As expected, General mobile has introduced two Android-powered smartphones(General Mobile GM8 and GM8 Pro) based on Android One platform, while also showcasing the last minute rumored GM 8 Go based on Android Oreo Go OS.
The General Mobile GM8 and GM8 Pro are both mid-range devices and are basically the same in terms of internal configuration, but with slight variations in RAM and storage sizes.
Made entirely out of metal with a rear fingerprint scanner, the General Mobile GM8 and GM8 Pro flaunt a 5.7-inch HD+ (1440 x 720) display and powered by a Snapdragon 435 64-bit octa-core processor with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage for the General Mobile GM8 and 4GB RAM+ 64GB RAM and storage for the pro variant. Been on the Android One platform, both devices will get timely and prompt delivery of any available update.
Both devices use a 13-megapixel rear and front snapper. The camera is accompanied by a LED flash, but the front-facing cam gets with a f/2.2 aperture as against the f/2.0 of the rear camera. Both devices get a 3075mAh non-removable battery and will run Android Oreo out of the box.
