Obi Worldphone SF1 Review: Great mid-range hardware with spotty software - Tech2

Our review is on the more powerful offering, the 32GB variant of the Obi Worldphone SF1, that packs in the goods and enough punch to tackle seasoned mid-rangers considering its Rs 13,999 price tag.

The Obi Worldphone SF1 is indeed a contender that will check all the boxes off your budget/mid-range smartphone’s checklist. The device packs in a capable processor and plenty of RAM for a smartphone that is priced at Rs 13,999 (there is a more...

Obi Worldphone SF1 review

Obi SF1 is the latest mid-range smartphone in the Indian market from the San Francisco based Obi Worldphones, a venture by former Apple CEO- John Sculley. The highlight of the smartphone is its stylish design that features an elevated display and...

The stylish and premium design of the Obi SF1 really makes a good impression. The camera is also a decent performer and the 3,000mAh battery unit delivers an acceptable backup. Moreover, music lovers will appreciate the integrated Dolby audio system in...

The one thing that disappoints about Obi SF1 is its sluggish software performance. We want Obi to come up with some software fix as the SF1 justifies all other aspects of being a great smartphone in its price category

This is not the first time when a CEO or some senior person from a known tech giant has ventured into a new brand. We all know the fate of Jolla smartphones, which were termed as the new innovation in term of software experience by the manufacturer,...

Obi Worldphone SF1 Review

Striking aesthetics ; Sharp display and sturdy build ; Supports fast charging ; Good battery life ; Camera is good for macros

Intermittent UI stutter ; Weak low-light camera performance ; Android 5.0 out-of-the-box

The Obi Worldphone SF1 retails at Rs. 14,000 for the 32GB variant, which is pretty good considering the overall package. It's definitely a striking phone with good build quality, solid battery life, and very good audio. The camera is pretty good at...
