How much would you like to pay for a smartphone equipped with 2K display, 4GB RAM and a Snapdragon 810 chip as Shallots Metal? How about less than $350? That sounds kind of too good to be true but you’d better believe. 

Shallots Metal: New powerful smartphone to beat flagships!

This is a Chinese device which is said to aim at Xiaom Redmi Note line-up. At first, we thought it would be hard for Shallots Metal to beat a giant smartphone manufacturer as Xiaomi and its budget but so strong handsets such as Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 and the latest Note 3. However, after knowing what Shallots Metal’s got, we have to change our mind. Yes, the Shallots Metal specs can even defeat Xiaomi Mi Note or be compared with Xiaomi Mi Note Pro.

Specifically, the Metal owns a 6-inch 2K display, a Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB ROM (expandable), and a fingerprint sensor. As for the camera, there are an 8MP front-facing and a 16MP rear-facing snapper with f/2.0, PDAF tech and capability of recording 4K videos. Besides, the whole machine is powered by an impressively big 5,100mAh. Well, those are such excellent features for a smartphone.

Well, now you understand why we said Shallots Metal could totally become a “scary” rival not only to Xiaomi Redmi Note phones but also to many other handsets on the market at the moment. But, that is in terms of specifications. Price will be the key point here to support our thinking. Check the next part for Shallots Metal price.
