Obi Mobiles made its debut in India last year as a provider of low-cost Android smartphones. What made this company different from numerous others newcomers is that it had a strong backer; ex-Apple CEO John Sculley to be precise. However, Obi Mobiles seemed like every other company, picking an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) from China to design and manufacture phones to sell under its own name. The company's debut offering, the Obi Octopus S520 (Review | Pictures) only focused on specifications but failed to address other key areas like aesthetics and user experience.

Obi Worldphone SF1 Summary

The Obi Worldphone SF1 is a striking handset in the sub-Rs. 15,000 price segment. The raised full-HD display is crisp and delivers punchy colours. The phone also has good ergonomics thanks to the matte-finish texture on the body. The octa-core Qualcomm SoC delivers good performance in games and the 3GB of RAM helps in multitasking. The phone suffers from an annoying stutter throughout the interface which we hope can be fixed with a software update. Camera performance is good for macros and landscapes in daylight but low-light shots could have been a lot better. Battery life is good and the phone supports fast charging too. Overall, the SF1 is a good package and will be even better once the software glitches are fixed.

  • worst experience by going for SF1 and buying through gadgets360
    Kuldeep Kumar (Feb 24, 2016) on Gadgets 360
    many reasons to support my allegations.... 1. The delievery and packing by gadgets360 is exceptionally worst. 2. Got the phone 10 days after booking. 3. SF1 stopped working(blank screen) after 3.5 hrs of receiving the handset. Even tried to force resart the phone as suggested by customer care of OBI , but left with no result. 4. Contacted with cc of gadgets360 and left out with no satisfactory response. 5. They say easy returns.... where the hell does it apply??????? This is the first and Im sure even the last deal with gadgets360.

    Vamsi Murthy (Dec 25, 2015) on Gadgets 360
    Hi all.. I am writing this review after using for past 4 days Its a good one..I was little hesistant to buy in the start as there was no valuable review. The phone got immediately updated on startup.. The obi lifestyle sepecs are good and doesnt hang now. Camera quality is good. Believe me this phone is fast & light weight & easy to use. Only drawbacks include: No headphones included and difficult to get accessories at this time.
