If you are kinda not into the screen resolution of Kraken but you still want an octa-core handset then SKK Mobile has an answer as they announced the Marian S1.
The octa-core smartphone is both the first with HD display and first with that powerful processor from the smartphone and tablet line-up dedicated to known actress Marian Rivera. Interesting features for me are (if will arrive soon) then this will be the first of it’s kind with Android 4.4.2 Kitkat out of the box from a local mobile phone brand. Another is the 2 options for the battery. If you want a slimmer version, then you can load it with 1900 maH battery. If you want a more powerful one, insert the 2,400 maH battery.
It comes in 3 colors: black, white and pink
The price of the SKK Mobile Marian S1 is competitive for it’s specs at P9,999. No announcement yet on when it will be available in SKK Mobile branches and kiosks.
