Build and Display
Plastic chassis is the hallmark of most affordable smartphones and that looks to apply to the Yezz Monte Carlo 55 LTE as well. But in spite of its humongous size, the device shows off a slim body at only 7 millimetres in thickness.
The handset packs in a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. This has the potential to deliver enjoyable wide-angle viewing, but a pixel density of about 267 pixels per inch somehow limits expectations.
Camera
The Yezz Monte Carlo 55 LTE gives buyers something to relish in the camera department. On the rear is a heavyweight 20-megapixel camera with LED flash, autofocus and HDR capability.
This superb shooter can record Full HD (1080p) videos of 30 frames per second. It comes with an equally impressive 8-megapixel front-facing snapper which also offers LED flash for great lowlight selfies.
Hardware and Software
As for the internals, the Monte Carlo 55 LTE is equipped with an octa-core MediaTek MT6753 processor teamed up with a Mali-T720MP3 GPU.
The Cortex-A53 CPU, which runs along at 1.3 GHz, looks like one to deliver impressive performance, although the 1 GB of RAM supplied leaves more to be desired.
The integrated storage has a capacity of 8 GB, which you will be able to expand further by up to 64 GB using a microSD card slot. The Monte Carlo 55 LTE boots Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system.
Other Features
This cost-friendly phablet is equipped with a 3,000mAh Li-Polymer battery rated to deliver more than 22 hours in talk time. It offers two SIM card slots (Micro-SIM and Nano-SIM), one of which serves as a microSD card slot.
The Yezz Monte Carlo 55 LTE offers lightning-fast 4G LTE (Cat. 4) connectivity. You also get Bluetooth 4.0 LE and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct and hotspot for making wireless connections.
Pricing and Availability
Yezz Monte Carlo 55 LTE is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Yezz Monte Carlo 55 LTE Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N65,000 to N90,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
