Hisense’s Mira brand is about to be succeeded by the Mira 2 a very stylish
phone, with below par hardware.
Hisense are very involved with the
Android movement in
China. They have a great range of tablets, which sell well around the world, they were one of the
first in
China to make Android smart TV’s and they have a few set top boxes doing the rounds to.
The weak link in their armada of Android though is their Android phones! Hisesnse hope the Mira 2 might fix that, but we’re sceptical.
If we look at the Mira 2 it is easy to see where
Hisense have spent much of their development time. This
phone really looks special! There are few few HTC one features here and there, but
Hisense have added enough to make the
design their own.
With such a great
design we were hoping for much more from the Mira 2 but at best
Hisense have made an overpriced, but stylish, mid-range phone! The display is a
5.5-inch 720p panel, there is just 1GB RAM and 16GB memory and the
rear camera is an 8 mega-pixel unit! Worst of all though is the
carrier support, only
China Mobiles TD-SCDMA is supported at this time.
At least Hisense have proven they can make a great looking phone, all we need now are the guts to go with it.
