Comparisons Featuring Plum Optimax 2

Short Review

  • The Plum Optimax 2 features a large 7.0-inch TN TFT display with a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels, providing a basic visual experience with a pixel density of approximately 170 ppi.
  • Its design is relatively bulky, measuring 192 x 109.7 x 11.5 mm and weighing 270 grams, available in multiple colors including Black, Silver, and Rose Gold.
  • Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
  • The device includes 8GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD, but the Mali-400 GPU may struggle with demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • The battery capacity is 2400 mAh, providing moderate usage time without fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is dated, lacking updates and modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack are notable features.
  • Overall, the Plum Optimax 2 offers basic functionality with limited performance and outdated software.
