Launched
earlier this week in Kenya by Midcom Fero Iris targets to gain market
share against players TECNO , Samsung and Infinix.
Fero Iris comes with a 5-inch HD display with a 1GB RAM and is powered by a 2500mAh battery. The phone retails at KES 8,999.
Key Specs :Fero Iris has Dimensions 1.44729.0mm. it has
Dual sim slots and 5.0 inch HD IPS Display.its android version of Android 6.0 Mediatek MTK6737 and
1.3GHZ Quad Core as well 1 GB RAM make it exclusively cheap compared to other key competitors phones with the same specs. Fero Iris has an Internal storage of 8GB
The Fero Iris comes with a plastic body which might trick one into thinking it’s of metallic build thanks to the aluminium looking back cover. In fact Fero really wanted people to think it’s metallic that they even added faux brushed surface on the back cover. Fortunately, the ‘brushed’ texture, enhances the grip of the phone.
On the front we have a 5.0 inch IPS display of 720p, otherwise called HD, resolution. That might not sound much but my goodness that screen is beautiful! The colors are very punchy, at first I even thought that the screen was AMOLED when it was being unveiled on stage. I think the display alone is enough to persuade buyers to settle on this phone it’s not only saturated, but also bright too; you can use it under bright sunlight without legibility issues. The only caveat with the display is that it gets oily smudges really fast.
Fero Iris comes with a Mediatek 6737, it’s a quad core 64 bit chip that uses four A53 cores coupled with 1 GB RAM. This setup can easily handle a HD screen with no lag as evidenced from the hands on moment we had, however, people looking for hardcore gaming should look elsewhere. Nonetheless, we are going to try some gaming in preparation for the main review and report the findings.
The OS running things in Fero Iris is the android 6.0. Honestly, no phone being launched at 2017 should come with anything less than android 7.0 nougat, in fact android 7.1 is already running on other phones, it’s a let down from Fero. On a happy note, the OS on the Iris is basically stock with a light launcher skin that does not have an app drawer. Going stock keeps things running lean and smooth, but it also makes you wonder what excuse Fero has for not just booting android 7.0 stock right out of the box, its not like they needed time to tweak the interface.
Battery life :Iris comes with a 2500 mAH battery which is small in today’s standards. However, the A53 cores in it have proven to be power efficient in other phones. At the launch event, the battery levels decreased at a low rate so that’s a good sign. We will put the phone under rigorous use and update you on battery matters in the full review.
The Iris Scanner :one of the most amazing features of the Fero Iris , as its name suggest, is the ability to unlock the phone with the eyes (iris) During its launch , the head of Fero demonstrated, multiple times, how to unlock the phone with the eyes. The Fero Iris responded positively it even works with people wearing glasses. this is quite a remarkable achievement from such an affordable phone.
