Xtouch X3, X3 Mini, Xtouch Ocean Get Introduced In Kenya

This is the flagship device is indeed a looker announced on Friday 30th May in Nairobi, and at 6.99 mm also quite slim for the 5.5 inch frame. Xtouch X3 is the money maker for the Xtouch brand as it seeks to bring the assault to the high end smartphone with a mid range pricing.

It’s claim to fame is a world first hit at 1.5Ghz Mediatek Hexacore powered smartphone, it also has predefined smart gesture controls that you can operate from a lock screen.

For example, a gesture with the finger, up direction unlocks the device, gesturing down opens the camera, drawing a “C” on the idle screen opens the phone dialer app, gesture “O”opens the message app and gesture “e” takes you to the internet browser.

There is an explicit detailing at the back that says the phone was designed by TecSync and made in China. The design is quite well done and the absence of SIM card slots on the sides signifies that the device does have a removable back cover. The bezel too does it some justice while it also has physical menu controls below the screen. It comes with the below specs sheet:

Xtouch Ocean

Xtouch Ocean is the baby in the smartphones range, by baby I mean it has quite a modest specs sheet with effects felt in internal storage, imaging and RAM. I know Google made Android Kitkat support devices with 256MB RAM but this is running Jelly Bean, so it remains to be seen how the device performs with 256MB RAM. Design is not similar to the other two and also unlike the X series, this one is minus a flash for the camera. Let’s delve into the specs sheet:
