Remember back in May when we talked about that cool Altek Leo 3.5G smartphone? We knew many of the details of the phone back then, but we didn’t have an idea when the phone would hit the market for people to buy. Altek has issued the official PR for the smartphone and offered up the launch window for the smartphone.
The device will hit the market in Q1 2011 and Altek is looking for partners to bring the phone to market right now. In case you missed the details last time we spoke of the phone, it runs Android 2.1 and the best feature of the phone is its 14MP camera with 3x optical zoom.
Advanced Camera Capabilities
The standout feature of the Altek Leo 3.5G is undoubtedly its 14MP camera. This is not just any camera; it comes with a 3x optical zoom, which is quite rare for smartphones, especially those released around 2010. This optical zoom allows users to capture distant subjects with clarity and detail that digital zoom simply can’t match. Additionally, the camera is equipped with various shooting modes and settings, making it versatile for different photography needs. Whether you’re capturing landscapes, portraits, or macro shots, the Altek Leo 3.5G aims to deliver high-quality images.
Moreover, the phone can record 720p HD video, which was a significant feature at the time. This means users can capture high-definition videos, making it a handy device for both photography and videography enthusiasts. The ability to shoot HD videos complements the high-resolution camera, providing a comprehensive multimedia experience.
Display and Network Features
The Altek Leo 3.5G sports a 3.2-inch WVGA screen that supports multitouch. This screen size and resolution were quite standard for smartphones of that era, providing a decent display for viewing photos, videos, and browsing the web. The multitouch capability enhances the user experience, allowing for gestures like pinch-to-zoom, which is particularly useful when viewing photos taken with the high-resolution camera.
In terms of network capabilities, the phone runs on HSPA/WCDMA networks. This ensures that users can enjoy relatively fast mobile internet speeds, which is essential for uploading photos and videos to social media or cloud storage. The phone’s connectivity options make it a practical choice for users who need to stay connected on the go.
We still don’t know the price, but that would vary anyhow depending on subsidies. The phone should make for some serious on-the-go photos. Given its advanced camera features, the Altek Leo 3.5G could be a game-changer for mobile photography enthusiasts. It combines the convenience of a smartphone with the capabilities of a dedicated digital camera, offering a unique proposition in the market.
