Seems like we have a new Ulefone gunman in town and this time it’s more of a lower midrange type of a guy. As the name itself suggests the new Ulefone Metal will have full metal body made from magnesium-aluminum alloy by CNC processing. The body looks a bit curved in the back so promises an okay grip too.
So what hardware is this marvel packing ? Well nothing so surprising for the aspirations, octa-core MT6753 processor, 3 GB RAM, 16 GB of storage, 5-inch display with HD resolution and protective 2.5D Gorilla Glass. Rear camera will be 8 Mpix (interpolated to 13 Mpix) with Sony IMX149 sensor and front one 2 Mpix (interpolated to 5 Mpix) shooter, but at least the pre-installed app should offer manual controls ISO, white balance and such.
Gizchina News of the week
The phone will also have a multifunctional fingerprint scanner, 3050 mAh battery capacity and Android 6.0 Marshmallow as the OS. As for the color options the Ulefone Metal will be sold in black, grey and silver versions.
What remains to be seen is the price and while i don’t expect it to be high Ulefone plan to reveal it during the giveaway event soon. So feel free to join in for this giveaway and maybe Lady Luck will smile down upon you and grant some free new Ulefone Metal.
Very new metallic color, very amazing black metal. I hope that we could see.
Gray is also very good, I like the edge ulefone Metal design lines is very beautiful.
I like the way how they have connected the three parts of the metal body with mirroring grooves, instead of leaving big gap between them to have rough impression.
I have like the display is good very much.
He is a ulefone employee, feel free to ignore his messages
You doubt everything? Why do you doubt everything, do not you life is unhappy it?
Your name is not Sanjay Jha, and this is not you in the picture. Why lie that you’re an ulefone employee to try and promote the company you work for? Are you ashamed for working at ulefone?
I should have bought their Paris last year, but battery was too small. This year, on the Metal, i have seen all i want, 3000mAh battery, 3GB RAM, fingerprint scanner and metal back cover. And according to the price range their have offered, the phone will be sold for no more than USD129.99, so surely i will buy. Can’t wait for the sale begin.
For $130 there are better phones available starting with the Redmi 3 Pro with 3GB RAM and a 4100mAh battery. It also has a much better camera and much better software support.
I love my Ulefone Paris but the Metal is apparently a enhanced version, better metal body (Paris just have metal frame and plastic back cover), bigger ram, bigger battery, and the fingerprint scanner. If i want to buy a new 5-inch device, Ulefone metal is no doubt my first choice, but i want to keep the Paris for another year since it is also a very good phone and android 6.0 is coming soon.
Will buy if it is priced below USD130. It can be a very good phone since the specs sounds not bad.
3000mAh is really a big battery for 5-inch phone. I’ll get a silver version for my wife.
clever 😀
getting off cheap , eh ?
Vernee Thor has 2800mAh battery, also 5 inch, if you prefer to have a medal back phone, then Metal would be better, but we have to see how it is the daily using experience
Ulefone better start shipping the Future instead of showing what they may (or may not?) release!
I ordered the Ulefone Future in grey on May 4th during presale and mine hasn’t shipped yet!
never buy a pre-sale phone
Have to agree with Zealer I would never buy a pre sale phone from a company like Ulefone. Actually there aren’t too many companies I would buy it from, Xiaomi might be the only one.
“Rear camera will be 8 Mpix (interpolated to 13 Mpix) with Sony IMX149 sensor and front one 2 Mpix (interpolated to 5 Mpix) shooter”
They should change the name from Ulefone Metal to Ulefone 2013 seeing as they are using camera specs from a 2013 phone.
3050mAh battery is too small. vkworld T1 Plus features 4300mAh battery and it’s only $99. I think everyone knows which one to choose.
