AUXUS ONE: DESIGN

Iberry has given special emphasis on the design of the auxus one. It is one of the best-looking phones in India. The swiveling camera sets it apart from other phones in this price range. A portion on the back cover is touch responsive too. People often mistake it for the Oppo line-up.

AUXUS ONE: DISPLAY

The screen size is 5.5 inches making it close to the territory of the phablets. The display has a resolution of 720 x 1080 giving it a pixel density of 228 ppi, yet the display is amazing. However the viewing angles are not that great as the image quality gets disturbed when viewed from different angles. It uses capacitive buttons for back, home and settings .It sports a volume rocker and a power button on the right edge .The phone dimensions are 154.00 x 76.00 x 7.90 mm. The phone has a weight of 175 gm but feels light in the hand. Touch sensitivity of the screen is above average too; however at times the sensitivity drops below average and the finger needs to be pressed against the screen so that no random apps may open while scrolling.

AUXUS ONE: OFF SCREEN CAPABILITIES

Double tapping the screen, turns it on as well as swiping from bottom to top. Swiping from top to bottom plays music and swiping left and right changes the song. Additional gestures can be activated in the setting. The ones available to us are the letters W, O, C and E. They can be assigned an app to initialize when gestured.

AUXUS ONE: HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

The Auxus one comes with android 4.4 (Kitkat) which is currently one of the latest versions of android. It may be upgradeable to lollipop in the future. The phone is powered by mediatek's octacore processor clocked at 1.7 GHz. Mali-450 Mp4 makes sure all Games run at excellent speed. 2 GB of RAM means it is a phone made for multitasking. All this is powered by a huge removable 3200 mAH battery. Internal storage is 32 GB so you will not run out of memory easily.

AUXUS ONE: CAMERA

According to the website, the camera is a 15.5 MP Sony camera. The camera module rotates to 207 degrees. It has a dual Led flashlight of average intensity. Even with a 15.5 MP, the camera quality is average. The problem may lie in the software that processes the image from the camera. It can record good quality videos too. Double tapping the rear touch panel opens the camera app and touching the screen for 1.5 seconds snaps a photo.
