O+ USA surprised a lot of folks by releasing its newest flagship smartphone just before the Christmas rush. It was a phone like no other O+ handsets we’ve seen before. Check out our full review of the O+ Imagine after the break.
O+ has been making almost similar-looking handsets since they started with but a few cosmetic changes and varying form factors. The O+ Imagine is something different.
They used a glass-on-glass design in a metallic chassis, similar to what we’ve seen before with the iPhone 4, Optimus G and Nexus 4.
Design and Construction.
At only 7.8mm, the Imagine is one of the thinnest smartphones we’ve seen around — slightly thicker than the iPhone 5S at 7.6mm and a hair thinner compared to the Galaxy S4 at 7.9mm.
The chassis is made up of some sort of anodized aluminum alloy with the front and back sides all fully covered with tempered glass.
The rounded top and bottom edges are designed with some type of solid polycarbonate material, perhaps to allow the internal antennas to function better and without interference.
The volume controls are on the left side while the power button is on the right side with the micro-SIM card slot. The 3.5mm audio port is at the top along with the micro-USB port for charging and wired data transfer.
The back side is also covered with some type of tempered glass, dotted with the 13MP camera at the farthest top corner along with the LED flash and a small O+ logo below it.
There are two microphones, one at the bottom and the other at the top end, for calling and noise-cancellation.
Obviously, the front and back sides of the phone is a smudge and finger-print magnet, an inherent disadvantage of premium glass-lined designs like the Imagine.
Display.
The Imagine sports a 5-inch, full HD 1080p display with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, giving it a pixel density of 441ppi.
While it is not publicly promoted, the O+ Imagine uses an AMOLED type display, offering the same deep, dark contrast, crispness and high level of brightness. However, on direct sunlight or in the outdoors, screen visibility degrades a bit despite cranking the brightness to maximum.
Nevertheless, a 5-inch full HD 1080p display is among the best we’ve seen around — great for gaming or watching movies and photos.
OS, Apps and UI.
The O+ Imagine is powered by Android 4.2 Jellybean. With the quad-core processor and the generous 2GB of RAM, the over-all experience is smooth, snappy and responsive. You also have access to over a million apps and games in the Google Play Store.
O+ made a few customization to the Android UI with their own set of icons and widgets. They’re pretty simple yet doesn’t look inspiring. Either they need to go back to the drawing board and redo the UI or just stick it out with vanilla Android which is more appealing to users. Nevertheless, you always have to option to change the look and feel of the interface by downloading your favorite launcher from Google Play Store.
What’s unusual and surprising is that the touch buttons found at the bottom end of the front panel is represented by a strip of LED light that breathes in idle mode, lights up during SMS and calls and blinks when you touch them.
Takes a little bit of getting used to, especially if you’re not familiar with Android, but the Home, Back and Menu soft buttons are just a space apart in that LED strip.
The virtual numpad and keyboard are pretty basic and simple. The screen is responsive but the slim keys on the full keyboard can be a bit tight especially if you don’t have nibble fingers.
O+ added a few other gesture functions to the Imagine like Air Shuffle and double-tap (the middle of the LED strip) to wake or sleep (almost same idea we saw with the LG G2).
Multimedia and Camera.
The phone’s multimedia capabilities are all dependent on the display and audio quality as well as hardware performance and usability. First, the slim and light profile makes the Imagine an ideal portable media device.
The 5-inch screen with full HD resolution is ideal for watching TV series or movies, even streaming over YouTube or UStream. The audio quality is decent; not that great but usable. The speakers are positioned at the back and is loud enough for music playback. However, we prefer you using the Sennheiser earphones that came bundled with it.
The 13-megapixel rear camera take really good photos and videos. There’s some minor focusing issues and problems with low light but the performance under good lighting conditions are of good quality.
Same is true with the 5MP front-facing camera.
Here are sample photos we took with the O+ Imagine.
[fancygallery id=”62″ album=”65″]
Here are sample full HD clips taken with the camera (you’ll need to tick the 1080p setting sin YouTube to stream properly).
The O+ Imagine came bundled with a Sennheiser in-ear earphones which is also a bonus if you’re very particular with the earphones that came with the handset.
Performance and Benchmarks.
The O+ Imagine did pretty well in most of the tasks and stress tests we placed it on except for a few instances when the gaming experience is somewhat diminished because of the low frame rates.
This is due to the fact that the display has full HD resolution and the graphics engine, a PowerVR SGX 544MP, is just not powerful enough to push that many pixels at the same time to give us a smooth frame rate.
Benchmark test with Quadrant Standard gave it score 5,763; for Antutu Benchmark, it scored a good 15,502 points.
The low score of 34.2fps on Nenamark2 is due to the full HD resolution (we reckon it should be near to 60fps on a 720p display).
Vellamo tests showed a 1,573 score on HTML5 and 539 on Metal.
We’ve always seen these type of results when you combine a quad-core Mediatek chip with a 1080p resolution display. The frame rates tend to suffer and becomes evident when playing intensive games.
Call Quality, Connectivity and Battery Life.
The handset worked well with the normal voice and text functions. Calls are clear and loud, SMS are sent and receive on time. We did not have any troubles with the micro-SIM as it’s practically the standard size of most flagship handsets around.
As for connectivity, the O+ Imagine has all the basics covered — 3G, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS. What is lacking is NFC and LTE support, although the latter is much more important to us.
Using our standard battery bench of running a full HD movie in a loop at 50% brightness and 0% volume, we manage to get up to 9 hours on the device. Impressive feat considering it only has a 2,000mAh battery capacity. However, once you use it with mobile connectivity, the battery life degrades much faster at around 6 to 7 hours.
Conclusion.
O+ has a really good contender with the Imagine. It’s a pretty solid smartphone with a unique design and premium materials, packaged with a very good set of hardware. The lack of key features like LTE, NFC and microSD card is somewhat excusable at its price range but we were really hoping they could lower the price just a little bit more. In any case, we believe the Imagine with definitely change the image of O+ as a handset-maker.
The O+ Imagine has a suggested retail price of Php18,990 and is available in dealer stores nationwide.

