With all the popular brands of mobile phones in the market,
Ninetology (a local based mobile device technology company) is breaking into
the cellular market with similar smartphones. Being a rather new company, it
has partnered with MediaTek Inc. ( a leading semiconductor company for wireless
communications and digital multimedia solutions) for technical support and
solutions to elevate the company's product to a level that is competitive to
established brands.
I was not expecting much from a local mobile device manufacturer, however
to much amazement, I was wrong!
The new mobile devices that were launched were incredible in
the sense it has all the features of other branded mobile phones and with
pretty amazing touches and features on it.
Firstly, it runs on 1.2 Ghz Quad Core processors and coupled
with the expensive Gorilla Corning Glass it is pretty much something to roar
about. In addition the camera is one of the best feature! 12 -13 Megapixels! It
shoots with sharp colours and depths. It is good in low and high lights and
even excellent with fluorescent.
No other mobile phones in the market are able to top this
feature. The U9X1 actually has a rear camera of 13Megapixels with 12.0
Aperture, Panorama shooting and Fast Burst Shots for capturing the perfect
moving object and a front camera of 2MP! The U9Z1 has 12MP rear camera
with....get the load of this....F2.2 Aperture and continuous burst shots up to
99 shots!!! And that is not all! The
U9Z1+ has a rear camera of 13MP with the same features as the U9Z1 and a front
camera of 5MP. All cameras are slotted with double SIM card fittings and U9X1
and U9Z1+ has SD slots for expansion of memory. With such high resolution in
the front camera, I am sure video conferencing and video calls images are crisp
and clear...till you can see the pores on the other person's face. If all these
features do not make your tail feather shake, I have no idea what will.
It is as if owning a good camera with a good phone at a very
attractive price. With the saturated mobile phone market with people preference
for brand names, U9 is one phone that is worth every single sen.
At one point the
emcees (Kevin of Traxx Fm) and Mark O'Dea (The London Boys) referred this new
mobile phones as Phablets (Phone + Tablet). Hey, why not? Since it mobile devices have
decent screen display coupled with the newest Android 4.2 operating system and
the Android Origin Music Player, it makes a good Phablet! At 5.7" it makes
a decent movie experience without burning a hole in your pocket for a tablet!
Some of friends have used the older version of this brand of
phones and are very satisfied with U9 devices.
The most important aspect of this phone is the price. Even
though all the devices are still in the 4 figure range starting from RM1099 to
RM1299.
Its relatively affordable to the masses who wants a smartphone
regardless of brand that has amazing up to date technology and some pleasant
surprises here and there! It is still the most affordable mobile devices around
town! I would not mind of getting one myself!
During the launch, Kevin and Mark had all the bloggers
involved in fun filled games whereby the last blogger standing (who is able to
answer a final question) gets to bring home a brand new U9 phone! Unfortunately
I was so engrossed in the game, I did not take any pictures. And it was also sad I
did not win the phone!
I would rate the new models 4.8 out of 5 (extra marks for being a local manufacturer and
I am so proud of it!).
On another side note, Ninetology has launched a Bloggers Review Program called
"TECH KAIJU ARENA". More details below:
