The phone is made up of plastic giving mate finish and the structure is finger print resistant. The back cover of the device can be removed and can be replaced with different colors back covers. But the battery cannot be replaced. At the top of the screen is the front camera with sensor and the speaker while at the bottom of it is the three navigation keys. The back holds the 8MP rear camera and the bottom of the back holds the speaker grille. Towards the very bottom of the device is the charging slot along with the microphone while the power button and the volume rockers are located towards the right side. At the top is the 3.5mm audio jack.

OS and Tech

The device is preloaded with Android V4.3 jelly Beans which is tough an old OS. On the top of this OS is the company’s own customized user interface which works perfectly fine. The performance of the device is also very smooth with the support of powerful processor and there is quite good amount of multitasking being carried out in the device.

Camera and Multimedia

The rear camera is 8MP in this device which comes with LED flash along with many features like panorama, autofocus, HDR, smile/face detection and others. The performance of the camera is above average and the daytime images are classic. The nighttime photography is even not bad especially with the support of the LED flash but still there are lack of details in nighttime images along with little shakiness. The front camera works ok for the selfies and the video calls tough it lacks clarity too. The back camera is capable of recoding videos which are of better quality than the still images.

Battery and Memory

The battery is the exclusive part of OneTouch Pop S9. It comes up with 3400mAh battery which can easily provide 23hrs of talk time on the 4G and it can last for two full days without being charged. But the larger the battery is, the more time it takes to get fully recharged. Coming towards the memory, this device has 1GB RAM and the built-in storage is 8GB which can be further expanded up to 32GB with the help of microSD card. The memory is large enough to support as many apps as a user wants but it was expected that the extension should have been up to 64-128GB and hope this may come true in future.

Verdict

Comparing this device with its competitors generates really interesting results. Sony Xperia E3 which almost has the same features as this one but the screen on the latter is lower than this one along with other limitations such as the internal storage where the later has 4GB internal storage and the Alcatel OneTouch Pop S9 has 8GB internal storage. This device is quite handsome for almost every app and works fine for every user. The decision on what to buy is solely of the user after analyzing multiple aspects of any handset.
