After having our hands on with Walton Primo V1, here we are again with another new Walton device that has hit the shelves recently. Enter Walton Primo S2.
Walton
has now become famous for bringing out new smartphones in almost every
month which keeps the customers waiting to see which ones better and
most importantly affordable. Here’s our hands on with Walton Primo S2 to
help you take a decision!
The
Walton Primo S2, at first sight seems to be bear a resemblance with the
Moto G or Galaxy SIII’s design language. It comes with a 5-inch HD
screen with a 1280 x 720 resolution where most of us might expect it to
feature a Full HD one. The display on the other hand looks sharp and
crisp but not that great as we might have expected it if it had a Full
HD display. To protect the capacitive touch screen, it is guarded with
the 3rd generation Corning Gorilla Glass. So bye bye to scratches and
the glass-break.
Weighing
140g with battery on board, the device is a bit thicker than the normal
smartphones we see in the market, around 8.9mm. The rear of the Primo
S2 is a plastic material which would be a great haven for fingerprints.
Exactly like the one in Galaxy S4. At the right, there’s the volume
rocker and the power button leaving the right side free. The headphone
jack is situated at the top making it easier for would-be S2 owners to
hear music at ease. Finally, at the bottom, there’s the micro USB port
and a microphone.
The
Primo S2 is a mid-range device if you compare it with other
smartphones. So don’t get your hopes high just because it’s a recently
released product. Under the hood, Walton Primo S2 is armed with a 1.4GHz
Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, Adreno 305 as its GPU and a
2GB RAM. To meet your storage needs, the phone comes packed with 16GB
free of space for all your app downloads and photos. If you want more,
it also has an expandable memory upto 32GB which however should have
been increased to atleast 128GB.
To check its juice, I ran the Antutu Benchmark Test where the device scored 19683 pointswhich
is lower than Xperia Z and the 2013 Nexus 7 and ranks above the old
Nexus 10. Here are the set of pictures of the Antutu Benchmark tests and
other hardware info that you might want to have a look at.
Turn
the device, you’ll find a 13 megapixel camera using CMOS sensor with
LED Flash and a 5 megapixel camera at the front which would be enough to
take a perfect selfie. On another note, the device is also capable of
recording Full HD videos. Do keep in mind about the storage space if
you’re looking forward to record a lot of Full HD videos with this.

Walton
Primo S2 runs on Android 4.3 Jellybean and uses the same user interface
that we have seen before in Walton Primo V1, close to Amigo UI. It’s
high time Walton needs to update the OS from Jellybean to Kitkat.
The
Primo S2 carries a price tag of 18,000 Tk which is, in our point of
view, set at the right range compared to the specs that it houses. While
running the Dual SIM Primo S2, I did not face any sort of lags that
would be worth noticing. If you’re looking forward to procuring a Walton
device with a price range less than 20,000, the Primo S2 should be a
great smartphone to bag.
