Archos Diamond Omega Price And Full Specification

By -






Introduction
Not exactly a household name, at least not outside of a few core European markets, Archos has been around for a few years on the smartphone scene with mixed success. A partnership with Nubia (a ZTE-owned smartphone maker) has recently allowed them to bolster their portfolio with Archos-branded Nubia phones. Nubia has been known for their premium products, forward-thinking designs, and innovative engineering so who knows, maybe that’s exactly what the French company needed to make a better name for itself on the European market.

Either way, this is how the Archos Diamond Omega came to be and it is no secret that the handset is a re-branded ZTE Nubia Z17s. We've been paying close attention to recent Nubia releases, especially in the flagship tier, so it made sense to have a look at the Archos Diamond Omega/Nubia Z17s in detail as soon as we were given the opportunity.


We'll probably continue using the Archos and Nubia model names interchangeably throughout the review since it really is the exact same phone, both hardware and software-wise. And like the very name suggests, the Z17s is very similar to the Nubia Z17, which we recently reviewed.

Archos Diamond Omega/Nubia Z17s key features:

Body: Corning Gorilla Glass front, curved glass back, metal frame





Screen: 5.73" LTPS IPS LCD, 1080x2040px resolution (17:9)

Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 chipset: octa-core 4x2.45GHz Kryo & 4x1.9GHz Kryo; Adreno 540 GPU

Memory: 6GB/8GB of RAM, 64GB/128GB of inbuilt storage

OS: Android 7.1; Nubia UI 5.0

Rear camera: Dual: 12 MP (f/1.8, 1/2.55", 1.4µm, Dual Pixel PDAF) + 23MP (f/2.0); PDAF; dual-LED, dual-tone flash

Front camera: Dual 5MP, f/2.2

Misc: Fingerprint sensor on the rear; DTS-HD audio

Main shortcomings

No memory expansion slot

No 3.5mm audio jack

No stereo speakers

It seems the Nubia design team is yet another one to embrace the ultra-wide trend. With so many tall displays we've seen these past few months, it's hardly the novelty anymore that helps a phone stand out. You know what we mean even if you somehow missed this. However, we do have to note that in a bid for originality, or driven by different, undisclosed reasons, Archos / Nubia don't conform to the widespread 18:9 standard. Instead, the phone's screen has a 17:9 aspect and 1080 x 2040px resolution.

There is no obvious reason for this display size: the Archos Diamond Omega has no home button on its amply sized chin. There is a pair of selfie cams above the display this time around but we can't see how the extra lens called for the odd aspect ratio. We just have to assume that Nubia wanted a slightly different take on the new trend, not a bad thing in a sea of increasingly similar devices.





If nothing else, it definitely caught our attention. Follow along as we find out what makes the Archos Diamond Omega tick and just how different it is from the Nubia Z17

The Biggest Relationship Issues Couples Will Face And How To Tackle Them

Successful relationships face up to the reality of life. The partners do not hide behind a façade, neither do they make up their own reality of life. Life is as it is. What you see may not agree with your innermost fantasies, but what is what there is. You cannot confess away your reality neither can you hide from it. You must look at it in the face if you want your relationship to succeed. Related post: 6 Ways To Have More Fun In Your Long-Term Relationship There may be some areas in your partner's personality that don't just make sense to you. Instead of living in denial, telling yourself that he or she will change with time, tell yourself that this is who he or she wish is. If he or she changes, good, but if not, you are prepared to live with him or her for the rest of your life. You may decide to live in fantasy and tell yourself that your partner is going through a phase , he or she will outgrow such behavior (you wish). Holding on to such unrealistic expectation will...

Being aware of the fact that the entire CAPS(central admission processing system) process is still all new to JAMB candidates, most student may not see the need of visiting the portal at all, I for one has seen series cases whereby student tell themselves in various social media platform to forget about CAPS, in case you don’t know they are consequences when you decide not to accept your admission status on CAPS. The jamb registrar made it clear during the intensive briefing on CAPS that all student should/must visit  JAMB CAPS  after being given provisional admission by their institution of choice. For brief summary of JAMB intensive lecture  CLICK HERE . Candidates are expected to note that the time frame for accepting/rejecting admission is 2-3 days, therefore candidates should ensure to visit the CAPS portal as often as possible, probably daily, though I can’t say for sure what happens when that time elapse but to be on a safer side I would advise yo...
