Let’s admit, very large smartphones are not for everyone but they have some advantages that other phones lack. I came across the 6.44” smartphone that you have probably not heard of. It costs just $130 but I was amazed by how much value it offers. Learn more in our full review.

Thanks to Banggood for sending Ramos MOS1 Max for a review.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: UNBOXING

I’m talking about the Ramos MOS1 Max phone that comes in quite a premium packaging. Inside the box, you can find all the usual items that you would expect to come with any phone.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: DESIGN and DISPLAY

The key aspect of this phone is its size and that is because of a huge 6.44” 1080p display, which is surprisingly great, sharp and vibrant for such a cheap phone.

Also, the phone is made almost entirely of metal (except for the top and bottom parts for antennas). The device sits nicely in the hand but you will definitely need two hands to handle it.

I love the fact that there are no moving parts whatsoever. The dual-micro SIM card tray stays firmly and buttons do not rattle, and they have a good tactile feedback.

I don’t like the fact that we have only the on-screen navigation buttons. A great thing is that there is a notification LED light, which sits next to the 8MP front-facing camera.

Usually, the loudspeakers suck on the cheap phones but I have to tell you that the Ramos Mos 1 is one of the better devices in this department.

Same can be said about the sound quality via the headset jack as the phone sports a Hi-Fi audio chip.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: HARDWARE and PERFORMANCE

For the price of $130, the phone sports some pretty good specs. The device ships with an octa-core MTK6753 chip, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, which is, however, not expandable.

The 3D gaming performance is not as good as I expected as there are quite a few skipped frames even if you play Asphalt 8 on medium graphics.

On the other hand, the 2D games work just fine and the phone does not overheat.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: BENCHMARKS

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: USER INTERFACE

What I love about this phone is that it ships with the stock Android ROM and the device is pretty fast on the daily basis, and I didn’t have any lags or hiccups. However, we have the outdated Android 5.1 version and I’m not really sure if we are going to see an update to the Android 6.0 anytime soon.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: IMAGE QUALITY

As for image quality, you should not expect any stellar results from a cheap phone like this. Still, you may get some nice-looking photos that are pretty sharp and detailed. However, the camera has some issues handling the dynamic range, there could a little bit more detail in some of the shots.

The selfie camera can take images that will definitely do the trick for social media.

The video quality is just mediocre as on most of the cheap phones. See the video review for a video sample.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: CONNECTIVITY

I didn’t have any connectivity issues and even the GPS lock speeds and accuracy were okay. The only downside would be that there is not 5GHz Wifi band support.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: BATTERY LIFE

The battery life is one of the highlights of the Ramos phone as it ships with a beefy 6100mAh unit. I could not kill the phone in one day and I would say that you will be able to get at least 2 days of moderate usage out of this phone. Also, the phone supports a quick-charge tech and I was able to fully charge it in around 1:40 mins.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: CONCLUSIONS

The MOS1 Max was the very first phone made by Ramos that I had a chance to review. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much value this phone offers.

It all starts with a gorgeous 6.44” display, excellent all-metal build, great sound quality, stock Android user interface and awesome battery life.

However, the MOS1 Max is not for everyone due to its size. It is not really possible to handle the phone in one hand or even put it in the pocket but if you are watching this review, you are probably looking for a phablet.

Other shortcomings worth considering would be the lack of the microSD card slot, the outdated Android 5.1 user interface, only the on-screen navigation buttons and subpar 3D gaming performance.

Other than that, the Ramos MOS1 Max is a great offering for the price if you are looking for a super-sized phone, despite a few shortcomings.

A few months back, the well-known tablet manufacturer Ramos announced its entry to the mobile phone industry by launching the MOS1 smart phone.  Now, a new generation of Ramos’ first smartphone has also surfaced. The company is marketing the MOS1 Max as a device with 6000mAh+ plus battery and a 6-inch plus big screen.