garage door repair says:
Instead of selecting a repair business which is
new, it is recommended that you contact a business that has been in this field for decades
and is well versed in repairing, installing, and replacing various models and makes
of door openers. They can create platforms for different attacks, so that when a
malicious program finally succeeds in gaining access through the firewall, it will
become very difficult to tell where the firewall weakness is located and
what needs to be done to get rid of that weakness.
Over the years, the garage door opener continuously improved to
feature automatic courtesy lights that turn on when the door opens (or via motion sensors) and
automatically turn off after a preset time delay.

auto Tracking says:
WHEN your pride and joy is stolen you always hope you’ll see it again. Tracking
services naturally boost the chances of recovery, but one lucky bike owner has Bike Trac and
Interpol to thank for the return of their prized
possession after a particularly lengthy search.
Taken on a Monday evening from South London, the £12,000 Ducati 899 Panigale was quickly confirmed as stolen thanks to the equipped Bike Trac unit communicating
with its owner and the firm’s operating centre.
Despite everyone’s best efforts the bike crossed the English
Channel before UK police could reach it. However, a mixture of
GPS signal and the triangulation of mobile phone masts across Europe allowed Bike Trac to
keep an eye on its movements.
Now Tuesday and with the bike in Lithuania, the tracking team
traced it to the town of Vilnius. The following day, and with the help of Interpol, local Lithuanian authorities moved in and secured
the stolen bike.
Commenting on the operation, Sue Hitchmough,
General Manager for Bike Trac parent company Road Angel Group, said: “To recover a stolen motorcycle over 1,000 miles away is no better example of the effectiveness of tracking technology. This is naturally a huge success for us, but it’s also a great example to everyone that tracking really does work.
“I’d like to personally thank everyone involved in this recovery from our team at HQ to Interpol and to the Lithuanian authorities. It’s very pleasing to know so many people want to stamp out bike theft.”
Johan Kessler says:
With this pricing scheme, O+ will be gone from the market in a year or two, mark my words. They are a new company with an unproven track record trying to compete with established, respected brands. What are they thinking?? They can’t be a newcomer to the scene and price their products on-par with the latter and expect to survive as a company.
The whole ‘USA’ b.s. is to give an aura of prestige but (most) consumers are not fooled and the few who are, still won’t be enough to keep their business afloat, up against stiff competition by established brands. People will just shrug and buy a Sammy, LG, Lenovo, Sony, etc. I would buy a comparably-specced major brand, even if it cost a little more, long before I’d consider giving my hard-earned to an upstart with no proven track record.
The way for such a company to compete, establish, and pull ahead is to do it on PRICE–especially in a market like the Philippines, with cost-conscious consumers facing a vast array of well-known choices–which O+ haven’t from Day One. When they’ve been around long enough to have gained sufficient market share and reputation, then and only then can such pricing scheme be justified (as we are now beginning to see with the other ‘local’ brands–and make no mistake, O+ is one, too–‘USA’ hype notwithstanding). Prestige is earned, by being the best of everything, and takes time. It can’t be bought.

