Oppo is about to launch a new entry-level smartphone in India. Called Joy Plus, this is obviously the successor of Joy which he unfortunately retains much of the data sheet in addition to price.
Oppo denotes a bit beside his Chinese compatriots such as Xiaomi, Lenovo or ZTE. The price is clearly not a priority. His latest flagship, the N3, sold more than 500 € while others rarely cross the € 400. Or when it does, it is at the expense of everything else, as with Joy. Entry-level smartphone, he particularly disappointed us with his equipment from another time at its output. And it is clearly not his successor that will correct the shot.
Freshly introduced in India, the Joy Plus practically keeps the same datasheet that the first model. Two differences ahead anyway. RAM from 512 MB to 1 GB and Android will this time delivered in Version KitKat. This is still not the latest but it’s still better than Jelly Bean. The rest has therefore not moved: WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) 4-inch dual-core MT6572 chipset clocked at 1.3GHz, 4GB of internal memory, 3 megapixel camera, VGA webcam and 1700 mAh battery. No 4G here.
Joy Plus will soon be priced at 6990 rupees, the equivalent of a hundred dollars. It’s still a price to pay, especially on such a competitive market as India where it is possible to find a particular Redmi 2 with HD display, quad-core chipset and 4G modem virtually the same price.
