Having since making an impression at IFA in Berlin, TP-Link a name most will be accustomed with in networking and smart home connectivity equipment, launched a series of smartphones this year that caught the attention of the global audience. Under the brand name Neffos, we saw the C5 and C5 Max introduced mid this year and the company went on to release new a flagship with the X series in Berlin. Keeping with the momentum on the steady line-up, another budget friendly model Neffos Y5 is being introduced suitably for the price conscious Malaysians who are feeling the pinch at the moment and the recent budget announcement on tax breaks for devices.
Not to be fooled by the extremely affordable price of RM449, the device which TP Link assembles and builds under the watchful supervision of the team that also makes the best networking router and Wifi-adapter, the Y5 does not fall short in quality and performance.
“We believe it is timely for us to bring the Neffos Y5 series into the local market, in light of the few incentives highlighted in the recently tabled Budget 2017 on the purchase of smartphones, which Malaysians can enjoy beginning 2017. said Hugo Chai, Country Manager TP Link Malaysia.
Details That Matter
Powering the unit is a Qualcomm quad-core processor running at 1.3GHz and 2GB of RAM, storage space is accommodated with 16GB of ROM and 32GB expandable storage. Camera on the Y5 is modest but good enough to take decent pictures, with its 8-megapixel rear camera that has LED flash for low-light shots and videos, a 2-megapixel is in the front.
The 5″ HD display, Android 6.0 smartphone supports ultra-fast 4G-LTE with dual-SIM-with-dual-standby functionality which mean it can manage two SIM cards simultaneously.
For those looking for a pocket friendly and yet not get frustrated with lack of performance can opt for Neffos Y5 which is available in black and white colours pricing at RM449. In trusting the quality, the phones have a two-year warranty programme with a one-on-one device exchange for damages beyond repair within the first three months of purchase.
