 Design and Display


 The Archos 50 Diamond has an attractive design, which follows the market trend to create quite thin phones and in various colors. Specifically, this model has a thickness of only 8 mm and is available in black or yellow. This second configuration will look yellow both the housing and on the sides and the front lower end. The full dimensions Diamond 50 are in the 146 x 70.4 x 8 mm and weight up to 142 grams. As for the screen, we have a 5-inch IPS panel with full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. This resolution yields a density of 442 dots per inch, a figure that will allow us to enjoy the contents of the team with an excellent level of detail. In fact, it is a remarkable model for viewing videos and movies in high resolution. Furthermore, the use of IPS technology favors viewing angles up to 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically. Archos also wanted to highlight the OGS (One Glass Solution) technology, which eliminates one of the intermediate layers between the touch panel and glass. As a result, reflections on the screen are reduced.

 Camera


 One of the most appealing aspects of this smartphone is its photographic section. The Archos 50 Diamond sports a powerful rear camera with BSI sensor and a resolution of 16 megapixels. This objective is intended to take good pictures in low light and also includes the ability to record video in high resolution 1080p (30 fps). Moreover, in the front we have an 8 megapixel camera that should give us an excellent performance when taking selfies or use videoconferencing apps.

 Memory and Power


 The Archos 50 Diamond uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor eight cores with a power of 1.7 GHz on four cores and 1 GHz in the remaining four cores. This chip is combined with a RAM of 2 GB to run a larger number of processes without computer performance slowdowns. The internal space of mobile Archos amounts to 16 GB. In principle, it is sufficient capacity for normal usage model. In case we need more space we can draw on a Micro SD card up to 128 GB or a system of internal storage like Dropbox or OneDrive.

 Operating System and Applications


 The operating system you use this phone is Android 4.4.4 KitKat, one of the latest revisions of this popular platform Google. Archos has decided to maintain the full Android experience, so we have a clean ecosystem similar to that can be enjoyed in models like the Nexus. One of the few inclusions of the company has been your Archos Video application to manage the pieces that we record in the mobile or downloading videos from the network.


 In addition, Android offers a broad universe of applications with nearly half a million titles in the official store. Among the biggest names found social networking applications like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, messaging apps like WhatsApp or Line and games like Candy Crush Saga or Clash of Clans. Also, we must not forget the importance of Google’s own tools. For example, YouTube will make us spend many leisure hours watching the latest fashion video clip (or the last hit of kittens). Through Google Maps sail anywhere in the world and Gmail will manage all emails. Finally, we would stress Google Now, a smart tool that learns your preferences to offer relevant information in the form of cards.

 Connectivity


 In the field of connections, one of the great attractions Archos smartphone is its ability to connect to high speed 4G networks with up to 150 Mbps. In those places that do not reach this coverage we can also connect to HSPA networks up to 21 Mbps. Meanwhile, at home we can save data through wireless connectivity.


 Other connections Archos 50 Diamond include Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi Direct to connect directly with another NFC-enabled computer or to perform payments through mobile. Finally, we have A-GPS to navigate anywhere with apps like Google Maps or Waze.

 Autonomy, price and reviews


 Mobile Archos uses a 2700 milliamp battery that promises excellent performance, but for now we have no official figures on the time of use of this model. It is expected to hit the market in the coming weeks for an approximate price of 200 euros. In short, this is a serious attempt by the company to abandon its image as a manufacturer of cheap (and of a quality that is sometimes questionable). The Archos 50 Diamond combines a screen with good resolution Full HD with a fine design and a set of top-level cameras that promises good pictures and selfies. If he manages to unite these technical features good reliability in use and duration we face a team to keep in mind in 2015.
