Everyone would like to purchase presents for their loved ones. And nowadays electronic devices gain huge popularity among gifts. One of the most popular items is smartphone. Since there are countless phones on the market, how can we choose the one? Today we will talk about a really special phone made by a Chinese manufacturer. And maybe it will be the one you want.
1. 3D Technology
And this is the Discovery S2 presented by a rising brand--VKworld. Some of you may have heard of this company on eBay, Amazon and other online shops. VKworld aims to provide customers the best quality with the best price. And this time the Discovery S2 is the symbol of their determination to further explode the market. Firstly, it claims to be the world’s first 3D phone with finger print scanner. Speaking of 3D phone, the previous HTC EVO 3D and LG Optimus 3D belong to this category. Unlike those two, Discovery S2 features a 5.5-inch 1920x1080 LG display, making the clearity jumpto a new high level. And it employs the latest 3D thin-film technology which improves viewing angle and saves about 60% more power than old technologies without losing high brightness and rich color saturation. Viewers can enjoy various 3D resources like images, videos, and games without 3D glasses and adjusting positions. The 3D experience on Discovery S2 is completely different from former 3D phones.
2. Industrial Design
Other than the 3D technology, another highlight of Discovery S2 is the industrial design. You probably notice the screen at first. Regardless of the 3D and FHD resolution, the screen comes with extremely thin bezel measured at only 1.75mm and high screen-body ratio calculated to 80%, which provides better one-hand using experience compared to other 5.5-inch phones like iPhone 6s plus and HTC Desire 820.The body of Discovery S2 is made of aircraft aluminum. And VKworld reveals some information about the metallic craftsmanship: The aluminum has to be processed with CNC technology for almost an hour of time and the precise and delicate crafting of 29 different cutting tools. After nano molding, 3D abrasive blasting, anodic oxidation and other 35 procedures, comes the exquisite andextraodinary internal design of the phone’s body. Every detail of the body is carefully trimmed toprovide comfortable and excellent holding experience. And owing to its aircraft aluminum, the phone is more durable than most of other phones on the market. Unlike the early iPhone 6, it is hard to bend the phone with your bare hands.
3. Finger Print Scanner
On the back of the phone, a finger print scanner is drawing attention. Like the Google Nexus 6P, the sensor on S2 can activate the phone without pressing power button. Just place your finger on the scanner; the phone will unlock itself automatically. And it only takes 0.2 second. What’s more, it can be used as a dedicated camera shutter. When taking photo, just touch the sensor and you will get a picture. And when playing music, you can also use the sensor to control your music playback.
4. Other Features
Except all the features mentioned above, Discovery S2 still has a lot more to offer. It is shipped with Android 5.1. But the phone allows app permission setting and schedule of power on and off. Intelligent power saving mode and super power saving mode make the 3200mah battery last much longer than you imagine. There is no need to worry about power usage. Moreover, there are screen-on guetures and screen-off gestures(also known as smart wakeup). For instance, you can double click home button to lock your phone in any interface and slide three fingers down to take a screenshot. And when the screen is off, you can draw on the screen to launch certain apps like drawing C to activate dailer, M to music. Hotknot allows data exchange when the screen touches another device. Air shuffle can control your gallery, launcher, music, and camera just by waving your hand without touch the screen.
5. Price
Above all, the Discovery S2 only costs about $260. When you look for a phone with 3D, finger print scanner, unibody aluminum design, 5.5-inch FHD LG IPS display, 3200mah battery, and many many more features. it is hardto see a phone with all of these at $260. For example, the Nexus 6P costs at least $499 and the iPhone 6s plus costs $749, which are not usually affordable for many people. Nowadays, price and difference are the main measurement todecide whether a phone is worth buying or not. And Discovery S2 probably seems to live up tothese expections. At present , the phone is going on presale. Holiday season is coming,do you think the Discovery S2 can be your choice of gifts?
