Orbic Slim + X - Factory Unlocked Phone - (Gold)

For what I paid as the black friday sale price, I'm tempted to give it 5 stars. If I had paid the regular price, I'd be thinking about giving it 3.Pros: It's incredibly thin and incredibly light (6.5mm thick and under 5 ounces to carry). The AMOLED screen is surprisingly vivid for the resolution and size. Though the MT6753 octocore processor is on the low end for 8 core chips, the fact this phone has 2bg RAM and ships with zero junkware makes it very responsive and fast even while multitasking. I'm going to repeat that last one: Pretty much all this has installed when you get it is Android 6 and the standard Google Apps. There's no manufacturer junkware. You will not spend a bunch of time uninstalling and disabling junk apps and you won't be fighting manufacturer installed apps that can't be uninstalled or disabled without rooting your phone or using an app manager... The MALI T720 GPU isn't necessarily all that impressive, but it performs surprisingly well in this configuration feeding the AMOLED at 1280X720. It handles 3d FPS games like NOVA3 flawlessly. The physical interface is simple having just 3 physical buttons and 3 touch sensitive buttons. The 13mp main camera is quite good with average to slightly better than average low light performance, and the camera app is pretty much like any other so casual cell phone photos won't disappoint. The 5mp user facing camera is pretty standard and good enough for video calls.Cons: The speaker is not great. It's really not great. It's OK for hands-free voice calls in a quiet room and that's about it. The speaker leaves a whole lot to be desired. You'll want to use headphones for music, watching video, or playing games because that speaker is really not very good. While I praised the image sharpness of the AMOLED screen in the "pros", the 1280X720 resolution is at least borderline of being a 'con' for a lot of users. There are a lot of phones in this price range that are full HD and higher. While we are talking about the display, it has a lot of bezel. Quite a lot of screen surface is wasted to that big white bezel. My screen on/off button is a little loose and rattles a bit. The battery is not user-replaceable. There is no LED notification indicator on the phone, so no visual notifications regarding charging or if you missed calls/messages. No fast charging of any sort. It charges at 1 amp period. There are no cases or screen protectors available for this phone yet. And, their website actually lists the case and screen protector for the other model phone they make as a "related item" to this one. Those are not "related items" to the Slim +X and they in no way fit this phone.Final thoughts: Battery life is a little above average as I'm getting 5+ hours of screen on time and/or a couple of days plus with just a few calls and text on the weekends. General use and productivity apps performance is very good. The multi-touch screen is just right as far as sensitivity and accuracy is concerned. Cell reception and my perceived call quality is average to good compared to other handsets I've had the last few years. WiFi performance is average to good and I probably should have listed this under the "pros" because the WiFi chip doesn't seem to heat the phone up very much even when doing bandwidth intensive activities. All in all, it's a good phone and a good performer across a pretty wide range of uses. I like it. There's quite a lot of competition in this price range these days and this phone is a good competitor for your money. If you're hoping for a small-ish handset (thin, light, and a little smaller than the current crop of "phablets") then this is an excellent choice.

Super Thin And Super FastA friend of mine has an Orbic phone and is very happy with it. I figured I would give it a try, too. I ordered the Orbic Slim + X. It is very lightweight and thin, which makes it easy to carry in my pocket. The screen is high quality and very responsive to my touch. Apps and videos download fast. I added a 64GB SD card for all of my photos and videos. Only real disappointment is there are no accessories available. But, I called the company and they advised they would be available soon. So, overall, I would recommend this phone.

I got this phone because it’s unlocked, dual SIM and a great price. I travel often and with the dual SIM I can have 2 carriers’ SIM cards ready to go so I always have service. Inserting the SIMs is a little tricky, but only has to be done once. I like the camera - it has some cool filters/effects.

No cases available yet and does get slow and freeze up sometimes , front camera looks grainy, back camera is great, volume without headphones is low when watching a video.but other than that good phone does just about everything.

This phone is awesome. The only downside has been that no one sells a protective case that I can put on it in case of an accident. x.x If anyone finds one that fits this model, please let me know!

I love this phone! It's great for the price! I have had no issues with bloatware. I wasn't real pleased with the fact that you can't load a nano SIM AND a microSD card at the same time bc they are on the same side of the card slot. You can load a small SIM card (just not the nano) & microSD card bc they are on opposite sides of the card slot. But the phone has a good amount of storage regardless. To me, like any other phone, the camera does not do as well indoors but is great in outdoor lighting. So yes a few minor issues but seriously for the price, fantastic. Also, I had no issues connecting up with my T-Mobile service. Nor have I had any complications downloading to my computer. (I have had the phone a little over a month now & will edit if any issues arise)

I'm giving this one star because the back button didn't work and the screen would randomly go black for a few seconds and then turn back on. The design of the phone was really nice and everything else looked great! Amazon is shipping me a new one so I will updated to see if the next one does the same thing.

Ordered this off of another website but I like reviewing here anyway :).Great and inexpensive phone. Everything looks and feels at or above par for a device at this price point. The display and design are superb... it really is very thin and stylish. The OS is clean of bloatware and runs very smoothly. Cameras are quite good and at the quality expected for the price. The body is mostly metal and has a satisfying weight and feel to it; certainly doesn't feel like a sub-$200 phone.Overall, great phone and highly recommend it!!!
