The Year 2016: A Breakthrough for Chinese Brands in Nepal's Market

2016 has been the year in which many Chinese brands have entered the Nepali market, joining the likes of Oppo and others. One such brand that has gained attention is Jopo, a company that has launched its products in Nepal this year. Evertech Private Limited, a subsidiary of Apex Group, serves as the authorized distributor of Jopo phones in Nepal.

A Closer Look at Two Jopo Phones: Color F2 and F5

In this article, we will take a closer look at two phones from Jopo's Color series: Color F2 and F5. Although both phones belong to the same color series, they have some differences in design. Both phones feature brush plastic and metal frames along with AES. However, they have distinct features that set them apart.

One of the main differences between the two phones is the screen size. The Color F2 has a larger display of 5.5 inches, while the F5 has a smaller 5-inch screen. Despite their differing sizes, both displays have the same resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. Additionally, the white balance on both phones can be quite poor when tilted.

Both phones are powered by the MTK 6737 quad-core processor, which is a common feature among budget smartphones. The performance of both phones is comparable to other budget options in this range. However, the F5 has an advantage over the Color F2 due to its faster and more responsive hardware, thanks to its 1GB RAM compared to the 512MB RAM of the Color F2.

Camera Performance: A Mixed Bag

The rear camera on both phones is identical, with a resolution of 8MP. However, the front camera on the Color F2 has only 2MP, which can be considered subpar. In contrast, the F5 boasts a 5MP front camera, making it more suitable for taking selfies.

In terms of camera performance, both phones have their strengths and weaknesses. The rear cameras on both phones are capable of capturing decent photos indoors, but they struggle with noise and graininess, especially when taken outdoors. Video recording capabilities are also limited, with the highest resolution being 720p. Overall, it's essential to be patient and willing to compromise when using these cameras.

Loudspeaker Performance: Adequate, but Not Exceptional

The loudspeaker on both phones is not exceptional, as expected from a budget smartphone. However, they do get the job done, allowing for basic phone calls and music playback without any significant issues. It's worth noting that some Chinese smartphones with custom RS (RealSound) technology often feature better loudspeakers.

Phone Boot-Up and Interface: A Step Backwards

Jopo phones boot up with a version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which may seem outdated compared to newer versions like Android 10 or 11. The interface also features capacity buttons without a dedicated home button, which can make navigation feel less responsive. Additionally, app switching is not as fast as it should be, and notification lights are missing altogether.

Battery Life: A Mixed Bag

The battery life of both phones is an area that requires improvement. While the larger Color F2 has a 2300mAh battery, which may seem substantial for a budget smartphone, it's essential to consider the screen size and overall performance when assessing its durability. In contrast, the smaller F5 has only 2100mAh, which might not be enough to power the phone through an entire day.

Fingerprint Sensor: A Surprising Feature

One feature that caught our attention is the fingerprint sensor on both phones. Initially, we thought they were just a gimmick, but they actually work well most of the time. This feature allows for convenient biometric security and can even be used to open apps like camera, music player, Chrome, and file manager directly from the lock screen by drawing.

Dual-SIM Support: Available, But with Caveats

Both phones support dual SIM functionality, which means users can have two separate phone numbers or use one number for work and another for personal use. However, the call quality is average, and there are distortions present in the audio.

Choosing Between Color F2 and F5: Our Recommendation

If we had to choose between these two phones, we would recommend going with the Jopo Color F5. Its 1GB RAM provides better performance compared to its competitor, which makes a significant difference in real-world usage. Additionally, the F5's larger screen resolution and higher front camera resolution make it more suitable for photography and selfies.

While both phones have their strengths and weaknesses, the Jopo Color F5 stands out as a slightly better option for those looking for a budget smartphone. However, if you're looking for an even more affordable option, the Color F2 might be worth considering despite its limitations.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Jopo Color series offers two distinct options: the larger and higher-resolution Color F2 and the smaller and faster Color F5. While both phones have their strengths and weaknesses, they ultimately cater to different needs and preferences.
