IMO, the UK-based challenger mobile brand from Verve Connect, today announced a number of key smartphones that will be launched in the second half of 2018 to complement the current range.
The new smartphones, IMO Q2 Plus, IMO Q3 Plus and IMO S2, will focus on delivering 4G connectivity, ensuring high speed accessibility and best in class performance for the “value seeking consumers”. The introduction of these devices continues the company’s emphasis on providing the “best value” mobile devices at prices accessible to everyone.
All three devices will feature the new Andriod Go platform ensuring fast speeds and the lastest on-device experience. To further support the user experience, IMO is strengthening the partnership with chipset vendors Spreadrum and MediaTek and looking to develop new capability for future devices.
The first in the range, the IMO Q2 Plus, is an entry level smartphone that comes with 1GB RAM & 8GB ROM managed by a 1.4 GHz processor. It has a 4” WVGA screen, 2MP rear & 2MP front cameras, and a strong 1500 mAh battery. The second of the trio is the IMO Q3 Plus, this steps up a level and benefits from a great design as well as a 5” 18:9 edge to edge display, 5MP front & rear cameras, and a 2000 mAh battery.
The final smartphone is from the higher tier IMO S series called IMO S2. This 4G device features a 5” HD IPS screen, 13MP rear & 5MP front cameras, 1GB RAM & 16GB ROM, 1.3GHz processor and is powered by a 2200 mAh battery. The device also offers extra security via a rear finger print security scanner.
With strong design and great features, IMO will provide customers with a smartphone experience focused on their needs, delivering market-leading value backed by IMO’s excellent aftersales support. The expected RRP for these devices range from £40 through to £100.
“Our new additions to the IMO portfolio continue to deliver a combination of high quality, relevant consumer technologies and affordability that raise the bar for sub £100 smartphones” said Chris Edwards, European Business Development Director from IMO. “It’s great news that our new smartphones have been well received and we have seen strong interest on the new range from new channels as well as our existing partners.
