Plum Phantom Overall Review

The Plum Phantom is a budget-friendly smartphone that made its debut in September 2017, marking its presence in the affordable smartphone segment with noteworthy features. This device sports a sizable 6.0-inch display, providing ample screen real estate for media consumption and web browsing. The display’s resolution and technology cater to users looking for a decent viewing experience without breaking the bank.

Powered by the MediaTek MT6580A chipset and equipped with 1 GB of RAM, the Plum Phantom is designed to handle basic smartphone tasks efficiently. While it may not boast the high performance of more premium models, it offers a balanced experience for its price point, including 16 GB of storage for apps and media, which can be expanded via a microSD card.

Photography on the Plum Phantom is facilitated by a 13 MP primary camera and an 8 MP front camera, suitable for casual photography and video calls. Although it won’t rival the output of high-end smartphones, it’s commendable for capturing moments in decent clarity.

Battery life is another critical aspect, with the device powered by a 2500 mAh battery, offering enough power to get through a day under moderate usage. It runs on Android, providing access to a vast array of apps and services available on the Google Play Store.
