundbreaking, these camera specs are on par with what one might expect from a smartphone in this price range.

The device comes with 8 GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card, providing flexibility for users to store photos, apps, and data. Additionally, the 2100 mAh battery ensures that the phone can last through a day of moderate use.
