We've talked here on the blog on the Chinese giant Zopo, which is becoming famous for manufacturing mobile devices similar to those of big brands but at a cost less varied and technology.
Today, let's talk about the brand new darling: Captain S Zopo ZP990. It comes with 6 inches on a full HD 1080, Gorilla Glass. Its rear camera is 13M pixels with autofocus and flash. The front camera is 5M pixels.
The phone also comes with Mediatek latest generation quad-core 1.5 GHz MT6589T with his SGX544MP PowerVR GPU, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB ROM, Micro SD slot, 3G WCDMA 850/2100 MHz, Wi- Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and a 3000 mAh battery.
The phone follows the style of the Samsung Galaxy. The CPU is similar to computing capacity and screen S3 is greater than S4.
The phablet (as they are known that larger devices that smartphones and smaller than a tablet) comes with Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, which seems standard today in the Chinese market and has me a black version and a white. The manufacturer chose to surround the ZP990 with an alloy of aluminum, magnesium and steel, which makes it lightweight and durable.
One disadvantage noted by some users was the performance of the CPU and RAM (1 Gb), but what is said is soon to be launched a turbocharged version.
Extra: you know what is Gorilla Glass?
The Gorilla Glass is not unknown users from major brands such as Milestone, iPhone 4, Galaxy Tab or Dell Adamo. It is basically a glass, a glass but not any! You can throw it on the floor, kick it or shoot it up using an air gun and he hardly seem affected.
The Gorilla Glass is a glass made for resisitir scratches or splinters.
In order to have this result, the Gorilla Glass is treated differently from other tempered glass. As explained Donnell Walton, an engineer responsible for the technology:
"When you produce chemically tempered glass, you dip it in a bath of salt (potassium nitrate melted), and the process forces ions larger potassium nitrate against the glass.
What is unique is that the Gorilla Glass because of its inherent composition, it can allow these ions penetrate deeper into the larger surface to increase the tolerance compression and risks also tolerate more funds.
The compression pushes back the fault. And it is more difficult to break from a deep scratch ".
