Obi Worldphone SF1 coming to India this month

Obi Worldphone has confirmed that the Obi Worldphone SF1 smartphone will be launched in India before the end of November. In a bit of an odd turn, the company also revealed that it had actually launched both the Obi Worldphone SF1 and the Obi Worldphone SJ1.5 in Vietnam and Dubai already. The SF1 retails at a starting price of $199 USD while the SJ1.5 is less expensive at only $129 USD.

The Obi smartphones are designed to meet the “market need between high-design smartphones at high prices and generic smartphones at low prices.” Part of their effort in positioning their devices in the market was to attract the backing of former Apple CEO John Sculley to help provide some buzz. Obi is also drawing on the design work of San Francisco-based Ammunition, a studio that also developed the Obi Lifespeed user interface.

The Worldphone SF1 is middle of the pack when it comes to a processor, sporting a Snapdragon 615. However, other specs are impressive, especiallly considering the price, including a 5-inch full HD display with a 443 ppi and Corning Gorilla Glass 4, a microSD slot, 4G LTE support, a 13MP camera with a Sony sensor, and a 3,000 mAh battery.
