While the Neffos N1 and Neffos C7 got their official launch in Malaysia today, we also managed to get some time with the 2 smartphones, so if you're interested, check out our hands-on first impressions of the Neffos N1 and Neffos C7 below. Just for a refresher, the Neffos N1 is currently going for a promotional price of RM1099 while the C7 is going for RM599.
Neffos N1 - RM1099
- Octa-core MediaTek Helio P25 MT6757CD processor
- 4GB RAM
- 64GB storage + up to 128GB microSD
- 5.5-inch display (FHD, 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution, Corning Gorilla Glass 3, 2.5D curved glass)
- 12MP (RGB, Sony IMX 386) + 12MP (monochrome, Sony IMX 386) dual rear cameras | 8MP front camera
- features a rear fingerprint sensor, A-GPS, dedicated ringtone mute switch, 4G LTE (Cat 6)
- supports 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, 5GHz dual band, Bluetooth 4.1, USB Type C
- Android 7.1.1
- 3260 mAh battery
- Available in black
Featuring a more premium all metal build, the matte surface on the Neffos N1 is quite slippery yet still manages to attract smudges and fingerprints. That being said, build quality is solid and tough, while the 7.4mm thin body is compact despite the 3260 mAh battery.
The mute switch on the side seems to only mute the ringtone
The camera strip on the back really makes it look like the Huawei P9 except for the much more rounded corners on the Neffos N1. The dedicated ringtone mute switch is interesting but all it seems to do is mute the ringtone. TP-Link have mentioned that the 2.4GHz / 5GHz dual band WiFi on the N1 and C7 allow them to work better and faster on TP-Link networking devices like routers and so forth but we didn't manage to test it out just yet.
Neffos C7 - RM599
- Octa-core 64-bit MediaTek MT6750 processor
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB storage + microSD
- 5.5 - inch HD IPS display (720 x 1280 pixel resolution, 720p)
- 13MP rear camera (LED flash) + 8MP front camera (beauty mode)
- features a rear fingerprint sensor, A-GPS, 4G LTE
- supports 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, 5GHz dual band, Bluetooth 4.1, microUSB
- 76.96 x 154 x 7mm | 157g
- 3060 mAh battery
- Android 7.0 Nougat
- Available in grey and gold
The Neffos C7 opts for a plastic back to go with the metal frame which personally makes it feel less slippery and more comfortable to hold. Build quality is good despite this though but apart from the 7mm super thin body the design is somewhat generic.
