VKworld? Yes, the company’s name might sound unfamiliar and odd, but its VKWorld VK700 smartphone is a decent one to consider when in search of a budget device offering large screen estate. The device comes with a 5.5-inch HD display and a quad-core processor.

Build and Screen
Not a lot is done to conceal the budget status of the VKworld VK700 in terms of build quality.
The body is fashioned out of plastic and comes in quite bulky at about 182 grams. The phone is not overly thick at 8 millimetres and has curved edges which boost its appearance.
VKWorld VK700 packs in a huge 5.5-inch IPS display having a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. Although a pixel density of about 218 pixels is not awesome, but you can still expect decent wide-angle viewing.
Camera and Storage
On paper, the VKworld VK700 offers a robust pair of snappers. A 13-megapixel rear-facing camera is accompanied by a 5-megapixel selfie snapper. However, experience tells us that high resolution is not everything when talking about breathtaking image capturing.
You be the judge. The phone comes with onboard storage capacity of 16 GB, expandable using a microSD card.
Performance and OS
You should expect the same level of performance you will typically get on a budget device in this range these days, especially when Chinese manufacturers are concerned.
The VKWorld VK700 is powered by a quad-core MediaTek MT6582 processor clocked at 1.3 GHz. The ARM Cortex-A7 CPU is paired with a Mali-400 MP2 GPU and 1 GB of RAM. You will most likely be a bit disappointed to learn that the phone still boots Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box.
Miscellaneous Specifications
The VKworld VK700 is equipped with a high-capacity 3,200mAh Li-Ion removable battery said to be capable of supporting standby time of up to 10 days. It offers dual-SIM dual standby feature, allowing the use of a Mini SIM and a Micro SIM.
Connectivity features include microUSB 2.0 with OTG support, Bluetooth 4.0, 3G WCDMA and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot functionality.
Pricing and Availability
VkWorld VK700 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. VkWorld VK700 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N20,000 to N30,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
