The Synrgic Uno can be purchased from today online for US$320 (S$400) with free international shipping. The phone is designed and developed in Singapore and manufactured in Korea.
The Synrgic Uno is available from today at US$320 (S$400).
The Android 4 ICS smartphone has a 4.7-inch 16:9 S-IPS LCD (Corning Gorilla Glass) with 1280 x 720 pixels.
Market positioning
Affordably priced at S$400, the Synrgic Uno is positioned more as an entry-level smartphone amongst against the likes of Nokia’s Lumia 520, Sony Xperia L and Samsung GALAXY Express.
The specs are remarkably similar to the LG 4X HD.
It certainly does not have any pretensions to challenge flagship models such as Lumia 920, Xperia Z, HTC One and GALAXY S4.
Synrgic’s stated main markets are therefore Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and China, rather than brand-conscious Singapore.
The Synrgic Uno has an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front camera (capable of capturing 1080p Full HD video).
Hands on
The Synrgic Uno measures 135 x 71 x 9.5 mm and weighs only 133g with the removable 2,300 mAh Li-Po battery.
