The Obi WorldPhone SF1 is a solid effort, but falls short in terms of overall user experience
Jan 04 2016 By Nitansh RastogiThe 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 FAQs) and similarly-priced Moto G Turbo (first impressions), in case one is looking for compact offerings. There are loaded phablets like the ASUS ZenFone 2 (review FAQs) in this price range too.In a nutshell, the Obi WorldPhone SF1 is a solid effort, but falls short in terms of an overall user experience. If a unique design is what you’re after, then there’s nothing wrong with the SF1, but otherwise, it doesn’t seem as impressive as the competition.
