Plum Gator 4 Overall Review

The Plum Gator 4 emerges as a rugged smartphone, designed to endure extreme conditions without compromising on performance. Announced in October 2017, it targets outdoor enthusiasts and professionals working in challenging environments, offering durability alongside essential smartphone capabilities.

Equipped with a 5.0-inch display, the Gator 4 delivers clear and bright visuals, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, ensuring resistance against scratches and minor drops. At the heart of the device is the MT6580 chipset, supported by 1 GB of RAM. This combination provides adequate performance for day-to-day tasks, including calling, messaging, and basic app usage.

Storage is modest, with 8 GB of internal space, expandable via a microSD card, accommodating users’ needs for storing photos, videos, and apps. Photography is handled by a 13 MP primary camera, offering decent image quality for capturing moments, and a 5 MP front camera for selfies and video calls.

The device is powered by a 5000 mAh battery, providing extensive usage times, crucial for users in areas where charging options are scarce. Additionally, its rugged design is not just about physical durability; it also includes resistance to water and dust, making it a reliable companion in almost any condition.
