Reliance LYF F1S with 16MP camera & Snapdragon 652 processor – Specs & Price

Reliance Retail launched the Reliance LYF F1S on Monday to succeed the LYF F1 in the Reliance LYF F1 series of cheap smartphones. The LYF F1S is a bundle of surprise from the company, as it packs a many notable specs at a low price that beats competition in its class.

The Reliance LYF F1S has many of the specifications of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but it’s substantially cheaper than the 2015 Xiaomi flagship device. It even comes with a 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 652 processor at a price of Rs. 9599, becoming the cheapest smartphone in India to feature the processor.

Reliance LYF F1S Specifications, Review and Highlights

Reliance LYF F1S

The Reliance LYF F1S comes with a 5.2-inch IPS display with a Full HD (1920 * 1080) pixel resolution and Corning Concore Glass 3 protection. The phone is just 7.7 millimetres thick and weighs 146 grammes.

The LYF F1S comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB internal memory which can be expanded up to 128GB via its Hybrid Dual SIM slot (micro+nano/microSD card). Graphics operations on the phone are handled by the popular Adreno 510 GPU.

It packs a 3000mAh battery with fast charging capabilities and supports 4G VoLTE as many other Reliance smartphones do. You can share of its battery juice with other devices using USB OTG via its USB Type-C port.

The Reliance LYF F1S sports a 16MP camera with a dual-tone LED flash at the rear while a 5MP camera also with LED flash is present at the front. The phone runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box.

It’s saddening that this phone doesn’t possess a fingerprint sensor which is a deal-breaker for many and something that wouldn’t make me buy the phone if I were to be in India.
