Announcement. IIIF150 B1 and IIIF150 B1 Pro - cheap armored smartphones with two screens

IIIF150 B1 and IIIF150 B1 Pro smartphoneswere announced slowly and sadly, bit by bit. The first information about them appeared a very long time ago. And at what point they were declassified completely, I missed something. Maybe just yesterday. Or from a month ago? What's the difference. But the devices are quite curious in their own way, so you still need to talk about them.


IIIF150 B1

Smartphones are very similar. I see only three differences.

  • The older model has more permanent memory.
  • The older model has a stronger main camera.
  • The older model has a night camera.

IIIF150 B1 Pro

For some reason, the manufacturer calls IIIF150 B1 Profollower of its Bison 2021 (B2021) model the year before last. Well, yes. Both are rugged and have huge batteries. But that's where the similarity ends.

To the characteristics.

Before us are budget and very cheap (and, therefore, weak) protected devices.

With protection, everything is traditional. They talk about IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810G. Promised protection from water, dust, vibration, drops from one and a half meters. Operating temperature range - from -20 to + 55C.

The main feature of smartphones is an additionalinch screen placed on the back, next to the cameras. The characteristics of the screen are not specified. Whether it is touch-sensitive, whether it is colored, cannot be determined from the pictures. What can be deduced from it is also not yet clear. Looking forward to reviews.

The main screen is completely trivial. Diagonal 6.5 ″ (102 cm²), resolution 1080 × 2400 (405 ppi), no increased refresh rate.

Saved on iron. The low-power MediaTek Helio G37 chipset, so we expect only a little more than a hundred thousand points in AnTuTu.

With RAM, everything is fine, it is here as much as 6 GB. Permanent memory - 64 GB for the younger model and 128 GB for the older one. There is support for memory cards, but judging by the pictures, the tray here is hybrid.

The battery is great, 10000 mAh.Charging is not particularly fast, but still 18 watts. As usual, the battery capacity and protection came at the cost of weight and thickness. 356 grams and almost 17 millimeters respectively.

Cameras are modest. The front cameras have a resolution of 8 MP.The main rear camera is 48 MP for the IIIF150 B1 Pro and 20 MP for the younger model. Both devices have a macro camera. Additionally, B1 Pro has a night camera with infrared illumination (20 MP).

Other. There are NFC modules, Type-C, dual-band Wi-Fi. Fingerprint scanners are located on the side. Apparently, there is no standard audio output.

And about the price.A page dedicated to B1 and B1 Pro has already appeared on AliExpress. Judging by the banner, the start of sales is scheduled for August 22. If I interpret the banner correctly, then the younger model at the start of sales will cost only $109 (₽7410), while the older one will cost $159 (₽10800). Quite inexpensive for such funny devices, in my opinion.
