Want a luxury phone? Take this one. The new Lamborghini Alpha-One is a new opulence smartphone and is made by Italian black leather with an accompanying phone case, made by leather also.
Directly, it is a high-end device that packs a 5.5-inch Wide QHD display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for adding the protection of the screen. Specs-wise, it carries a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, built-in four cores of Kryo CPU and is backed up with 64GB of native storage, plus 4GB RAM. Additionally, there’s microSD card that shares on the second-SIM slot of the phone and it supports up to 128GB capacity.
At the camera, there’s 20-megapixel rear lens and an 8-megapixel shooter. For audio, there’s a dedicated DAC and ADC for hi-fi audio sound recording and playback, the AKM 4961 and AKM 4490 amplifier. Further, it has dual front speakers, made by Dolby Atmos Digital Surround. A fingerprint scanner for security purposes is located on the back panel.
Disappointingly, a charger is not included in the retail charger; hence, it is sold separately. All in all, it is basically the rebranded ZTE Axon 7 on all features, except that the phone is cheaper and a charger is on the box.
