Ekonic Justice League Smartphone First Impressions

Ekotek’s Ekonic, in partnership with DC Comics, has recently launched the Justice League smartphone, and it is their latest addition to their Justice League themed gadgets.

This is an entry-level smartphone with decent specs and a flashy design. It has a 5.5-inch IPS display with a 1280 x 720 resolution. Placed above it is the 5MP front camera and LED indicator for notifications. Below are the capacitive buttons for navigation.

Located on the right side are the power and volume control buttons.

The left side and bottom area are devoid of any buttons.

The top area houses the USB port and the 3.5 mm headphone port.

Located at the back is the 8MP Auto-focus f/1.8 rear camera with LED flash. The loudspeaker is located on the back panel as well. Dominant here is the DC Comics art which is one of the highlights of the phone.

Upon opening the back case of the phone, you can see the removable 2500mAh battery with custom artwork. Above it is the microSD card slot and the dual micro-sim card slots.

Here are the sample pictures of both the rear and front camera.

On the hands, the smartphone feels a bit heavy because of its 170-gram weight but it has a smooth feeling on the back. It also has an 8.66mm thickness which is relatively average for an entry level smartphone.

I’ve been using this phone for three months and I have no complaints about it except for some malware which (I think) is my fault but it was resolved through installing a reliable security/antivirus app. Now that it is taken care of, I would rate give Ekonic’s Justice League Smartphone a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars since it serves its purpose.

If you’re looking a phone with an effortlessly cool/cute exterior even if you’re not a DC fan that can do the basic things a smartphone is expected to do i.e. texting, calling, messaging, browsing, casual games and the like, then this would be a great phone.

Tbh, I’m a busybody loner so I don’t take a lot of photos or go online. I usually use my phone to contact people whom I have transactions with, keep tabs on my to do list, write notes, take quick snaps of a doc, etc. If you’re the type of phone user like me, then you can definitely enjoy using Ekonic JL.

However, there are some drawback to this phone. The photo and video quality is “okay” but for photo addicts, I’m sure it would disappoint you especially with the release of affordable camera phones. Audio recording is on the below average. Also sound quality when making calls is a bit soft. Sometimes I have a hard time hearing when I am outdoors or in a noisy place.
