The majority of chinese smartwatches that we can find in the market are usually unpowerful and of poor quality, this is a fact. For this reason, if what we want is a product of good performance we have to stretch a little more our budget to go for a model a little higher that gives us a better price performance ratio, as the model that we are going to talk about today: the Colmi i2, a smartwatch with 3G and some interesting features that provides everything necessary for the connected life.
Design
The Colmi i2 is made of stainless steel and with a non removable rubber strap, and although it is not submersible it is water and sweat resistant, so we can use it in everyday life and if we even want to wear it while we play sports. It has a weight of only 90 grams, so we will not even notice that we wear it.
Of course it has a lot of different “faces” to be able to select the one we like most at any time of day.
In the box you will find the smartwatch, user manual, a screw driver and a proprietary USB cable for charging.
Hardware
We can talk about features at first instance, but in fact, this is wrist cellphone, more than smartwatch.
The device is powered by a MediaTek MTK6580 quad-core SoC running @1.3Ghz, accompanied by 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, partly occupied by the Android 5.1. It is an “old” version of the Google operating system, but it is very light and in this case optimized to work as lightning in the smartwatch.
The device has a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen with 400 x 400 pixel resolution (286 ppi) so it will show very sharp images with great color saturation. Its battery is of 450 mAh. It has of course GPS, heart rate sensor and pedometer, as well as Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity and a nano SIM slot to be able to connect a card and have independence of the smartphone, being able to receive and make calls, surf the internet, social networks, Whatsapp, and basically all we can do with a smartphone but on our wrist. Also sports, more like, a spy camera, good enough to take shots to the places you reach in your daily workouts.