Pipoy says:
Looks fine but i agree with most of the people here, although i have an O+ phone (8.15), i won’t recommend buying this for 18k even if there are accessories included with it. Why? no LTE, battery capacity too low, Jelly Bean 4.2??, no memory card slot and no usb OTG support to name a few. Don’t get me wrong, the design is high quality, specs are great but not enough to justify the 18k price, so even if i have that kind of money perhaps i’ll just add more and get a branded phone instead. But this one’s not bad at all… it just fall short of what’s expected at least on an 18k package. Cheers
Pft says:
“However, once you use it with mobile connectivity, the battery life degrades much faster at around 6 to 7 hours.”
6-7 hours, 2000mah?
its really hard to believe you can juice 7 hours of batt life with 5inch FHD quad core device WITH MOBILE CONNECTIVITY. unless of course, you turn on data and have the phone on standby 90% of the time.
AND
“The lack of key features like LTE, NFC and microSD card is somewhat excusable at its price range…”
EXCUSABLE? wow. 19k and you consider it excusable?
i dont see it being excusable at all.
poor review. very poor review.

i agree w/ you and i don’t know anyone who will buy this phone at this very very very expensive price..i’d rather buy global/known brands w/ better specs and worthy price..

It obviously seems like they took inspiration from the looks of Huawei P6. Same price range.
tmcr7 says:
But guys, even if it’s a bit pricey, do keep in mind that it comes bundled with a free casing, screen protector, and Sennheiser earphones. I think the value of the accessories is around 3k din. Wala ka nang hahanapin pa. Nasa loob na ng kahon lahat ng kailangan mo.

Hindi naman sa kinakampihan ko si Abuzalzal ah, pero I think he is right about the price of this phone even though that O+ is not popular they are still putting a high price tag on their smartphones. Kung ako merong ganyan na pera magdadagdag nalang ako ng 5k php para makabili ng high end branded phone. Kaso happy na me sa Sony XSP ko kaya wag na.

magbasa ka kasi hampaslupa ka.
kung mag-comment ka akala mo alam mo lahat e puro hula ka lang naman.

I think you did not read out Conclusion part “The lack of key features like LTE, NFC and microSD card is somewhat excusable at its price range but we were really hoping they could lower the price just a little bit more”.

You missed my point
Nexus 5 has an SRp of Php20,990 sa KStore
Would you rather skimp and get this no-name ”I wannabe like Asus or Lenovo” piece of shit company.
OR konting dagdag na lang for a reputable handset maker?
Justin says:
Where is the Nexus 5 available at P19K? Last time I checked, the N5 still costs around P22k.

i just ran Nenamark2 on my Lenovo P780, newly rebooted and in airplane mode.
it has the same graphics chip as this phone but with a 720p display.
it scored 44.3 fps.
43.9 fps if not rebooted for 160 hours.
