Obi Worldphone SF1 32GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Nitansh Rastogi]()
Verdict
The WorldPhone SF1 represents a starkly different approach followed by Obi with its re-launch. Earlier, the brand was following the spray-and-pray methodology by introducing a number of offerings, priced between Rs 5,000 to 10,000, which had similar hardware specs as the competition. But now, it has launched an attractively-priced proposition which has promising specs, and one that also stands out amidst the competition with its unique design.However, the 3GB model of the OBI WorldPhone SF1 is up against some powerful and reliable options in the form of the more affordable Xiaomi Mi 4i (review...

Design: the eye-catcher
+
One look at the retail box of the Obi WorldPhone SF1, and it’s clear that the manufacturer is trying to put its point across – this offering is unlike any other device available in the market. And, what better way to highlight the same, than to offer a unique design? The SF1 is surely a head-turner with its interesting design language.

Display: not its brightest point
+
The Obi WorldPhone SF1 uses a 5-inch screen from Japan Display Inc., which bears a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. With the pixel density of 441ppi, the display offers crisp text and images, and colours also remain vibrant. Viewing angles are decent, and brightness also appears to be fine – at least indoors. However, the screen becomes almost illegible outdoors under harsh sunlight.

Software: half-baked customisations
+
Handling the software affairs on the Obi WorldPhone SF1 is the brand’s custom skin on top of Android 5.1 Lollipop. Dubbed as LifeSpeed UI, the layer offers custom icons along with a few preloaded apps.

Camera: average results
+
On paper, the Obi WorldPhone SF1 has a powerful camera, with a 13-meg sensor from Sony with f/2.0 aperture taking care of primary photos and an 5MP camera at the front for selfies. What’s more, you can use both the shooters in dim settings as both of them get help from dedicated LED flash units.

Performance: gets bogged down due to the software
+
The onus of the performance in the Obi WorldPhone SF1 lies on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 CPU. The processor is made up of two quad-core clusters running at 1.5GHz and 1.0GHz respectively. The device is available in two models, while the lower-priced model comes with 2 gigs of RAM, the higher-end version – the one we’re reviewing – sports a generous 3GB of RAM. The hardware is competent and ensures that the device delivers a smooth usage throughout. App opens quickly, and switching between them is also instantaneous.
