#Hisense C30 review - first impressions make lasting impressions

The new Hisense C30 Rock is a masterpiece!

I fell in love with the phone the very moment I laid my eyes on it. The packaging is designed in a creative way that explains the product to the consumer. It has details of dust and water 'screaming' away from the phone. Yes that's right - the Hisense C30 rock is dust and water proof.



It also comes in a very neat slim design that makes you want to hold onto it for eternity. As dearly as you would hold onto it, this gadget can succumb to anything. I'm talking about dropping it, sweeping dust onto it, plunging it in water. It is able to handle the 'abuse' we put our phones through everyday as it boasts of a corning Gorilla glass 4.

Well the wise always adhere to the notion of never judging a book by its cover, so I put the phone to test. Does it really perform the way it should?

The results were incredible!

...Processing speed is like walking in the park

Running on the December 2016 released Android 7 (Nougat), this gem of a phone boasts of  32GB storage, 3GB RAM, an octa-core 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. All these features make it easy to multi task without slowing down its performance. I was able to write my articles while music played in the background and at the same time two items were downloading from separate bowsers.

...The camera redefines selfies and 'cut throat' pics

I have always had problems with taking selfies. Not because I'm a bad camera person (hide face), but because most smart phones come with front camera's that aren't up to scratch.

Hisense seemingly found a gap in the market and included a cute 5MP front camera that does wonders. It gives you the power to garnish your social media accounts with great pics tailored by you.

So if the front camera is 5MP then . The rear camera is an astounding 16MP. YES SIXTEEN!!! Now it means you won't just have a smartphone, you will automatically become a ' photo journalist'.





...Dolby gives sound the extra oomph!

I have often found myself watching a movie on my phone and not feeling it simply because of the sound. Yes sound does play a crucial role when it comes to enjoying a movie. The Hisense C30 Rock comes with

...Fast charging will rock you

The Hisesnse C30 rock comes packed with a 3000mAh battery. But wait till you hear this, it only takes about two hours to fully charge it. Depending on how often you use your phone, the battery can die out after two days. How great is that when load shedding strikes?

...Some cool tech features

The smartphone sensors measure physical quantities and transmit them to the application processor. The phones's accelerometer is a built-in electronic component that measures tilt and motion. The proximity sensor detects when a user is holding the phone near their face during a call and turns off the display to prevent keypad presses and battery consumption from the display. The C30 has Dual SIM capability, which means that you can insert two different SIM cards and use them both from one phone.

.... Just R4499 for a modern smartphone, hmmm

The pricing is alright if you really want a strong phone that will walk you past several years.

Well, everything exciting about this phone can't be concluded in one article so I will most certainly come up with a part two.