The official digital poster of Ramos declares “Great vision on a huge screen? Or the feeling of comfort? MOS1 MAX is quite different.” The poster suggests that the smartphone will have both a large screen and a long battery life. Meanwhile, the digital poster obviously implies that the smart phone will have a screen larger than 6-inches on a slim and comfortable design.The company’s earlier teasers had hinted at a slim body, but we still don’t know how slim the company is aiming. Anything below 8mm with 6000mAh+ battery would be impressive, but we have a feeling that it could be a tad slimmer.

6 inch + screen, 6000mAh + battery, there is no doubt that this will be a giant screen smartphone.  The device will meet with you in October, which is just a few days away.

If priced correctly, the Ramos Mos1 Max could really attract the likes of large screen battery lovers. Meanwhile, if you are looking for smartphones with large batteries on a budget, check out our list. 

The post Ramos Mos1 Max Confirmed to Feature 6-inch+ Screen & 6000mAh+ battery! appeared first on Gizmochina.

It was announced on an official Weibo micro blog that Ramos will be launching a new device called Mos1 MAX as their first smartphone. The micro blog stated that Ramos has achieved packing a large and long life battery inside a very slim device. Remember, Ramos Mos1 which was announced back in July? The phone came with a 3050mAh battery and this seems to be a Max version of the flagship.

A new leak also conspicuously revealed a battery capacity of 6xxxmAh, suggesting that the device will be equipped with at least 6000mAh large-capacity battery. The figures indicating the capacity on the back of the battery are redacted, but one can see the they begin with 6 and that the manufacturer is BYD. In addition, there are other users’ leaks suggesting that the MOS 1 MAX’s battery has a nominal voltage 3.85V and peak voltage 4.4V. Previously, another Chinese brand –  Innos Yi Luo has launched a 6000mAh battery on their D6000 smartphone. It was the world’s largest battery capacity in a mobile phone at that time. It is not yet known whether Ramos has gone beyond this.

The Mos1 MAX is expected to resemble the iPhone 6 in shape but with a slim 7.6mm overall thickness. The screen also might be extra-large with a possible size of 6 inches. The device is expected to be available in stores in October.

The post Ramos Mos1 Max In The Works With 6000mAh+ Battery & Slim Body appeared first on Gizmochina.

You must have heard of the Chinese company called Ramos, who is a well known tablet manufacturer. But a few weeks back, we got news that the company has decided to release a brand new smartphone called as the Mos1. This would also make it the company’s first smartphone.

Now, the Ramos Mos1 is finally official and most of the details are in line with what we have been hearing for the past few days. First of all, since this is the company’s first smartphone, it has paid special care in the phone’s design. The Ramos Mos1 reportedly comes with five sided crystal cutting design along with 2.D glass on both the sides. If you remember, even the recent Vivo X5Pro had 2.5D glass on both sides.

To further improve the body, the company has used 6063 aluminum alloy material, which is reportedly tough and corrosion resistant. The body is quite slim too, measuring just 6.6mm in thickness. Finally, to make things even better, the bezels have been slimmed down. The phone comes with pretty narrow 1.9mm bezels on the sides, improving the overall look.

As for the specs, its quite good. The phone comes with Snapdragon 615 octa-core 64-bit chip under the hood. While we would have preferred something more powerful like Snapdragon 808, even 615 is fine as long as it doesn’t overheat. Other specs include 2GB RAM, 32GB of internal storage, 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front facing one. As for the software, the phone comes with MOUI 1.0 based on Android 5.0. The phone also comes with Hi-Fi Audio chip. 

Unfortunately, unlike earlier rumors which suggested that the phone will have a massive 4850mAh battery, the Ramos Mos1 actually comes with just a 3050mAh capacity battery. But the battery life should be good since it will be made by BYD, which is a well known manufacturer of automobile rechargeable batteries. Further, the phone supports Qualcomm Fast Charge 2.0, which should definitely speed up the charging time.

You can check out the official video down below.

The phone will be available from August 10 via JD.com. The initial reservations start on July 31 for 1999 Yuan ($322). Ramos is also reportedly working on a Mos1 Max version with a 6-inch display and 6000mAh battery.
