The
name InFocus might ring a bell, as sure enough, you would have seen at
least one of its projectors in offices or in tech magazines by now.
It's an American company that's well known for video and
communications devices, and like most, has branched out into
producing smartphones as well. Its latest flagship, the M812, launched
this week along with two more handsets. We'll be putting it through the grind today to see if
it's worth your time and money.
Look and feel
The InFocus
M812 is the successor to the M810, which the company launched this July.
The new smartphone ditches the glass back of the M810 for a
unibody aluminium chassis. The result is quite brilliant as the phone
feels sturdy and very premium. On one hand, it looks very similar
to the Apple iPhone 6 (Review | Pictures), which is not necessarily a bad thing. It's not surprising at all when you consider the original device manufacturer (ODM) for the phone is Foxconn. To avoid
getting in hot water with the Californian tech giant, InFocus has added
some design elements such as a novelty 4G logo on the back, and positioned the camera module in the center.
The InFocus M812 is well-built unibody smartphone carved from a single block of aluminium. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC is still very capable and delivers good performance in games and video playback. The display is also sharp and vivid with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Battery life and camera performance are other areas where the M812 does a good job too. Those looking to use two SIM cards will be disappointed since you can either do that or expand the storage – not both. The speaker could have been better too and despite an onboard amplifier, isn’t the clearest. At a launch price of Rs 19999, it will be a tough sell when you have the Motorola Moto X Play selling for less.
