2015-01-07
a 21 megapixel camera front firing Harman Kardon speakers a removable 3100 milliamp hour battery and a whopping 320 gigabytes of storage and that's not even scratching the water resistant surface i'm michael fisher with pocket now and this is a quick look at the spec beast of CES the saygus v-squared specs aren't everything but don't tell Sega's they've taken the one-plus approach to smartphone design packing in every possible hardware feature to make this smartphone standout in some cases that's thanks to novel implementations of existing features Sega's achieved that 320 gig capacity with tandem microSD cards combined with an on-board 64 gig reservoir it's fingerprint scanner sits on the right edge instead of up front as usual the radios use a fractal antenna array for increased reception and the screen backlight is automatically adjusted by not one but two ambient light sensors front and back elsewhere things get a little more conventional but no less impressive Gorilla Glass 4 cover glass and IR transmitter Qi wireless charging a 21 megapixel camera with sharp sensor on the back and a 13 megapixel selfie camera up front and get this both cameras are optically stabilized the phone does have compromises the 5-inch display is full HD not quad HD I don't mind that actually it's probably a better call in terms of battery life but the phone's chunky industrial design won't be for everyone this early hardware doesn't feel too rugged in the hand maybe because it's so lightweight and also some of the more extravagant claims concerning the abilities of the fractal antenna technology seem well extravagant Android 5 isn't here yet as you can see but it along with out of the box root access are promised shortly after release any time a new small manufacturer promises such an ambitious product it's a good idea to temper your expectations a bit still with a spec sheet this dense and some features I wasn't even able to mention that this phone comes to market on time this spring it's bound to be very compelling to a specific market segment based on what we've heard behind the scenes the V squared might ship for $500 unlocked with possible carrier deal to be announced in the coming months for much more in smartphones tablets and wearables from CES 2015 in Las Vegas be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel and follow us on social media at the links in the description below for Jaime Rivera Hyatt or Houston and all of pocket now I'm Michael Fisher we'll see you next time
