Design and Display
The Pepsi P1 parades premium look with a unibody design featuring aluminium material. It is interestingly slim for a phone targeted at the budget-conscious buyer with a thickness of just 7.7 millimetres. It will come in blue, gold and silver variants.
The affordable smartphone crams in a large 5.5-inch diagonal display with a Full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. The screen features 2.5D glass and the soft drink maker’s signature red, white and blue colours.
Camera and Storage
This device also impresses on the camera front with a combo of a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel selfie camera. The main sensor, which is made by Samsung, features an f/2.0 aperture and looks like one that will be capable of recording Full HD (1080p) videos.
You get ample 16 GB of onboard storage for keeping your photos, videos and other files. MicroSD storage expansion of up to 64 GB is supported.
Performance and OS
The Pepsi P1 is armed with an octa-core MediaTek MT6592 processor which delivers speeds of up to 1.7 GHz. The capable-looking chip is paired with decent 2 GB of RAM that should make the device respectably responsive and deliver impressive multitasking performance.
The phone will boot Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system for rich user experience.
Other Features
Users should expect blazing-fast data speeds on the Pepsi P1 given its support for 4G (LTE) connectivity. The device has dual-SIM feature, but note that using two SIM cards means you will have to sacrifice the ability to use a microSD card for storage expansion.
Interesting for a budget smartphone, the Pepsi P1 features a fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication. A 3000mAh battery supplies power to the phone.
Pricing and Availability
Pepsi P1 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Pepsi P1 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N15,000 to N22,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
