Otium are launching an all new phone with original design ahead of Christmas this year. Here are the exclusive first images of the new Otium Z6.
For anyone following the Chinese tech scene will already know, smartphone manufacturers come in different tiers. The top end companies like Huawei, Oppo Xiaomi, who make and design all their own products. The mid-range who make a mix is original and copy and the low-end.
Mid-range phone makers usually buy in their devices from an OEM factory, this is why we see identical phones branded with different names and companies, but now and again we are treated to something original.
Otium are telling us that their new Otirum Z6 is an all new phone and we wont see it branded as anything other than an Otium product. The design of the phone is very unique, featuring a round design and distinctive metal edge top and bottom.

Pricing for the device will be just $160 (or there about) a great price for an octacore smartphone with 2GB RAM, wireless charging and 13 mega-pixel main camera.
Otium are currently working on a final name for the Z6 and we will have more details of the phone in the coming day.
Display resolution ?
Probably 720p you can’t expect too much since it’s a 160$ phone and we already know it will be octa-core and have 2 gigs of ram.
Thank god if it has 720p. Rather have an energy saving and well colored 720p than a rubbish 1080p….
Looks a bit like a Nokia, maybe the Nokia N9. Nothing wrong with that though, I like how those look.
Design looks good really
It looks really nice but the hard edges will make it a pain to hold in the hand.
I wonder what the full dimensions of this phone are and the screen size.
Wireless charging, inbuilt is unusual for China-brands atm. Has anyone tried the add-on accessories yet – using the mUSB socket? It comes in two types, depending on which way the socket faces. The power-sender & mUSB power-receiver are not too much money.
Two of my three China-brands have damaged mUSB sockets now, so I use a dedicated battery-charger to swap my charged spare battery as needed. Youtubing, it seems that the ISO group that designed the m-USB socket messed up. I used to represent a lobby group on one of their standards committees ; it’s very political.
Result is: m-SATA sockets fail easily, regardless of brand or model. That’s why Apple & other brands don’t like using it. Ask a repair shop. After screen replacements, this ISO failure is very common. Good business for repair shops & phone manufacturers.
