Design and Display
The Archos 50d Oxygen features a sleek, clean and functional design that should make it appealing to most. The appeal of the silky-smooth chassis is enhanced with gold accents.
The smartphone is relatively slim at 8.12 millimetres and the weight is also manageable at 140 grams.
Archos 50D Oxygen rocks a 5-inch IPS display with a Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. You should expect impressive wide viewing angles considering the display technology and a high pixel density of about 441 ppi.
Camera and Storage
On the camera front, the Archos 50d Oxygen offers the sort of set up one would expect on new smartphones at this price point.
A powerful 13-megapixel shooter with autofocus and LED flash can be found on the rear of the device. This is accompanied on the front by a 5-megapixel snapper for selfies.
The internal storage of 16GB capacity should handle tons of photos, videos and documents. The Archos 50D Oxygen also takes up to 32GB microSD card for storage expansion.
Performance and OS
The Archos 50d Oxygen is armed with an octa-core MediaTek MT6753 processor which paces along at 1.3 GHz. It is paired with a Mali T720 MP3 GPU and higher 2 GB of RAM, compared to the lowly 1 GB seen on the Archos 50c Oxygen.
The phone should deliver impressive performance and responsiveness based on this configuration. It will boot Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, which is also an improvement on the old Android 4.4 KitKat.
Other Features
A slightly-improved 2,100mAh battery is charged with power supply – this is a tad disappointing going by today’s standards and the Full HD display.
The Archos 50d Oxygen offers dual-SIM functionality while also supporting ultra-fast 4G LTE connectivity. The usual connectivity options, such as Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi Direct, are also onboard.
Pricing and Availability
Archos 50D Oxygen is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Archos 50D Oxygen Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N45,000 to N65,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
