iVoomi Me3s Review: Shatter-proof Display Phone

iVoomi, a pretty much new brand in Indian smartphone market has added two new members to its budget series with the launch of Me3 and Me3s. Today, we have Me3S for review which comes at the price of Rs 6499 with shatterproof display and good design. Surprisingly, the low-budget phone has HD screen and 3GB RAM, meaning no compromise in terms of specs but what about the performance, let’s find out

Design and Display

The design of Me3s seems very good at the price point iVoomi selling the device. It features a plastic body and the back is removable. Interestingly, the company has antenna bands in U-shape at the top and bottom, which looks good.  It has 2.5D curved glass at the front which protects the 5.2-inch screen.

The navigation buttons are on-screen, though they are not backlit and can be a problem in the night. The top of the phone comprises earpiece, selfie camera, and front flash. At the right, you get the volume controls and power on/off, while the left is bare. On the top edge, it has a  headphone jack and micro USB port. The rear side of the phones has the primary camera at the top left corner along with a LED flash, while at the base, you will find a speaker grille. The back panel is removable and under the panel, you will find the dual-SIM slot and a dedicated micro SD card slot. Further, the battery is also removable in nature. Overall, the does give a decent look, though the plastic quality of the back panel is not that great.

Coming to the display which is 5.2 inch HD IPS with a resolution of 1280x720

Camera

The camera sports 13 Mp rear camera with 1.0um Samsung Sensor comes with HDR Mode, Low light Photography, Beauty Mode, Panorama, Flash, and Auto Focus. For the front, it features an 8-megapixel 1.12um sensor camera for selfies and video calling with Front Flash and Beauty Mode.

The camera performance was average in nature and the photos it captured insufficient light was good but in the low light, it grabs too much noise. The focus of the phone was pretty much fast and the color produces were accurate and natural.  The selfie performance is also average, though the front flash would be helpful in low-light conditions.

Performance

Under the hood, the Me3s sports quad-core MediaTek MT6737 processor clocked at 1.3GHz coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The storage can be further expanded up to 128Gb via micro SD card slot. On the connectivity front, the device supports 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth, WiFi, dual SIM and micro USB port, Light Sensor, G-Sensor, and Proximity Sensor. The devices run on Android 7.0 Nougat with company’s custom UI running on top of it.  Although having a 3GB RAM still some minor lag can be seen while switching apps due to the custom skin. We played some high-end games such as Asphalt 8 and did not find any performance lag in gaming.

The company claiming that the smartphone’s screen is unbreakable, which means that it can bear all the accidental drops from your hands. We tried to throw the device from waist length and yes, it did not break.

Battery and Connectivity

The  Me3s sports a 3000mAh battery and easily can last long a day in moderate usage, playing games, net surfing etc. While in our video look test its lasted for 5 hours and 3 minutes, playing video on youtube with full brightness and volume over Wi-Fi.
