Plum Sync 4.0b Overall Review

The Plum Sync 4.0b, announced in June 2015, caters to the segment of users looking for a basic smartphone experience without the bells and whistles of high-end devices. It sports a modest 4.0-inch display, providing a comfortable size for one-handed use and sufficient screen real estate for day-to-day tasks. Powered by the MT6572 chipset and supported by 512 MB of storage and 256 MB of RAM, it’s clear that this device is designed for basic phone functions and light app usage.

Camera capabilities are on the simpler side, with a 1.3 MP primary camera that suits basic photography needs. Selfie enthusiasts and video callers will find the 1.3 MP front camera adequate for casual use. The 1300 mAh battery, while not groundbreaking, should offer acceptable battery life given the phone’s modest hardware requirements.
