Design and Display
Fero has always had a way of crafting nice looking smartphones overtime especially their Royale smartphone series. The new smartphone is certainly no exception with its nice build and solid ergonomics. Made from aluminium alloy the smartphone looks more premium than it actually is.
On the other hand, not much can be said when it comes to the smartphone’s display has it comes with a low 1280 x 720 pixels resolution on a 5.5-inch screen and a 233 ppi pixel density. Although this on a low side but I guess as an entry level smartphone this will have to do.
Battery and Camera
The Fero Royale Y2 comes with a fairly large battery capacity better than most smartphones in its category. In that regard, the smartphone has a 3, 900mAh Li-Po battery which is nice isn’t it. However, there’s no quick charge feature here which is quite disappointing.
Although the Fero Royale Y2 is an entry level smartphone the camera featured here is capable of taking pleasant pictures. In the same vein, featured on this device is a 13MP rear camera with dual LED flash and an 13MP front camera.
Hardware and Software
Taking care of things on the inside is a rather low level SoC which is understandable being an entry level. So you will not expect the same performance seen in high-end smartphones. The smartphone sports a MediaTek MT6737 processor running at 1.25GHz and a 2 core ARM Mali-T720 GPU.
In addition, the Fero Royale Y2 has 2GB internal memory and a 16GB built-in storage. There’s a chance to extend to 128GB using a memory card. Running on the smartphone is an Android 7.0 Nougat straight from the box.
Fero Royale Y2 Price and Availability
The smartphone is available for sale in a number of smartphone stores and online shopping platforms. It costs about 28, 000 Naira to 37, 000 Naira.
